This is  the last part, Furniture in the house or Room Objects, that include this vocabulary:bed, toilet,fridge, lamp,shower,sofa among others.Find a quantity of resources to work during this part of the unit.

Just a few visual and kinesthetic activities for your students for this unit. They should be able to identify and name the furniture in the house.

Students will practice the prepositions along the house unit.Place the furniture flashcards on one side of the board and the rooms of the house flashcards on another. Name a piece of furniture and have the students say where it belongs. Trace a line. Continue with the rest.

Teacher: stove!

Students: kitchen!

Teacher: The stove goes in the kitchen.

Asking questions for information.Place several house furniture flashcards on the board ledge and the rooms of the house on the board. Have the students grab a furniture flashcard and put it next or on top of the room flashcard and say a sentence:

It's a bed. Where does the bed go?

Students: It goes in the bedroom.

 

Place the rooms of the house flashcards around the classroom.  Hand in the furniture flashcards to the students. Have them go the room of the house with the flashcard that belongs to that room and stand there.

Clothes on or in the furniture. Place a clothing item flashcard on a furniture flashcard.

Teacher: The T-shirt is on the sofa.

The hat is on the table.

House Unit Cutouts are great for getting students attention. Many games can be played with them.

Use the flashcards along with the cutouts.

Teacher: Where is Mommy?

Students: on the sofa.

Teacher:  Mommy is sitting on the sofa.

Use the cutouts to match each object or furniture to the one inside of the room flashcard. This is the bathroom example.

As a speaking activity!

Make puppets!

This is a set of furniture flashcards with facial features, kind of fun. 

Teacher: What is this?

Students: It's a lamp!

Teacher: What color is the lamp?

Students: It's green!

Teacher: Does it have eyes??

Students: Yes!

Teacher: Show me eyes! Show me the mouth!

What's missing?

Students: nose! ears! hair!

 Place the cute furniture and face flashcards inside a clear plastic sheet. Have the students color the parts of the face that they can see and add the missing parts, such as ears, hair.

The same can be done using the worksheet. Here is my example with a chair. Students can add all the facial features they can imagine.

These teddy bears are so cute. I made these flashcards to review numbers. Place them on the board in random order. Have your stduents come up and write the quantity of teddy bears in bed next to the flashcards. Ask questions: How many teddy bears are there?

Students: one, two, three, four, five! Five teddy bears.

There is a Number 1 to 10 matching game with the same teddy bears!

And a worksheet with the same bears. Dictate what to color.

Teacher: There is one bear. Color it blue!

Students will cut each bed. Have them make a numerical sequence on a long piece of paper.

House Unit Games. Review the vocabulary through play.

I made a matching game or a puzzle to help with the vocabulary.

 If the students can’t read, you will read the house word and they will find the roof that has the corresponding picture.

Improve the students’ creativeness and social interaction by playing board games along extra practice with the vocabulary. Students can say a sentence when they land on a furniture item. I can see a sink.

A video:

Critical thinking skills are in use with these half cards. They can be played as matching cards on a desk. Playing with these cards will help with fine motor skills all along. They can say what furniture piece they put together using the verb to be.

Students: This is the toilet.

Furniture Domino can improve the retention of vocabulary and pronunciation as we prepare students to read.

House Unit Bingo is for having fun and it can be used as a teaching tool. Use the game to help with the vocabulary. The game can be played at home with the student’s parents. Hand in the student’s template as they color the amount of items that you want to play with. On my example, I colored only six items that I wished. As the teacher calls the items, students will cross them out. The student that crosses all the colored items first wins.

Furniture in the house Book. Give the students the writing practice they need. I always include sight words.Children will listen and repeat chorally the sentences as they look at the pictures when you read the book. 

Take a look!

House Unit Reward your students with a pencil flag as a way to let them know that you recognize and like their effort during the unit. Print and cut the template, glue around the pencil.

Take a look!

Students can make their own reward flag for the house unit . You can color the rewards for reducing the color printable expense.

My Cardigan as usual! Make a fun impression to a friendly classroom learning.
