What will my ESL young learners learn?
These clothes sorting sheets will give your learners a fun, visual way to consolidate clothes vocabulary. Limit the vocabulary to only include the clothes the giant wears in the story, or challenge your group to sort all the clothes in the story.
Apart from the clothes vocabulary, you can follow the activity suggestions for simple ways to help your young learners acquire useful grammar too.
Depending on which activity procedures you choose, the children will practise their listening, speaking and categorising skills. You could even add in some writing and spelling practice with a labelling challenge for fast finishers.

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.
Yes! They work great for mixed aged groups and different abilities because they come with different templates AND different suggestions with how to use the resource. No time wasted on adapting different worksheets!
The provided activity suggestions for pre, during and after the craft give you all the steps you need to create a fun and engaging lesson for your young learners.
You can certainly find some free colouring sheets out there, but it’ll be tough to find ones that exactly match the vocabulary in the story. I can guarantee your young learners will be much more excited to create this. Engaged and motivated children make for a happy lesson (and teacher!)
