Easter Board game: students will learn besides taking turns, to count spaces in English. Lots of sharing and waiting will occur with this attractive game. I placed mine on a file folder, but you can make any kind of layout with the pieces. I placed the bunny con clip binders so they can stand. The eggs can be glued on any path you like. Four children can play at the time. Player 1 rolls the die and moves the bunny the spaces indicated on the die. The players take turns.

Easter How many book ?:  This is a pattern kind of book so children can easily understand because all the words are repeated in every page.

Easter Photo Booth: so much fun to take  pictures.

Easter Wreath: focus on creating this fun wreath using crayons, chalk, paints, watercolors or tempera paint blocks.

 Easter Domino Game: use the game for matching skills. Easter pictures are used instead of dots. Help children link the dominos together.

Easter Game: play teaches children without even noticing it. Print all the cards and them in line in the half. Give each child a half-card and the go around looking for a friend that has the other half. They have to stand together, as you walk around checking and having the whole card members say the name of the card.

You can also play games like having the children group as chicks, carrots and so on. Or group as half chick with half carrots.

Flashcards game: Review the flashcards with the students. Shuffle the flashcards and have the students guess which flashcard you are holding. The student that guesses correctly keeps the card. 

Easter number eggs: help students learn discursive math and work on math topics with easy games. The student has to glue or place the correct amount of picture eggs on each number.

Easter Mobile: photocopy the pieces on colored cardboard if you wish. Students can use markers, sequins or glitter glue to decorate all the pictures. Punch a hole on all the pieces to put them together. I used yarn to hang up the mobile.

St. Patrick´s Day 2015

Transmit culture through this language lesson on a famous Holiday.

Talk about the Holiday to the children and use hands- on activities to get students acquainted to  this Green Holiday. Increase student´s awareness by offering insights into the Tradition and Culture as it is transmitted through language.

I made one resource for Preschool and Elementary students.

Watch the video with the complete resource:

Tracer book: You can add contact paper to each page and have the students use the book over and over again. Children can trace the words with the finger or erasable markers. Have the students read the phrase con each page. Tracing will help with writing.

Printable bracelets: Hand in a bracelet to each child. The children color the bracelets as indicated by you. Tape the ends together. As all the bracelets are different, call a word and have the students make groups with their bracelets. You can use different color paper to print them.

Domino: make a many sets you can, a set can work for three to four children. You can make large prints of the domino. Encourage children to play other games with the dominos.

Flashcards: use them to present the Holiday words. Stick the flashcards on the board.

Idea 1:    Teacher: It is green. It is for my head . (mime putting on the hat)

                Students: hat. (Pointing to the flashcard)

                Repeat with all the flashcards.

Idea 2:    If you are working on the alphabet. Have the students order the flashcards in alphabetical order.

Idea 3:    Teacher: ( show a card) It´s a yellow coin.

               Students: clap and say TRUE!  if it´s true.

                  NO! if it´s wrong.

Crown: print this crown and have as many as you need. They can have a powerful effect on discipline. It will encourage the rest of the class to follow the super student. Also consider giving the reward to those that make a great effort or huge progress in class. Give as many students the chance to win or wear the crown.

Graph: give the children the chance to read, interpret and analyze information, in English. Tell the children that with the graph they find out the favorite season of the year of the students in the class.

I always use cutouts in the lesson.  

It has endless possibilities.Hang them up as decoration!

or sort them into big or small.

or make a pattern, big/small.

And more ... make bracelets. Give each child a bracelet. Have them color as they wish.Put a tape to close the bracelet.

Teacher: Who has a yellow sun ?
Students raise their hands and show their bracelets.
 Continue with all the other bracelets.
Then, have the children walk around the classroom and find classmates that have the same bracelets and stand together in a group.
Teacher: Where is the sun group ?
Students show their bracelets as a group.

Color the scene.Children can color the scene as you dictate or as a free activity.

I love to make paper bag puppets. I have quite a collection. I can send them to your mail for free. (ei98srl@gmail.com)

The snowman has clothes. Print the snowman onto white colored cardboard and the clothes onto each colored cardboard.
I used a file folder to glue the white snowmand and a place two cd envelope on the side to hold the clothes. 
Teacher: The snowman has a blue hat, a blue scarf and blue shoes.
Students in groups find the clothes as fast as they can and dress the snowman.
Teacher: The snowman has a blue hat, a yellow scarf and red shoes.

Let´s make a crown! Print a set of leaves in each color that you want to review. Get some white plates and write each color word with the same color marker. Have the children sort all the leaves. 

Then have them make a pattern for the crown to present to the class.
