Pre-Lesson 1

FUN FACT: This page has no fact submitted yet. Send us one! (Make sure to include a link to this page in your email.)

 

NOTE: This area was created to house activities that are before the first lesson/unit in the textbooks. 

 

                     

ABC Dominoes: A simple ABC game where students match upper/lowercase domino letters.

 

Alphabet Mistakes: Guess what letters are not correct and fix them.

 

Alphativities: This pre-lesson activity actually includes three alphabet activities: fill-in-the-blank worksheet, alphabet bingo and a writing practice.

Ghost Leg: "Ghost Leg" means amida kuji in Japanese. However, the roots come from China. The Chinese use it as a method of lottery designed to create random pairings between two sets of things. While pachinko remains Japan's pasttime, gambling isn't encouraged in the English classroom, so I've turned this game into a bingo-type activity for students to practice writing upper/lowercase alphabet letters.

R & R: R & R stands for Read & Race. Students work together in groups to gather the sentences around the room.
