The Little Mermaid ESL Lesson Plan

26/1/2017

Topic: Under the Sea Part 2 - The Little Mermaid

Level: Young Learners, beginner to advanced

Aim: To learn and use under the sea vocabulary, to understand The Little Mermaid, to think about emotions, and to play miming game. 

Warm up: Revise the ocean vocabulary by playing one of the flash card games from the last lesson. Then watch the video for the song "under the sea" and try to remember the names to all of the sea creatures you see. 

Listening: Print and cut out the sequencing sheet. Get your student to put it in the order they think it will happen. Then watch the video to check. Next get your student to retell the story - as best they can, whether it's lots of pointing, miming or full sentences!

Next we used some of the pages from the study guide (link here) from filmeducation.org. This is made for British children but depending on the level some parts can be useful for ESL students.

With my youngest, we talked about the emotions and drew the mouths onto the faces on page 10. We then pretended we had no voice (like the little mermaid) and had to act out what was on the card to each other.

​I use this game "Guess What!" from Flying Tiger but it can work with any flashcards you have.

With older students, there is lots to do in terms of creating characters and story writing and also practising conditionals with the food chain activities on page 6. ​

If your students like crafting then next I recommend making the mermaid craft from LearnCreateLove.com and then acting out the story together.

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what they’re talking about on the internet? You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
