This blog post will be dedicated to the printable Cutouts that come in the resource for creating games and activities for this specific vacation place. They all show dotted lines for easy cutting.

ESL Beach vocabulary cutouts. The Beach scene helps students see all the vocabulary words in a context. 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.

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 items that can be found at the beach.

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.

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.

A game that I adapted and named it the Shark Game. I am sure that it will capture your students' attention. Print the sharks and cut along the lines. Put the 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 boxes are great for many activities using the beach cutouts.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
