This part of the Beach Unit focuses on the wrap-up stage of the lesson, where students review vocabulary through a combination of reading and hands-on creativity. By using a printable book and a craft activity, young English Language Learners can reinforce beach vocabulary while developing speaking and comprehension skills in a fun and meaningful way.

Beach Unit Books.

Students can identify the clothes the pigs are wearing at the beach. Just print the book, assemble and read to your students. Have the cutouts ready and a flannel board ready. I added Velcro piece behind each pig and the beach items. Students will add the pig cutouts as you name them. They can also retell the story. I made my flannel board using a floor cleaning cloth. Students can start recognizing words and grammar points. Have them look through the book individually.

Beach Unit Craft

I know, you just think about the mess you will have at the end of the activity, but let's stimulate creativity. But, students will be actually listening to your directions, and using their imagination and creativity to complete their picture. Students will color, cut and glue the pieces of the beach scene. I used a foam try from the supermarket.

Beach Unit Domino will help the students learn the new vocabulary. Watch as they will play so concentrated and understand the simple instructions that you gave for playing the game.

You might have seen the parking lot domino activity. Here is my idea on how to do it. There is a domino template which I used to draw all the domino parking lot. Then, I used the images templates to cut and glue to complete the parking space. Then, students just have to find the parking lot for each domino tile and say where they are parking the tile.

Beach Unit Bingo 

Students will identify the beach items and find the match on their worksheet template. Insist with your students that only 6 colors are playing as in the teacher’s calling cards. They have to color each item in those 6 colors. This kind of bingo can be used for picture-telling. They will have to use their vision to see what they are listening to and usually they will speak about it, if they have or not.

Beach Unit game board

When you play this kind of game in a classroom, it will be maybe one of the very few times your students will have the opportunity to play.

Beach Unit Half Card Game.

 This is a matching game for improving the student’s thinking skills. It can be played as a whole class activity as they walk around the classroom finding a person to complete the card.

Beach Unit Numbers 1 to 10 Matching games 

They help with visual discrimination as students start counting 1 to 10.  Students get to show their knowledge of the numbers 1 to 10.

Students will match the number, the number word and quantity crabs on the sand picture.

Beach Unit Pocket Chart.

You can use as portable word display that you can take to every class if you switch classes.

Beach Emotions or Feelings Pattern Cards. 

Identifying patterns is an essential skill to review within the unit.Placing the cards in a sequence from left to right prepares them for later reading in the same direction.

 

The beach Worksheets play an essential role in helping students move from recognition to independent practice.

 The Beach scene helps students see all the vocabulary words in a context with the cutouts. Students will be able to identify and describe  each beach colorful object and also where the objects are using prepositions. 

Teacher: What is this?
Students: It's a tree.

Create a Beach Scene.

 I wrapped the Styrofoam with brown and blue construction paper to make it look like sand and water. This is the first part where I placed all the beach vocabulary items that can be found at the beach. This is a fun tool to reinforce the new ESL words.

Ask questions: How many crabs are there?
Students: two!

Review other units.

Teacher: How's the weather?

Students: It's sunny.

Ask questions using prepositions.

Teacher: Where is the umbrella?

Students: It's on the sand.

Basic Questions Practice

Then, I had the next part where I added all the children. Ask questions to describe ongoing actions: What is he doing?

Students: He is building a sandcastle!

Ask about the clothes and have the students describe the location. 

Teacher: What is the girl wearing?
Students: a swimsuit!

Teacher: Where is the sunhat?
Students: It's next to the sun block.

Shark Game 

I am sure that it will capture your students' attention. Print the sharks and cut along the lines. Put the vocabulary cutouts that you want your students to identify in a recycled kleenex box along the sharks. tell the students that they win a point if they cna name the cutout and if they get teh shark comes they lose the game. The idea is to avoid to get the shark.

Check out the video on how to play the game.

Feed Me Game (Communication)

This is a great communication skills game. Cut along the dotted lines and glue onto a box, I used a juice box this time.Show the beach items cututs one at a time and ask: What is this?

Students: sun block!

Teacher: Feed the sun block to the sandcastle!

Another activity to use with the feed me boxes. Print the bucket and glue it onto a paper lunch bag. Print the shells template as many as you need for the students to count. Use the numbers from the Beach Number game. (https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2022/09/beach-unit-games-for-kindergarten-esl.html) Students should be able to count the shells to feed the bucket.

Student:one, two. Two shells.

Make any of the shapes sunglasses using chenille and cellophane paper.Do you want to make yours ? Just email me: ei98srl@gmail.com
