What is it? It's a.... Lesson

(TESOL Materials--English World 1, What is it?)

Google: slides, pub

Cards: docs, pub

[This a slideshow that uses images and video from English World 1 to practice the grammar structure "What is it?" "It's a...?".  The slideshow also includes links to materials previously published on this blog here, here, here and here.  The cards can be used for students to color with a color of their choice, and then use in a class mingle where they ask and answer, e.g. "What is it?" "It's a pink ball" ]

* What is it?  It's a (color) (noun) Flippity Matching Game

This is a memory game on Flippity Matching Game for practicing "What is it?  It's a (color) (noun)."

The Google sheets links are here: docs, pub--and the playing link is here.

The game makes use of images that are linked to from around the web, so hopefully the links will stay up, so the game will keep working.  (Maybe test this game out before you use it in the classroom, especially if you're finding this a few years from the date of posting.)

When students turn over a card, the teacher asks "What is it?" Students have to be able to say the color and animal in order to get a chance to find the matching card.

All but one of the pictures is to an animal.  (There's one picture of a cactus, everything else is an animal.)  So this activity could also be used to practice animal vocabulary.

* Wordwall: J1A - Unit 1 p.26

This is a Wordwall game designed by a former colleague of mine.  It was made to practice "What is it? It's a..." as well as "Is it a...?"  It was made to supplement English World 1, but I have also used them independently of the textbook, so I'm posting them here as well.

* baamboozle: Writing J1A Unit 1

* baamboozle: Colors and Toys

These are two baamboozle games that practice the language "What is it? It's a..."  I made them to supplement English World 1, but I have also used them independently of the textbook, so I'm posting them here as well.
