Speaking / writing question cards for Thanksgiving - How do you..?

This set of intermediate ESL conversation prompt cards will have your students talking to each other in English. Of course, they can also be used with native speakers to spark lively conversations or as journal prompts about Thanksgiving. Each and every card is unique and makes your students think about how to do things in detail in English. Some are more advanced than others. Just print them, cut them out, and then sort them into stacks of different levels of difficulty for years and years of no-prep activities. The cards are in English only.

This resource is included in my Thanksgiving bundle.

This activity is perfect for small groups or as a whole class activity. Use these cards as a review and vocabulary builder An easy to project PDF with only one card per page is included in case you want to work on the questions as a class without printing and cutting out the cards. Encourage your students to give a thorough complete answer and use the question as a basis for discussion. If the question is "How do you build a snowman", there should be a discussion, not a one line answer "with snow.." These questions are great for essay writing as well!

ex: " I love building snowmen! In fact, I wish it would snow more, so I could make one more often! When it snows a lot, at least two inches or more, I put on my winter clothes and my gloves and head to the park. There I start by...." and so on. It's a really fun activity.

➤ Just click here to follow my store!

Included:

30 question cards

Easy to project PDF file (one card per page)

There are many ways you can use this set of cards:

➤ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.

➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity or ice breaker with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.

➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out their answers including reasons for their preferences.

➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.

➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.

➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.

➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions.

➤ You can also use it as a writing exercise!

Thanksgiving Scattergories Games

These are really fun games to play before and after Thanksgiving with your students as they practice and build their vocabulary. Scattergories is the perfect classroom group game! You can play this game with students of any age or level. Fun for any classroom and perfect for kids learning English - ESL.

Players attempt to create answers for each of the four categories on their game. This should be a fast moving game and there are only spaces for six words per category. The MAXIMUM they can write is six words so they have to choose them wisely. Students can be creative and flexible with their answers, but other players can challenge them!

6 games are included with 4 different categories on each page. You can either print out the game sheets or project them to save paper and ink. For younger students you can allow more time for them to think and write, while older students will love the challenge of the timer.

How to play (written on each game sheet): Come up with as many words as you can that are related to the one at the top of each row. Once the timer goes off, you just count and compare how many words you got for each category with the other players. If they came up with the same word as you, that word doesn't count toward your score. Whoever has the most words per list wins that round.
