Brown Owl's Autumn - Bundle of Activities

Practise key autumn vocabulary with these differentiated wordmats.The wordmats can be used in lots of different ways:1) I spy with my little eye … a squirrel! (children point at the squirrel or place their rubber on it, for example).  This can also be done as pairwork.2) colour dictation - I spy with my little eye … a brown acorn!3) bingo - each child chooses three pictures and places something on them, e.g. counters/glass nuggets.  The teacher draws the picture cards at random and once their three have been called, the children shout 'Bingo!'.This can also be played in groups with a bingo master for each group.4) hide the wordcards / flashcards around the room and the children label the pictures themselves = copy-writingDifferentiation: they use a pencil to write the words how they think they are spelt and then find the word cards in the room to check their work.If you want to spend more time on the topic of autumn, I also have games to consolidate the key words, an autumn poem and story walk.  Have fun learning English with Brown Owl!            N.B.

Young learners can learn key autumn words and use language creatively with these story sticks. The sticks can then be used for various games/activities:1) The teacher introduces autumn words by drawing the story sticks out of a bag and repeating the new language with actions.2) The children hold up the sticks as they hear the words in an story or poem (see Brown Owl's poem).3) Play a game of change places. The children choose one or two sticks and sit in a circle. The teacher removes a chair and stands in the middle."I spy, with my little eye, squirrels!" Anyone with a squirrel stands up and changes places.The next person in the middle says the phrase: "I spy, with my little eye, pumpkins!" All the pumpkins change places.If someone calls AUTUMN TIME then everyone changes places.4) Choose 5 story sticks at random. Can the children put them into a short story?Have fun reading, rhyming and learning English with Brown Owl!N.B. Brown Owl is the star of my 'Read and Rhyme with Brown Owl' picture books.
