Game: Find a partner.Have a group of students stand up in the front of the class. Give them a card in ramdom order. Tell them to find a partner and stand together to complete the picture.

Then have a student come up to the board and get a cutout, say its name and place it in any place around the room and sit down. Give students commands for pointing to different cutouts. T: Point to the black bike. I´m starting to make more pointers for each theme. Patterns:Make a pattern with the book´s cutouts. Give a student a cutout (bus) and ask him/her to stand up at the front of the class. Then give another student another cutout (car) and do the same. Then ask the class what comes next, they should say (bus) and give the cutout (bus )to another student, and do the same with the car. Continue until you have used all the cars and buses. Book: Red car,red car , What do you see ? I got the book at http://www.childcareland.com/, one of my favorite sites. I made some adjustment to suit my class.The template is here: http://es.scribd.com/doc/55149223/red-car-red-car-book Tags: I made these tags for writing the children´s name. But you can make tags for writing "Superstar Student", "Great Work" and give them to the students as a motivational prize at the end of the class. Get the template: http://es.scribd.com/doc/55147248/Transportation-name-tags Graphing: Lovely idea and can be done with any theme. Here´s the template for making your own. I did mine on cardboard and took it to the class. I also brought the small pieces of paper. I asked the children to draw their favorite means of transportation and then had them bring in their picture once I started calling for car, boat and so on. I put tape behind each picture to put them up. I counted with the students how many cars, boats,etc. Here ´s the link for making the graph: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Transportation-theme-for-ELL-1241245 Driving activity: Give each student a transportation picture and have them decorate their picture. Have students make groups according to their picture: cars, tucks, buses. Place the big numbers 1 to 6 in different parts of the room. Give students directions for driving to different numbers. T: Cars , go to number 6. Buses, go to number 3. Trucks, go to number 1. Give as many directions as necessary. As for the templates, please write and I will e-mail them to you. ([email protected]) Highway number tracks: I found the templates at http://www.makinglearningfun.com/, but I made them out of fun foam for durability. I bought toy cars and buses. Beanbags: You know that I always make a beanbag for my themes. This time I made an airplane. Download your template: Toss the beanbag Game: Hold the cutouts and have students name them all. Place the cutouts on the floor face up. Have students in a circle around the cutouts. Throw the beanbag at the car and have the students identify it. Give students the chance to throw the beanbag and have the class identify the object it falls on chorally. Coloring student´s book: Sometimes just using crayons in class is boring for the kids.
