Where do you buy dog food?
To practise shop/store name vocabulary. Useful as a pre-role play activity for 'shopping'.

What job?
To practise both occupation vocabulary and also verbs associated with work such as 'sell', 'fly' and 'teach'.

Routine Verb Wordsearch.
Students look for different routine verbs such as 'get up' and 'have breakfast' in a sea of jumbled letters. Improving and increasing student vocabulary means having them come across new words in many ways: in games, in listenings, while reading and so on. This page is in Word format.

 

 

Numbers, Letters and Words Grid.
A grid with number and letter axes and many level one vocabulary items written in the centre. I use as a whole class game (e.g. 'where is red?) to practise all of the vocabulary as well as the alphabet and numbers. This page is in Word format.

House Vocabulary Wordsearch.
Students look for vocabulary connected with the home. This page is in Word format.

Verbs and Rooms Vocabulary.
Simple vocabulary matching activity in which students put verbs together with their associated room in the house. Clearly there will be some leeway in the answers from different students and this can create healthy conversation in the feedback.

Students create sentences to describe their daily routines. Sentence structure and vocabulary practice.

Irregular Plurals.
Students have to put the plural form of some regular and irregular plural nouns.
