Target English: Easter, garden and house words
You can find this song in the Teacher’s Set and homework program & check out the games below.

Lesson Plan

As with all the Genki English lessons, we have a very simple 1 2 3 lesson plan.   So before class all the students learn the new words and the song with the homework program,  Here’s the direct link if you’re already signed up.  Then in class:

1. Warm up and review all the lessons we’ve done so far with Genki English stacking.
2. Double check the kids have understood all the meanings and sing the song as a class.
3. Practice the English they’ve learnt with the classroom game!

We’ve got a few different game options for this lesson!

You can of course use any of the vocab review games, why not have a go at “Mini-Karuta”. This is the same as the normal karuta expect you put the kids into groups, and they lay out the mini cards on their desks. You shout out a word and the first one to touch it keeps the card!

Or you could print out two sheets for each group and play the matching pairs game!

Or you could try …

Chocolate Monster

1. Put the A4 Flashcards on the board.
2. On the back of each is a number. On the back of two of them is a “Chocolate Monster”.
3. One team asks “Look in the grass. Is it in the grass?” etc.
4. Look on the back, the team gets that many Easter eggs.
5. But if the Chocolate Monster is there he eats all the Easter eggs (points) they’ve collected so far!

Colouring Easter Eggs

Either real eggs or drawn on a piece of paper, shout out the colours to put on the egg. Also good for names of shapes e.g. “Draw a red square”, “Draw an orange circle” etc.

Prepositions Easter Egg Hunt

Hide a real Easter egg somewhere in the classroom. You ask the kids “Where’s the Easter egg?”. The kids reply with “Is it under/on/near/next to the ….“. You reply with “Warmer or Colder” depending on how near they are. The winner gets to keep the egg ( and share with their friends of course!).

Do you have a pink egg?

Try the “Do you have …?” game but have the kids collect different coloured Easter eggs.

How many eggs?:

Fill a big jar with mini Easter eggs and ask the kids how many are in the jar. Great for big numbers! Or you could use it for practising weights and measures, e.g. “How many grams do you think it is?”. The How many? song is here.

Broken Easter Eggs:

Try a similar game to the Valentine’s Broken Hearts game  But instead of broken hearts, have broken Easter Eggs!
