How to make kids recognize familiar words?


This game can be used in heterogeneous classes in elementary school, as well as in junior-high school for beginners or students with learning difficulties. Its aim is to make them recognize and memorize vocabulary and for learning prepositions, depending on the aim of your lesson.

Option 1.

 In this picture you can see a game that can be used for kids of different levels. Before they know how to match the pictures with the sentences, they should remember the words they have learned earlier. Thus, you can ask them what they see in each picture? e.g. "There is a table", "I see a pair of glasses".

Option 2.

If you revise prepositions, you can ask them to describe each picture with one sentence for instance, "There is a pair of glasses on the table", "The kids are under the tree". To make them speak more fluently, you can ask YES/NO Questions, e.g.

Are the glasses under the table?

No, they aren't (or just "No")

Are the glasses on the chair?

No, they aren't.

Are they on the table?

Yes, they are.


Option 3.

If you want kids to practice their reading and to recognize words, you can ask them to read the sentences and to look for the appropriate picture, as you can see in this video. Try not to use L1 until they do not understand you but if you do, tell the same words in English, so that they will repeat and memorize.



Option 4.

For more advanced kids, you can use this game as a memory one. So, they do not see any pictures or sentences and play it individually, in pairs or in small groups and connect pictures with semtences.
