Click on the Link to the resource for EFL Teachers:      https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Farm-Animals-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-25-7973567

  

Farm Animals Cutouts work for identifying and describing the animals.  I love making a 3D Farm scene using the cutouts. I also made a Garden one. The material is print ready.

First, I grabbed a polystyrene piece and covered it with green paper. Printed, cut and then, I glued the cutouts onto barbecue wood sticks and crafts sticks. Punch the mayor pieces onto the polystyrene leaving space for the animals. I taped an opened clip to each farm animal cutout to make them stand. Have your students grab and animal and place it on the scene as they name the animal.Use imperatives to give instructions.

Teacher: Put the duck in the pond.

Ask questions.
Teacher: Where's the horse?
Students: The horse is behind the fence.

Teacher: Where's the tractor?
Students: The tractor is in front of the barn.

Teacher: Where's the silo?
Students: The silo is between the barn and the hay.

A farm scene can also be created on a file folder. You can print the mommy and the baby of each farm animal and place them where they are most likely to be found. For example, the duck and ducklings are in the pond.
Students can also describe the scene.
This is a horse. This is a foal.
