I have been playing Bingo with my students for ages. I wrote about ways we use Bingo cards in my older posts Bingo with Shapes and Bingo Numbers to 100. We love to play Bingo at home as well. Since I have four and six year old kiddos, we have been playing bingo entirely in a traditional way so far. I didn't even think about what and how could we use this game in other ways. I thought that it is far more than enough for my preschoolers to describe shapes and master the three languages they are speaking. We simply hand out one Bingo card to everyone. The caller pulls out one image, describes it and shows it to the others. The participants place something (pebbles, coins, beans) on the called image if it is on their cards. The aim of this game is to be the first player who marks all the images on your card to get BINGO. Such a great thing happened today. My kiddos made up two new ways to play with bingo cards. It happened so naturally, while they wer

2D Shapes Flip Book
I love flip books because they make learning fun! My students enjoy creating them, but also love to read them over and over again. The best of all, there is no use of costly colored ink. Just print the black&white pages and you are ready to go! Kiddos begin by the cutting out the pages...anything that involves cutting is fun, isn't it? Color, read, trace and write each shape... Cut out the letters... Paste the correct letter into each box... And voila students are ready to staple their flip books. Included in this resource: triangle, rectangle, square, circle, star, heart, crescent, oval, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, rhombus, trapezoid. Need other flip books? Check out my Flip Books Post.

ESL Grammar with Fruits
Making kids love grammar is a challenge to most teachers. I love when we can work on needed vocabulary but incorporate a bit of grammar twist to them. I was having trouble finding worksheets for revising I like/I don't like expressions with my students. So, I created a packet loaded with resources that make grammar fun. These pages involves reading, writing, making flip books, cutting and coloring. Learning outcomes, that I had in my mind creating these worksheets are: - identify food items; - produce questions and statements about food preferences and - read and understand short story texts. Grammar Practice: I like - I don't like - packet includes the following: About Me - Students write about their preferences... ...then about David and Emma Flip Books - The kids are learning to use the expressions I like/ I don't like, practicing fruit vocabulary but they're also cutting, coloring, and having fun! The flip books included here
