Lesson 3
Kindergarten - Grade 3
• Turn and Face
Basic Listening
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.
• Illustration Hold-Up
Before the activity begins, prepare a stencil which contains small
versions of the vocabulary illustrations. Provide each student with
a copy of the stencil. The students should cut the illustrations from
their copies of the stencil. When the students' illustrations are cut
out, say a vocabulary word. Each student should then hold up the
il lustration for the vocabulary word that you said. Repeat this
process until all of the illustrations/vocabulary words have been
used in this way.
• Matching Halves
Cut each of the vocabulary illustrations in half. Mix all of the halves
together and distribute them to the students. Say a vocabu lary
word. The two stu dents who have the halves for the illustration that
goes with the vocabulary word you said, should show their halves.
You may have the students ex change illustration halves pe -
riodically during this activity.
• Stare
Have two students stand, facing one another. Mount the vocabu lary
illustra tions on the chalkboard and number them. The object of the
activity is for the two students to look at each other without laughing.
The first student to laugh must then identify a vocabulary illustration
by a number from the chalkboard. If both students laugh,
then both stu dents must identify a vocabulary illustration or illustrations
for the numbers you say from the chalkboard. Re peat with
other pairs of students.

• Roll 'Em Again Sam
Provide each student with two flashcards. Each student should
then write a number between 1 and 6 on each of his/her cards - one
num ber per card. When the students' number cards are ready, toss
two dice. Call the two numbers showing on the dice. Any student or
stu dents who have those two numbers on their number cards must
then find a vocabulary illustration you name (you may wish to have
the vocabulary illustrations mounted on the chalk board and numbered,
for easy identification). The students may change number
cards after each round of the activity.
