Games and Activities to Enhance English Language Learning

Funded Nov 14, 2020

My students and I can't thank you enough for the donation to help fund hands-on games and activities in our ESL classroom. The students were so grateful and excited to see our new materials. With COVID-19 precautions in place, we are limited in what we can do, but we have been able to use a majority of the materials in small group settings and sanitize them after use.

Newcomers are using the Touch & Read Phonics Word Match Cards to reinforce letters, sounds, and words as they learn the foundations of reading and speaking English.

I had a student the other day specifically request to practice animal names in English using the Spanish-English Activity Pockets! I love that he asked me to get them off the shelf because he was so excited to use them. The Instant Learning Games for English Language Learners have helped students practice using prepositions. The games have reinforced concepts we were studying as part of our English language development curriculum. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card was used to purchase games and task cards to enhance English language learning. These games and task cards are a nice break from computers and allow for hand-on practice.

It is our hope that once our classroom returns to "normal", we will be able to use these activities more often and share them with many more students. Once again, we can't thank you enough. You truly put a smile on so many faces.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Phillips
