to make the airplanes.

1. Teach parts of the classroom: (10 mins)
Printable Classroom Objects themed karuta cards to teach Classroom Objects vocabulary.
Introduce new vocabulary then have students play any card game. Eg. karuta, catch game, etc.
I made these cards for a nakayoshi class, but they could work as a fun little warm up game for ES or JHS to review Classroom Objects vocabulary.
This is a fun activity that any grade could do (including elementary school 6th or precocious younger grades). I did it as an “introduction to the dictionary” for my JHS 1st graders.
First, I gave them a blanked-out map of the school, and the worksheet. My OTE gave me the map of the school when I originally arrived so I’m not entirely sure where it came from, but someone at your school should have one.
