Have a race with the Easter cars flashcards! Yes, punch holes and make a necklace for each car flashcard. Give one to the students playing. The learner will be that racer in that car.

Then, have them race in the yard or class from one place to another. Place the winner flashcard and the 1^st,2^nd,3^rd place on the board. I put them on a plastic clear sheet to write the winner’s names on them and erase for more races to fit in the time limit.

Easter Cars Small Cards ready to print to add flexibility to your lesson plan. They can customize to suit your student’s learning needs. Play old simple memory game.

Cut the small vertically and you have a set of puzzles. The cards include a picture of the Easter characters in the cards to allow your students to discuss and describe them to put together the puzzle.

A few worksheets to complete the lesson. Students will engage in the review of key language, recalling words from the unit.

There is one for the 1^st,2^nd and 3^rd place as you did with the race in class. The others can be listen and color the Easter characters.

To wrap it up, here is a door hanger for Easter that your students can create and take home, but there is one that you can print for your classroom and set the mood for the Holiday. Craft activities are great for your students to engage in a conversation with peers and the teacher to create their art.

 This resource is part of Face Unit for Kindergarten-Holistic English Series #6 available at this link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Face-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-6-6057570

Teaching about Easter to your young students is a great opportunity to acquire new vocabulary related to this cute Holiday and use the face unit as a review. And it also works to expands the language skills and comprehension of a new Holiday. Language is culture.

There are 3 flashcards for the Easter unit: egg, rabbit, chick. Use these for interactive learning to encourage active participation. Place the flashcard on the board and start asking about the pats of the face on the egg: What’s are these?
Students: eyes!

Continue it the rest of the parts of the face. Use the pointer that you can make using the template and a wood rod.

And have the students notice that there are parts of the face that are missing: What is missing?

Students: hair!

Then, draw the hair. Continue with the rest.

Find several worksheets and do a listen and color: color the eyes orange! And have the students draw the missing part of the face.

and here is the egg!

You can use the face unit cutouts that come within the unit to show the students which part of face that they should color without having to translate: draw and color the hair brown.

St. Patrick’s Day and the Insects unit for Kindergarten ELL

 This resource is included in the Insects Unit for Kindergarten-Holistic English Series #18. Click here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Insects-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-18-6984205

St. Patrick's Day is a cultural celebration in many countries. Give your students the cultural awareness of this tradition and celebration. I like to include the Holiday into a unit that I am currently teaching or that I just taught and use it as a review.

Language is interactive, so start by showing the Insects in green flashcards in a not real context. They should be able to guess the name of all the insects even in their green coloring body.

Students can use the small cards for self-paced learning. They can practice the insects words in English with this simple activity. Place all the small cards on a table and a sticker or fun foam piece on each one. As the student reads or says each word they can lift and keep the sticker. Then, they will know which words they were able to say or read.

These two worksheets are for reviewing the insects and for you to identify any gap in the understanding of this topic. Students will color, cut and paste on the jar or on the clover. Then, they will show their work: This is my clover. It has a bee, a ladybug and a dragonfly.

Find several strips of picture and a word to trace. Students will follow the lines of each letter to complete the word as they will develop fine motor skills much needed at this age. This is an idea that you can implement. Gather old CDs case and place the strip under the plastic and use dry erase markers for tracing.

Print the St. Patrick's Day and Insects domino game and practice the listening skills as the students will listen to your instructions for playing the game and engage in small conversation between them.
