What will my students learn?

This is a fast-paced game that really helps children develop their pattern awareness (and in this set, number recognition). You can help children build important social and team work skills, especially if you encourage them to help each other out with unknown vocabulary.

In the standard way of playing the game, the player who ‘spots’ a match, has to say the item that matches. With English learners they can say the word in their 1st language or point to the item, BUT they have to ask their classmates or teacher for the English before they can ‘win’ the card. With older or higher level learners, you can make it a rule so that they win points every time they use the English word on their first try.

Vocabulary

Animals: moose, crab, ladybird, whale, horse, duck, snake, frog, parrot, tiger, owl, fish,   monkey, dog, dolphin, spider, hen/chicken, butterfly, elephant, mouse

Numbers: 1 to 20

Colours: (cats): pink, purple, green, yellow, red, blue, orange, black, white, brown

Patterns: (optional): stripes, dots, checks, zigzags, flowers, jigsaws, squiggles, hearts, scallops

What do teachers say about the resources?

Wow! I used this resource for one of my labs and it has been explosive. Children were super excited and of course, I was as well! Nothing to complain about! Great work!

I have recently started to use storytelling in my classes and ESL labs. Fiona’s resources are a real treasure. Lots of useful tips and ready-to-use material to bring the story to life and help kids use the language. Excellent, couldn’t ask for more.

The resources were great and saved me so much time, the teaching tips gave me ideas. We had a lot of fun with it : the kids loved the activities, learnt the animals and movements and understood the story. And I feel like there is so much more I could have done. Thank you !

I found this resources few weeks ago and now I’m always have a look first on this web. The range of activities are awesome!

I love the resources and the kids seemed to enjoy too. I had a hard time today with a mixed-age group (from 6 to 14!), but the abundance of differentiated activities Fiona offers made it much easier for me to make the time spent together meaningful.

Most importantly, my students really enjoyed the process of making their own mini book. It also served as an assessment, as I was able to see clearly which students were having issues with reading and matching – but it didn’t feel like an exam or test for the students at all. I only wish I’d found this at the beginning of the academic year.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, of course! Maybe you have the time and enjoy creating things, but it has to be said that being a young learner teacher can involve a HUGE amount of extra work making materials. Give yourself a break!

All my materials have been tried and tested in the classroom. As well as having almost 20 years of teaching experience, I am also a qualified trainer for the Trinity TYLEC (Teaching Young Learners Extension Certificate), so you can rely on the quality.

This resource doesn’t include a full lesson plan, but it includes instructions for five games and guidance on how to prepare the game cards. You can find links to storytelling videos and other songs and resources on the One Moose, Twenty Mice Story Resource Page.

Yes, of course, although your young learners will be much more engaged playing with this, AND they’re likely to learn much more too!
