Teacher: I went to the beach and took some pictures. A beach ball !
Have students name each word.
Cutouts give the students
opportunities to use the language.
Game Pass the cutout. Have the students sit in a circle
depending on the size of your class. Pass a beach cutout to a student .
Teacher: a beach ball.
Student 1: Thank you. (This student
passes the beach ball cutout)
A beach ball.
Student 2: Thank you. (This student
passes the beach ball cutout)
A beach ball. Continue.
Game Step forward:
Stand several students in a line in front of the class. Distribute a
cutout to each one. Name a beach item and have the student holding the cutout
step forward and say the word.
File Folder Game: make some file folder
games for your class to cut
cost. Games are usually expensive and hard to
get. Children can do the
activities as independent work time. I created the beach boys and girls as
markers. I placed them into binder clips.
Flashcards: use them to reinforce
oral language and recognize words. Flashcards work well with visual learners.
Game: Cover the flashcard with a handkerchief, if it is white the better and
ask what is it. Then proceed to remove the handkerchief and see if the class
guessed the word.
Matching Memory game: this game is not intended to assess memory skills in our students.You can also use it
as a matching game of identical beach ball cards or matching the ball to the
color word.
Counting Beach items: guide your
students´ mathematical understanding by making the utterance of a number word
correspond to beach items.
Using
a clothesline and clothespin I had children hang up the beach balls.
Pocket Chart: many
EFL Teachers don´t use them enough for teaching effectively for multisensory
language acquisition. Place all the colored beach balls and then read the
phrases to the children and place them in the pocket .Leave the chart up in the
class during all your unit sessions, so you can read them again and again.
Also, teach children how to place the beach balls and the phrases in the pocket
chart slots so they can participate as your assistant.
Beach Scene: I created
a beach scene to serve as a background for children to interact. They can draw
the sun, decorate the towel with patterns, place more objects on the sand or at
the water, the umbrella can be colored in a pattern as well. I also included a
shell page from the Sprinkles book. With the shells, the children can color and
cut them, and place them on the sand as a big-small pattern, as placing an
assigned number of shells on the sand. Write to me if you want the file.(ei98srl@gmail.com)
Write and wipe cards: make this a
reusable learning activity. Have the students write the words , then wipe clean and continue . I
used different devices
to add variety.
Beach Bingo: use it to teach beach
vocabulary words. I made it as a
printable activity for students to identify and color beach
related words. this activity creates interest and increases listening skill.
Use bottle caps or m&m´s as markers. The bingo cards are for the children
to color in so you can make copies for up to 10 children. I also included a
blank bingo card so children can draw their pictures if you have bigger classes.
Make 2 copies of the Teacher´s bingo board, one for placing the pieces that you
name and another for you to show to the class.
Book: having your class equipped
with books is not easy in foreign countries.
Teach them to read according the age that is appropriate to your country. Have
print all around the room in an informal manner. There is no need to make them
read in the preschool years.
And there´s the letter arts and craft for the Beach Theme in another product.
I placed the letters in an old file folder with clear plastic sheets.
Students can easily write the starting letter with a marker and the erase it using wet wipes.
Older students can write the Word.
