EFL ESL ENGLISH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER ENGLISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES ACTIVITIES

This resource consists of non-editable files in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.

lively & communicative whole-group language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing a range of fruits and vegetables in English, ideal for advanced beginner English and intermediate English students. The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too. I point out particular phonemes and sounds, such as the soft c in lettuce compared to the hard c in carrot, and the addition of n to a when preceding a noun starting with a vowel, such as an aubergine or an orange for example. The aim of the game is to create an English sentence chain as quickly as possible.

There are 28 fruits featured in the game: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon

and 28 vegetables: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini

There is implicit input on grammatical concepts such as the lack of adjectival agreement and gender, and position of adjectives, which are often entirely new concepts for many ESL/EFL learners. Nouns feature definite, indefinite and partitive articles too. This is a very successful way of really getting the most of what looks like a straightforward game for consolidating the target vocabulary - it is actually so much more!

The question card template provides an additional learning activity, with students applying their developing English language knowledge creatively and practically, as they make game cards for the class - this is a really popular activity with my students. I’d definitely recommend you laminate the cards, despite the extra prep and expense. They’re far more learner-friendly, and they will last for absolutely years.

THANKS AND ENJOY THE GAME!

**ESL EFL ENGLISH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER ENGLISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES ACTIVITIES GAMES 3 GAMES @ $3.25 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***All products consist of non-editable files in zipped formats. They are copyright, all rights reserved. They may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way.

Who has... ?*** is a lively & communicative whole-group language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing target vocabulary in ***English***. The game has a ***multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading***, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s ***perfect for pronunciation practice*** too. I point out ***particular phonemes and sounds, such as the soft c in lettuce compared to the hard c in carrot, and the addition of n to a when preceding a noun starting with a vowel, such as an aubergine or an orange*** for example. The aim of the game is to create an ***English*** sentence chain as quickly as possible, starting with the ***first card***, and ending with the final card, the ***last card***. The game works well if the sentence sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for young beginner learners of English, but it definitely also works well with older and adult learners too. The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font - this is really important for beginner language learners who are familiar with the written word, and ***starting to link spelling with sound***. Try to print in colour if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning. ***There are 29 fruits featured across the 3 games***: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; gooseberries; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon ***and 28 vegetables***: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini All the fruits and vegetables may not be in my longer-term learning plan, but the learning objective moves beyond simply learning individual units of vocab - the images help students ***infer meaning from context***, supported by the visual prompts and clues - this in turn supports them in developing their ***English language skills*** in the longer and more complex sentences. There is***implicit input on grammatical concepts*** such as the***lack of adjectival agreement and gender***, and ***position of adjectives***, which are often entirely new concepts for many ESL/EFL learners.
