Teacher Instructions

1. Firstly, ask the child “What’s your name?” Then, familiarise the child with the picture and ask them to

point out different objects in the picture, e.g. “Where’s the door?” Next, the teacher asks the child to put
two object cards in different locations in the picture, e.g. “Put the fish next to the boy with the yellow

scarf.”

2. The teacher then asks the child questions about the things in the picture, e.g. ‘What’s this?’ (It’s a house.)
The teacher also asks the student to describe an object or a person from the picture, e.g. “Tell me about

the garden.”

3. The teacher asks the child about four object cards, e.g. “What’s this?” (It’s grandma.) “Do you live with
your grandma?”

Disclaimer: This resource has been made for the purpose of teaching English language learners. We know that students can be learning English in many different places, in many different ways and at age, so we try to keep these resources as general as possible.
There are many acronyms associated with English language teaching. These include (but are not limited to) ELT, TEFL, EFL, ELL, EAL and ESOL. While the term ESL may not fully represent the linguistic backgrounds of all students, it is the most widely recognised term for English language teaching globally.
Therefore, we use the term ‘ESL’ in the names of our resources to make them easy to find but they are suitable for any student learning to speak English.
