Topic: Under the Sea
Level: Young Learners, beginner to intermediate
Aim: To learn and remember under the sea vocabulary.
Vocabulary: I have this beautiful wooden fishing game from Flying Tiger (they have stores all over Europe, but not yet in Moscow) which we played to introduce the vocabulary: shark, turtle, seahorse, starfish, fish, octopus, treasure, boot, shell and crab. There are some other kinds of fishing games on Amazon (links below) or I'm sure you can find some similar games in toy stores in your country. Another option, if you're feeling creative, is to make your own game with paper clips, string and magnets.

Next we did some more work on our vocabulary with these printable flash cards from LearnCreateLove.com. There are so many games you can play with cards.
Pairs: lay all cards face down on the table, then take turns to choose two at a time to try and find the pair. Memory: lay all cards on the table, student closes their eyes and you take a card away, they open their eyes and try to remember what it was. Hide & Seek: student closes their eyes and you hide the cards around the room, then you say "where is the octopus?" etc and the student has to find and bring you the octopus. Act It Out: take a card and act it out for your partner until they guess what it is. Who Am I?: take a card, and your partner asks you questions about it - is it big? how many legs has it got? is it an octopus? |

Finally we did some crafting with some of these ocean printables to colour, cut and stick. I did the octopus and my student did the sea turtle whilst speaking about what we were doing, helping each other to cut, to stick and to pass the green pencil etc. Then I stuck three pieces of paper together and we put our crafts together to make an ocean scene. We drew seaweed, extra fish, bubbles and some more animals. She likes a love story so of course some animals fell in love, some were babies and mums, and they all had to have eyelashes drawn on. She loved it so much she put it on display in her bedroom. |

If you have time you could watch the video to The Little Mermaid's Under the Sea and try to spot all of the sea creatures you have just learnt about. This will lead you in nicely to the next lesson...
