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 boy?” Next, the teacher asks the child to put

two object cards in different locations in the picture, e.g. “Put the potato next to the boy.”

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

about the girl.”

3. The teacher asks the child about four object cards, e.g. “What’s this?” (It’s a duck.) “What’s your
favourite animal?”

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.
