Day 3. Halloween small cards!! 

Just 24 cards with the main vocabulary words used in Halloween. The cards are small enough for online teaching or small groups approach.

The cards can be used to teach or review the vocabulary. Video:

And now, the games! The most obvious, Memory Game. Just print double and you have Memory! A video:

I came across a game that I used to play with my students years ago. It’s called SNAP! You might have played,too. Print 2 sets of cards. Students mainly pay in groups of 4. Distribute all the cards, students place all the 6  cards face down on a pile in front of them. The first students turns over their top card of their pile and say the Word.  The next student turns over the top card say the Word again. And so on. When two cards are the same, the first player to say SNAP! And slap the two cards wins the two cards. The winner is the one with the most sets of cards. Take a look.

Using a recycled old CD case as a board. Students write the Word that is on each card.

Vocabulary can be written using magnetic letters.  

Sorting can happen using plastic plates. I wrote the words person and thing and had the students sort the cards.

A Grid can de done on a small board for online teaching or just for small groups. I placed a magnet behind each card. Make the grid as big as you want. I created an example here. You say a number letter combination and students will say what is there. Or you say the Word and the say the number-letter combination of its location.

Look at it.

Play Spelling Bingo. Students complete their spelling grid with the words from the cards. You call out the bingo using the cards.

I am sure you can think of more games and activities, leave me your idea below. Make sure to review the numbers!   https://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2020/10/day-4-of-31-days-of-halloween-2020-new.html

 Day 2.  Halloween BINGO game!!  Today it is the BINGO game! I love playing this game in class. There is a template for the students.

The calling cards for the teacher. I only added these colors. If you need more colors just color the students template or let me know to make them for you. 

There are more things to do with the calling cards. I suggest students sort the cards on their template to review the vocabulary.

Incorporate speaking ¡ Take a look.

The sorting can be done on a pocket chart or on the table.

The student’s template can be turned into a mobile. I found this idea of using straws to do it. It was quite easy. I used thin straws but maybe thicker straws would be better. I passed yarn through the Straw to put the mobile up.

 Finished look.

I would love to see how how you used the templates. 

There are cards for many games to play in class.   https://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2020/10/day-3-of-the31-days-of-halloween-2020.html

Day 1. For today, I planned a printable book. It can be done in class or at home.

 The students will have to trace the phrases using either one color or tracing the color Word in the same color. You can vary the instruction as much as you want.

Make your own book and read it to the students online or in class. You can also read the colored versión.

                              Cut up all the pages.

I assembled the pages by gluing a strip of paper to each page. I stapled them together.

I used Halloween duct tape to put the book together.

I would love to see how how you put your book together. The next blog post is the Halloween Bingo for the little ones:   https://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2020/10/day-2-of-the31-days-of-halloween-2020.html

Alphabet Workbook or Worksheets and more for English Language Learners

  I updated the resource, I changed the clip art and the font of the workbook.
There aren´t many alphabet workbooks designed with the EFL learner in mind. In such a need for the school that I coordinate EFL Preschool, I created this multiuse resource.
Get the file here: 
https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Alphabet-Workbook-for-Elementary-ELL-2349980

The resource is also available here:   https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/alphabet-workbook-for-elementary-ell?variant=37318631293092

                             

   The selection of the correct resource will benefit your students. Use it as a workbook, print all the pages and then bind or just use it as worksheets whenever you need more material for a specific letter.

Printable Alphabet Workbook. The school turned the resource into a workbook. Students can learn the name and the sound of each letter. I listed three common words that begins with each letter. There are three pages per letter. 

Page 1 is to introduce the letter. Reinforce the Capital letter and small letter.
Teacher: Point to letter G.
Teacher: Color Letter G red.
Teacher: point to the girl.
Teacher: Color the girl.
Teacher: trace letter Gg blue and repeat the letter.

Page 2 is to color and trace the words with the letter. Then, students can cut all the items into flashcards to play games in class or to create minibooks and more as you will see below.    Teacher: Point to letter G. Color Letter G yellow. Continue dictating the color of the other items. 

Page 3 is to wrap up the letter study and create a create something with the letter, that why I put the word CRAFT. For this letter, the students turned the letter G into a glue bottle.Students can also cut that part of the page and use on their notebook for anything you want to do more activities. Teacher: Find letter G. Color Letter G green. Continue dictating the color of the capital G and the small g.

Here is the complete workbook.Check the VIDEO:

Make books. There are so many ways to create books to take home to practice the alphabet. Here are some examples of all the book you can make. The idea is to expand into other activites the pictures and words from the workbook.

make a craft for each letter to reinforce letter names. Hang them up in your classroom. This file has been a best seller in my TPT store. Teacher have hung them up in their rooms, some have done them in class with the children. Many teachers have found them easy to assemble, but if there is a special request for any letter let me know.

   

                     I added awards, labels for the flashcards and for the books.
