 Happy Holidays! ;)

Christmas tree card

Do you want to send a Christmas card created by yourself? If you want to you need to colour the following Christmas tree, presents, candles, etc, then you have to cut each piece and the stick them in a colour card.

Level: From Childhood up to 4th of Primary School. In Childhood you'll have to cut the different pieces because they are so small and difficul to cut.

Note for Teachers: It's a funny activity that children can create by themselves and bring with them to home. From the didactic point of view you can revise the Christmas vocabulary or introduce words news such as holly tree or biscuits, etc. You can work the TPR (Total Phisical Response) making you the activity with the students at the same time and they have to follow your steps and indications, saying for example. Take the glue and put it on the small candle piece. Stick the piece on the right side. Take the scissors and cut the tree, etc.

The results may be the following (they are cards from my students):

Reviewing Alphabet (Chritsmas Alphabet)

Maybe your teacher spell you some words in class. The following alphabet is different, it's a Christmas alphabet! Colour the letters your teacher tells and dicover the hidden word.

Level:  4th of Primary School.

Note for teachers:

You can do different games to review the alphabet, for example you can spell your students different words about Chritsmas that you have worked with they previously in class and they have to colour the letter you are dictating them.

Another possibility is to give them different words, one for each student and they have to spell. Maybe they can work in pairs and they can spell the word to the other student.

Chistmas Vocabulary

Hello boys and girls. We are going to learn some vocabulary about Christmas. After you learn these words and with the help of your teacher you can complete the Christmas vocabulary exercise.

Level: Vocabulary pictures could be used from childhool until 3rt and 4th of Primary School. Vocabulary exercise from 1st to 4th of Primary School.
 
Note for teachers:
I give you some tipical pictures about Chritmas with text. Children will see the picture and the text and you can say the world meanwhile you point at the picture and the text.

 

Vocabulary Exercise: 

In this exercise there are non all the words you can see above so you need to find them or show them to your students by covering the printed words.

Happy New Year 2011 to Everybody

Hello to everybody. Firstable I want to wish a Happy New Year to everybody. I also want to apologize for not editing my blog last mouth, I was too busy and to explain the reasons would be useless and the explanation would take too much time. I going to publish some matches about a little part of my work in the school before Christmas season. I know you are not going to use in January but they could be useful for all of you next holidays.

Happy 2011 :)

Shapes

 

 

 In Maths we study shapes but can you say them in English?. Try to match the shape with its picture. It's easyyyyyyy and funny!

Level: 2nd cycle of Primary

Teachers:

 Shapes are common to describe elements of our enviroment such as buildings, means of transport, etc and it's very useful for children to learn them in English. This is a good excuse to work the cross curricular topics. In this occasion the theme we relation with English will be Maths. Students will remember the shapes that they have learnt in previous courses. Another idea to complete this review is you play with them a bingo game where they will have to listen from you the different shapes and colours, and cross out in the different sheets with draws you  handed  out  previously. I show you an example sheet, after this explanation. They are going to practice with these activities the reading and listening skills.

Numbers (for 3th course of Primary)

I know you can say numbers until 10, until 20 or ever more, but are you able to write them without to see the following printables? Fill it these sheets by looking, writing and matching, and after that make a competition with your classroom mates or friends trying to write down the number your classroom mate tells you.

Level: 3th course of Primary school.

Teachers: 

I give you two printables I found on Internet in order to practice the writing skill mainly but we are going to practice also the others skills: speaking (one students will dictate other different numbers), reading (they have to read the numbers in letters), and listening (they  will have to pay attention to identificate the word in order to write them later). After fill in the printables they would work in pairs or small groups and trying to guess the numbers that others students try to dictate. Another idea could be to make a number dictation, that is to make the same game but you will be the person to read the numbers.
