Counting Halloween Cats in the Haunted House

 This resource is included in the Pets Unit for Kindergarten ESL at this LINK https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pets-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-16-6837926

esl for kindergarten

This Halloween-themed resource focuses on counting 1 to 10 cats in a Haunted House. It allows students to practice numbers in a new contextual setting. It introduces Halloween vocabulary such as "cats," and "haunted house".

Have the students count the cats in each Haunted House flashcard as a way to help develop foundational math skills. Finding and counting the cats in the haunted house setting encourages observation finding the cats.

Halloween cats Flashcards

There are flashcards with images of cats in a haunted house and the numeral on a tombstone to visually associate the numbers. Use a pointer to count the cats in the house: How many cats are there?

Students: one, two, three, four, five, six! Six cats.

Have the students trace the numeral on each tombstone.

The small cards work for repetition of the Halloween-related words like "cat" and "haunted house" during the activity. Students will match the cats in each house to the numeral.  Start a speaking activity to verbally count the cats.

Students can work at their own pace ordering the numbers on the small cards to practice number sequencing skills.

The frog at St. Patrick’s Day

 This resource is part of the resource Pets Unit for Kindergarten-Holistic English Series #16. Go to this link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pets-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-16-6837926


Generate cultural awareness between your students by showing this unique Holiday.

Start with the flashcards using the frog, which they know from this unit but dressed up with the holiday outfits and has the items used of the celebration. The flashcards are versatile and brings a flexibility for their use. Use them for the students to play individually or in small groups. Adapt to the learning preference of your students present in your class.

If the students are using the flashcards individually place them in a clear plastic sheet and give them dry erase markers to write the word and trace the image.

St. Patrick’s Day

Use the flashcards on the board. Place the frog in the middle of the board and create a mind map by having your students helping you. Ask questions and write the word next to the body or face part.

What is this?
Students: eye!

preschool pets activities with flashcards

Do sorting with all the flashcards. Introduce the activity and have them finish the sorting process.

Teacher: look at the frog! What is he wearing?
Students: hat, shoes!
Teacher: He’s wearing a green hat and green shoes/boots.

A simple game! Stick the flashcards around the classroom. Hand in a clover card to each student. Instruct them to go to a flashcard and place the clover on it. Teacher: Go to the frog that has a green hat and green shoes!

Do some practice and review with this set of  ST. Patrick's worksheets. Build math competence as the ability to to use numbers.

Integrate multiple language skills: listening and speaking, allowing your students to practice the numbers 1 to 10 in a Holiday context.

First, have the students draw the coins in each pot using a yellow marker. Then, dictate the color of each number: Color number three green!

Finally, students will color the coins with the number word and cut them. Paste where it belongs. Ask questions: What color is pot number 9?

Students: orange!

ST. Patrick's worksheets

Make a poster either individually or as in a group and use it for class decoration for the Holiday. Each student will color an item and them create the poster using their imagination.

It can be completing the assign work or to speak in English in class.   I made 8 pets cards. You can write on the card the name of the student and make a chart in class. You can also hand in the pet to the student in each class and have them collect the pets, as you say: Carlos, this is your pet for today because you did a good job in class today.
