Halloween by Education.com

Once again I was contacted by the web site www.education.com. They wanted me to share some of their great worksheets and the endless possibilities for the ESL class.

Go to there website for tons of resources !

https://www.education.com/resources/halloween/

I chose the Halloween theme, that time of the year that ESL teachers are looking for suitable resources for their class.

 I liked these  resources and I gave them a twist to get the max out of them, not simply filling out a worksheet.

Worksheet 1.  This worksheet is great for reviewing the emotions or feelings vocabulary. Have the students color each pumpkin orange and have them notice that there is a bat, some stars and the moon and mention how to color them accordingly. Even adjectives such as fat, tall, big, snmall can be reviewed.

Teacher: Point to Pumpkin sad.  Is she fat or thin ?

Students: She is fat.

Teacher:  Is she big or small ?

Students: She is small.

Then , I made some labels for the pumpkins. If you want them, please write a request and I´ll send them for free.

Worksheet 2. I chose this one thinking about reviewing colors.

But once the worksheet is done, students can cut them in pieces to make a puzzle for a friend. They can paste it onto a poster board.

Worksheet 3.  This a haunted house and shapes review. I like that you can review the parts of the house and color the shapes found in the house. They can even add more shapes.

Board game. The site has this board game with all the pieces. I glued it onto a file folder.

I love mandalas so much, I thought it would be nice to put into an oval plastic plate and use as decoration. Practice Halloween words when you color with your class.

Teacher: Find the bats. Color them gray !

Continue with the others.

And this cute 3D, I couldn´t miss it. I had never done anything like it and it turn out cute!

“Spring into Language! 5 Garden-Themed ESL Activities for Kindergarten Learners”

Here are the flashcards perfect for teaching garden and nature vocabulary :

 Watch the video:

Worksheet 1. For coloring the flashcards I found leaf fun foam and glued it onto a yogurt bottle cap. I used it to make prints on the tree.

Dictate the color for each item:

Listening and coloring worksheets.  Cut out the cards and make a garden crown.

“What’s in My Garden?” worksheet. Have the students at each table count all the flowers, leaves, trees and water cans. They can sort the items by color or by item. I glued an item to little plastic cups.

Worksheet 2. Students color and build a flower.  I glued a bamboo cooking skewer on the back so it could stand up and tall. I used an empty egg carton to place the flower.  It would be a nice table decoration.

Worksheet 3. Children color the leaves as in fall or autumn. I used 5 colors. Then they have to glue all the leaves and count how many colored leaves  are in their trees.

Teacher: What are these ? 
Students: They are leaves.
Teacher: What color are the leaves ?
Students: They are green.
Teacher: How many green leaves are there ?
Students: one, two, three, four, five. Five !

Teacher: five green leaves.

Worksheet 4. Create a number line with the flowers on the egg carton.

Teacher: Look at flower Number 1. What color is it ?

Students: It´s red.

Teacher: It´s a red flower.

Students: It´s a red flower.

Tree book: use a picture book for every theme you teach. Students can recognize language patterns in my book.

I included an extra page for extending the story and creating another class book, as children look outside, drawing and creating their own tree. Collect all the drawing, bind them and make a class book.

Tree class decoration: this time I created bigger tree as classroom decoration for the walls or the door. Students can decorate their own tree and display their art work. 

Tree counting : this game is for  giving the English Language learner the opportunity to use math vocabulary because math reasoning is linked to language production. The file has different kind of trees, I made mine out of fun foam and used flower punch out, bottle taps, fun foam pieces and mini erasers to simulate flowers for the trees.

Lacing: another lacing item made out of fun foam, using the same pattern. It can help  build  small motor skills.

Patterns: patterns should be encourage in the English class. Provide moments  to practice them that  will  also enhance language. This is from a series book that I was using. If you want the file, please write to me ( ei98srl@gmail.com)

This is a big tree, small tree pattern.

I made these out of fun foam.

These are made out of toilet paper roll and a kitchen paper rolls to make them big and small. I cut a small slit on the paper roll to insert the tree top.

There is a Garden Unit BUNDLE resource here:
