Small Cards for the Circus Unit. They can also be used for vocabulary presentation.

Here are some great ideas for your lesson planning!

I love that the mini flashcards can be hold in the student’s little hands making them useful for a wider range of activities. Keep the use of the small cards dynamic and playful to produce language even when teaching online.

Display the Circus Unit small cards on a table. The students either take or leave the card if they can identify the card.
Student: train!
Teacher: Great! Take the train card.
Ask questions about people using Who?
Who is this?
Studnets: The clown!

Plan on an entertaining activity for your preschool students. Glue each small card onto a ribbon. Place the long ribbon of small cards into a hat. Start pulling the ribbon as students will name each one coming out just as the magicians do.

Student: hat! zebras! Clown!

I found this game called The Tower Game. It's a vocabulary game for kids.Stuents will develop the ability to effectively listen to the words said and speak as they name the word on the card.

I grabbed some small cups that I had left over from a party but you can use recycled yogurt cups. Students will name a small card and place on a cup and so on until it falls and then start it again. It will be another balancing act for the circus unit.

More tips on playing the tower game.

Sort the small cards by color helps with visual perception and memorization skills. Students are always naturally engaged in this kind of activity.
