Alphabet Stuff:

The Alphabet Pairing Activity

When I first saw these flashcards I didn't really think to much of them. They had a kind of funky circus like feel to them. But they fit the criteria perfectly for this activity.

I just laminated them, sliced them all in half in the chopper machine in the teacher's room and I was ready to go.

In use, actually, many letters were almost a close fit with some other letters.

This really confused some of the kids and made the game a lot more challenging.

You can find them here at Jane Buckley's famous A to Z Phonics site:

Alphabet Printables for the lesson pairing activity. at www.atozphonics.com

Look for the Printables menu link on the left then go there and scroll down to the topics menu for Alphabet Printables. Click that and look for the big blue A... beside ...

"Large A4 Printable Alphabet in colour or black and white."

This site has a lot to offer so it is well worth a much deeper look. Good job Jane!

Hope this helps...

Numbers 1-10, 20-100 and a little more...

These were taken from the Book 1 Archives but they work just as well for Book 2:

Here are some really plain 1-100 number flashcards. It's a real drag having to prepare these so I hope you find them useful. Also, I've used these to fix the kids' -teen vs. -ty accents and held them up behind the HRT so the kids could say them in English while the HRT could thereafter translate their numbers into English. If the HRT makes a mistake, the kids will of course try to blame the HRT. You should turn that around and tell the kids it is their reseposibility to speak clearly enough for any listener to understand. The HRT might miss this point as well if you don't explain this beforehand. So, mix up these cards: 13, 30, 14, 40, 15, 50, 16, 60, 17, 70, 18, 80, 19, 90. Have the HRT sit on a chair in front of you and post a random card on the blackboard. Tell the kids, "sei-no!" and the kids can have a little accent quiz as the HRT tries to figure out their accent and translate it. Pick-up on those students who are dragging their accents too long on the -ty or those kids that are playing a little joke on the HRT. Moreover, you can show the accent as 13 as oO , and 30 as Oo. The -teen accent goes up, and the -ty accent goes down. Good luck!

Calendar: The Twelve Months (12 months) and a little more...

I had basically prepared three sets of flashcards just for the "Joining Game" activity in this first lesson of Unit 3.

One set has the pictures and month's name.

These are basically for showing the kids AFTER the quiz. You can show them before the quiz, although it will make the quiz very easy. You can show them after, although that will make the quiz a little difficult without the proper review of "I can".

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Or you can just show them next week, as a warm-up, to see if the kids can remember the unit's target language.
