ESL/EFL Preschool Teachers: Pets Unit Cutouts for Kindergarten ESL

This is the next part of the Pets unit Resource. CUTOUTS to teach Preschool and Kindergarten English Language Learners in the classroom! LINK:https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pets-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-16-6837926

Pets Unit Cutouts. Use them for review, they are small for the student’s little hands or for online as well. These cutouts help with the linguistic competence of communicating verbally in English.

Place the cutouts on the board or a table. Ask the students what they want? Each student will come to the front grab a cutout and say the sentence that you have modeled.
Teacher: I want a dog (grab a dog and hug it)
Student: I want a fish. (grabs the fish)

Pets Cutouts and shapes set. Students will associate the pets to their homes. Teacher: Where are the dogs?

Students: They are in the house.

There are several sets, but I made only two examples.
This is the bird one. I used the cage to add a little crafting as it is to glue yarn on the cage. There are the colored birds and the black/white ones for you to choose from. Name the bird that students have to put inside the cage. There are three options to do it.
Teacher: Put the yellow bird in the cage. Or, Put the big yellow bird in the cage. Or, put the big, circle, yellow bird in the cage.
You can also put the birds in the cage and have the students point to them.
Teacher: show me the big triangle bird.

Give instructions to the students:

The other example is with the fish aquarium. The same goes with these cutouts.

Students can use this grammar structure: Look! This is my triangle fish.

Pets Unit Finger Puppets are not frequently used in the English Language classroom. Some teachers don’t know much how to use them or don’t have the time to make them. The puppets can impulse speaking. I glued the pets onto a wash glove. It’s fast and easy to make. There will be a video on the blog post to see the puppets in action.

I recycled old CDs and glued a pet cutout onto each one besides adding a craft stick. Small enough for online.

I used them for speaking! Take a listen.

I also recycle French fries containers for sorting. This is the BIG and small sorting of the pets. My example is with rabbits and birds. Use them all or just a few sets. I added fun foam letters and foil letter to each container.

And here is the sorting into shapes.

Organize the cutouts into Mommy and baby for each pet. Students will make sentences to relate the mother with the baby pet: The rabbit is next to the bunny.
