All You Need is Paper (and a little love) ESL/EFL activities

 My five-year-olds have been practicing playground vocabulary. And here's how we made our paper I-can-climb craft. They first folded a white sheet in the middle and drew their playgrounds. Then, we cut a strip of paper in any color, drew the monkey bar steps, and glued it onto the folded white paper. While the glue was drying, the kids drew themselves with their arms raised as if they were climbing something. They cut their drawings out and glued them onto the monkey bars. They were then able to share while practicing the sentence, I can climb. Pretty easy and simple.

This is pretty simple. We were studying clothes, specifically winter clothes. So, I cut out the shape of a long sleeved shirt. Everyone had a piece of paper with a hole in the shape of a shirt. Kids then had to go around the classroom placing their shirt in different places to get different colors and patterns. As they went around the class I asked them: what color is your shirt? They all had a different answers depending on where they placed their paper: my shirt is pink and orange or my shirt is blue, etc.  I punched out some snowflakes for them to glue to their papers to remind them we were talking about warm clothes.
