Have you spent the last 2 weeks teaching the difference between CARRY and WEAR? If your answer is Yes, this new post is for you!
This is an activity I designed for my 6-year-old learners a couple of years ago.
It's composed by several tiles, on each one the students had something to do to complete it. On one half they had to write the name of the article of clothing / accessory I had drawn, in the second half they had to draw the garments I had previously written.
In those days my class was composed of 15 students, so I prepared, more or less, 3 tiles for each one to complete.
I had also prepared 'Wild Tiles', the green ones you can see in the pictures, to keep the game going in case of some missing word/drawing.
Once they (had) completed the tiles we started to play in teams of 3 pupils each. When they were putting down their tile, they had to say: "I'm wearing / carrying … " the object they were placing. Of course the rest of the kids had to check if he was right or not.
If you don't have time to make it by yourself, you can find the photocopiable PDF of the same game plus a suitable version for children who cannot write by themselves yet (4-5-6 years old) on this link:
Two different sets of free downloadable Wear or Carry Tiles
Enjoy it!
I design series of activities based on a communicative method that will help children to practice the grammar they're learning at school.
Many ESL activities, I see, are nothing more than 'fill in the blank' exercises that only teach kids how to fill in blanks and miss the whole point of learning to speak and understand a new language.
It's much easier and more fun to learn by doing, and you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll see valuable results.
