Laminate the downloadable small cards and have them organized in a ziplock bag. Use the cards to build language between your students with fun activities.

Insects activity Roll the dice

  Place 12 small cards on the table. Add a masking tape with a number on each one. Hand in the dice to the students. They have to roll the dice and identify the insect on each card. There is a blank card which could be the roll again turn. If the student says it correctly, he/she can take the card, if not, they leave on the table. The winner is the one with most cards.

Teacher: What's number 6?
Students: It's a butterfly!

Take a look!

Insects Board Game

       Make a big game board using any set of small cards, it can be done on the floor or on a table by laying the cards in any kind of pattern that you want. I made an example using the numbers cards. The makers can be anything, I used mini erasers. Students take turns rolling the dice and naming the card they land on.Ask:

Teacher: What number is this bee?

Student: Number one!

Take a look!

Insects activity Grab your insect game

 Place the small cards on a table with a fun foam insect or toy insect.  Each student can get the insect if they can name what’s on the card. Here is my example. Students had to say the phrase: a yellow butterfly.

Teacher: Is it a blue butterfly?
Student: No, it isn't. 

take a look!

Play the classic fly swatter but place the small cards on a clothesline.

Teacher: What color is the ant?

Student: It's a black ant. My ant is black.

Take a look on how to use the small cards as a listening activity.

SPEAKING IS THE MAIN GOAL 

These activities are not just games. This is where vocabulary becomes usable language. Students are:
✔ Naming insects
✔ Describing them
✔ Answering questions
