Learn English with Brown Owl

How many autumn words can you think of?I like to teach dictionary skills with this activity. The children have lots of ideas in their mother tongue but don't nececcarily know the English. equivalent. My favourite online dictionary is www.pons.deIf you don't want to work with dictionaries, then the teacher can be a human dictionary. Children have to ask 'What's ... in English?'.I let the children work in pairs or teams with iPads or PCs and see how many words they can find in a given time.Why not give points too! If no else has the word, you get 2 points, if someone else has it, then you get just one.You can also use the Brown Owl busy autumn scene as a stimulus and to give them some ideas.N.B. You may find some of the words on the solution sheet a bit difficult for young learners. I just included them for the teachers and because I didn't want to have blank spaces.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!
