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.
• Over and Under
Group the students into two teams. Mount the vocabulary illus -
trations on the chalkboard. Give the first player in each team a ball.
When you say, "Go," the first player in each team must pass the ball
to the next player, over his/her head. The next player must then
pass the ball to the third player, between his/her legs. The players
should con tinue with this over/under sequence until the last player
in a team receives the ball. When the last player receives the ball,
he/she must rush to the chalkboard and identify an illustration for a
vocabulary word that you say. The first player to do this successfully
wins the round. Repeat until all players in each team have had
a chance to respond in this way.
• 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.
