Big group

Make "My Family Tree" Posters
Teacher gives out a piece of coloured construction paper/card to each student. They are going to make a family tree poster of their family. Begin by demonstrating the activity - with a green and brown crayon draw a large tree, filling up the whole piece of paper. At the top write in large letters "My family". Then, either stick your photos family photos onto the tree or draw pictures of your family (grandparents at the top, next your parents and you and your siblings at the bottom). Finally, under each family member photo/picture write the vocabulary seen in class (grandfather, mother, etc.).
NTeacher asks the students to do the same. If they brought in photos they can use them on their poster - if not, encourage them to draw pictures of their family members. Students can copy the words from the teacher´s poster (display it clearly).
Finally, all students pin their poster to the walls of the classroom. Teacher asks each student questions (e.g. Is that you mother? What is your brother's name? How old is your sister?).
