This blog post goes to the fun part of the Lesson Plan- Production. Activities for the Kindergarten ESL teacher to get the extra support to develop consistent work with your children.

Family Unit Printable Book. Students color the family members as you indicate. They also color the word. Put the book together anyway you want. Ask questions: Who's this?
Students: It's mom.

It is nice to see students draw their family members on each page of the book. Here is my example. You can create your own book to show your family members. Say several sentences like these.

Teacher: Look at my family. I have a little sister.I love my family.

Students can describe each family member.

This is my mom. Her name is Lili.

This is an old version of the same book. I grabbed a pretty napkin to make the cover of the book. I thought it wouldn’t work, but it turned out fine, I would suggest that you use a sturdy napkin. And this is how I assembled the book. Take a look!

Give the students their Family Bingo template. The teacher template or your calling cards is in black and white on purpose. You can use any way you want. You can color the hair and play according to the hair color. Or you can play according to the primary colors.

I also made a mobile using the family card and some straws that lopped yarn. I will make a video on this to play on social media.

Take a look on how to use the Family Unit BINGO!

Family Unit printable gameboard. The rocks are the game pieces. Students can glue a picture of themselves or any family member. Play the game just by saying the word of the family member they land in.

This is how big the game can be. If you need a bigger one, let me know.

Family Unit Printable Puzzle!

Family Unit Domino! Students love this game no matter the age. Games like these have been forgotten in favor of technology, but good old games are easy to pull off.

Teachers have loved the cup game as I named it. This is a game I saw on Pinterest and adapted to the unit. Just print, assemble and play the Family Unit Cup Game.
