Lesson 3
Kindergarten - Grade 3
• Nod and Clap
Basic Listening
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard. Point to one
of the illustra tions and say its name. The students should nod their
heads to indicate that you said the correct vocabulary word for the
illustration. However, when you point to an illustration and say an
incorrect name for it, the students should clap their hands ONCE.
Repeat this process until all of the vocabulary illustrations have
been used a number of times in this way.
• Flashlight Find
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the walls, chalkboard, win -
dows, etc. Have a student stand in the center of the classroom with
a flashlight. Say one of the vocabulary words and the student must
find the illustration for the vo cabulary word you said using the light
of the flashlight. This activity may also be conducted in team form.
In this case, have two flashlights available. Have a player from
each team stand in the center of the classroom. When you say the
vocabulary word, each player must attempt to find the correct
illustra tion with the light of his/her flashlight. The first player to correctly
identify the il lustration for the vocabulary word you said wins
the round. Repeat until all players have played.
• Turn and Face
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the walls and chalkboard.
Group the stu dents together in the center of the classroom. Say
one of the vo cabulary words and the students should turn to face
the illustration for the word you said. Depending upon the size of
your class, this ac tivity may be done in small groups. This activity
may also be done in team form. In this case, have a player from
each team stand in the center of the classroom. When a player
faces the wrong di rection (i.e., the wrong il lustration), he/she is
"out" until a later round of the ac tivity. Repeat until all players have
had an opportunity to participate.
• Flick
Give a student a flashlight. Say a vocabulary word. Tell the student
to listen for that word. Say a number of words, eventually repeating
the vocabulary word you said at the beginning of the round. The
student should "flick" on his/her flashlight when he/she hears the
vocabulary word. You may wish to in sert the vocabulary word in a
running story. This activity may also be done in team form. In this
case, provide the first player in each team with a flashlight. The first
player to turn his/her flash light on at the correct time wins the
round. Repeat until all players have played.

should say the vocabulary word for the action you perform. Repeat,
using a different ac tion for each vocabulary word.
• Out of Order
Stand the vocabulary illustrations in the chalkboard ledge. The students
should look carefully at the sequence of illustrations. Then,
have the stu dents close their eyes. Switch the order of two of the
illustrations. The stu dents should then open their eyes and identify
(orally) the two illustrations which were re-arranged. This activity
may also be done in team form.
