Lesson 3
Kindergarten - Grade 3
• Flashlight Find
Basic Listening
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.
• Locomotive
Have the students stand in a straight line in the center of the room.
Each student should place his hands on the shoulders of the student
in front of him/her. Mount an illustration on each of the four
walls in the classroom. Tell the students that when they hear one of
the four vocabulary words (for the four illustrations on the walls),
they should step in that direction - while still holding onto the shoulders
of the players in front of them. Say the four words a number of
times; the students should step towards the illustrations as they are
named.
• Stretch
Place the vocabulary illustrations on the floor, in a scattered form.
The il lustrations should be quite close together. Have a stu dent
stand beside the illustrations. Say a vocabulary word for one of the
illustrations. The student should place his/her left foot on that illus -
tration. Then, say other vocabulary words and the student must
identify the correct illustrations with different parts of his/her body.
You may wish to have two students partici pate in this pro cess at the
same time for added motivation.

• Actions!
Basic Speaking
Group the students together in front of you. Perform an action
which represents one of the key vocabulary words. The students
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.
