Cards on the topic of English family. How to make the Family theme not only understandable, but also loved by your child? Assignments on the topic “Family”

Hello my dear.

Do you know that in Chinese, maternal grandmother and paternal grandmother are two different words and two completely different sets of characters? It’s good that in English everything is much simpler regarding family! Although, knowing from experience, the topic of family in English for children turns out to be some kind of incredible problem.

Want to make this process a lot easier? Today I will help you with this! We will get acquainted with vocabulary on the topic “family”, a couple of stories in English, as well as interesting ways to make studying this topic much easier.

Let's start, perhaps, with the most important thing - from vocabulary.

When one of my little students entered 2nd grade and came across this topic, we found a very interesting way to memorize words - we drew a family tree with her! A tree where all, all, all relatives were indicated. I want to give you an example of such a tree. Perhaps with its help it will be much easier for you to learn vocabulary.

It's much easier that way, isn't it?

Here are a couple more ways to memorize words from this topic:

Use cards. Children have very well developed visual perception, so try making cards with pictures. Make a picture of a family member on one side and an answer in English on the other. Using this method, you can repeat vocabulary with your child from time to time ( such cards I took it for my daughter - we really like it!).
See.
Play. Come up with a variety of games and tasks so that the child remembers words in a playful way.

- This could be, for example, ball game , where he must throw it to you and say a word in English.

- Or tell him create a story or fairy tale , how suddenly all his toys became members of one family: you need to come up with roles for them, give them names in the form of “daddy bunny”, “mother bunny”, “sister mouse”, etc.

- Or it could be a game where you Place leaves around the room with the names of family members . When you say a word, the child should run up to this leaf and stand there on one leg.

Your imagination is capable of a variety of things to make it interesting. So go ahead!

If you are not doing well with your imagination, then feel free to register with LinguaLeo , find the “For Children” section there and learn new vocabulary easily and fun. I wrote about this in more detail and talked about it in the video. Better yet, immediately purchase an interesting online course « About yourself and loved ones in English» , which will be useful for both you and the child. You can try it for free first.

Surprisingly, for many people, family causes some difficulties. Therefore, I decided to prepare 2 texts with translation for you.

« My name is Masha. I am eight years old. I have a big family.
There are five of us in the family: my mother and father, me, my brother and sister.
My mother's name is Alice. She is a teacher of math at my school. My mother likes gardening, so we have a very beautiful garden behind our house.
I have a father. His name is Alexey. He is a policeman. When he doesn’t work he goes fishing. He doesn't like it very much. We have a lot of fishing equipment in our house.
I have a brother. His name is Dima. He is 14 years old. He likes sport. He wants to become a professional player one day.
My sister’s name is Marina and she is 12 years old. She likes drawing. Our house is full of her beautiful paintings.
I also have two grandmothers and two grandfathers. Sometimes we have dinner all together at the weekends. We eat the food that grannies prepared, talk and laugh.
I love my big family».

Well, now the translation.

« My name is Masha. I am eight years old. I have a big family.
There are five of us in the family: mom and dad, me, my brother and sister.
My mother's name is Alice. She is a math teacher at my school. My mother loves gardening, so we have a very beautiful garden behind the house.
I have a father. His name is Alexey. He's a policeman. When he's not working, he goes fishing. He really loves doing this. We have a lot of fishing gear at home.
I have a brother. His name is Dima. Now he is 14 years old. He loves sports. He wants to become a professional football player one day.
My sister's name is Marina and she is 12 years old. She likes to draw. We have a lot of her beautiful paintings at home.
I also have two grandmothers and two grandfathers. Sometimes we have lunch together on weekends. We eat what our grandmothers prepared, talk and laugh.
I love my big family».

Well, now for the second text. Let's add a little complexity, shall we?

« I am Sofia and I want to share a story of my family.
My family consists of 4 people: my mother, my father, me and my brother.
Both my mother and my father save people’s lives. My mother is a doctor, while my father is a firefighter. My mother likes reading. Every evening we sit together and read books. At the same time, my father and my brother likes sport. When it is warm they spend the whole evening playing in the yard. Sometimes they even forget that it is time to go home. When the weather is bad, they watch basketball on TV.
We also have lots of relatives. For example, I have an aunt. She is a lawyer and lives in Moscow with my two little cousins. They visit us every summer. I also have two uncles. They both are sailors that’s why we do not meet very often.
My grandmothers and grandfathers live in a small village several kilometers away from us. We usually spend the whole summer with them. We play with my sister and cousins outside, go swimming, eat a lot of fruits and have fun. At the weekends my mother and father visit us and we have a family dinner. We share stories and enjoy our time together.
I adore my big and friendly family".

And here is the translation.

Did you know that you can add a couple of exercises to the texts to reinforce the topic “family”? For example, easy and interesting enough for kids of different ages there will be a task like this:

Find in English text analogue of the sentence in the Russian version. There may be 2 options here - lightweight(when the child has a text with translation in front of him) and complicated(when he sees only the English version). So, you read any sentence or phrase from the text in Russian, for example "I have an aunt", and the child must find the same sentence in the text on English language and read it out loud. And if you work with the class, you can arrange a whole competition between teams!

And one more exercise to consolidate vocabulary, which can be done both at home and in class:

Each child should have a card with the name of a relative, in English of course. Children can work in pairs or in a chain. Everyone has to say "I"ve got a......" or "I haven't got a...", using your word, and then ask your partner a question "And have you got a...?, using your word again. The interlocutor answers, and then, using his own word, addresses his partner. Every parent can do this exercise with their young schoolchild.

By the way, even more simple texts with tasks you will find in for schoolchildren and beginners. Read and exercise for your health!

Well, it's not that complicated, right? I hope that now the topic “family” will become one of your favorites. And I will try to make English generally your favorite language. I will be glad to see you among my blog subscribers.

Until we meet again, my dears.

Today, people begin to learn English from a very young age; it is not without reason that the subject is included in the compulsory school curriculum from the 1st or 2nd grade. This is explained increased efficiency learning a foreign language in childhood. Children perceive and remember everything new more easily. If you also want to teach English to your child at home, then cards for children in English are considered one of the effective and simple teaching methods. This is the form of training that we will devote today’s article to: we will tell you why English cards are so good and how you can purchase them, and we will also teach you how to work with them correctly. Let's get to the clarifications!

Learning English cards with preschoolers

With preschoolers, you can devote 15-20 minutes to one lesson. The method of work depends on what cards you bought or made for learning English.

So, if you make cards yourself, you can make sets with coloring pictures. This will add additional interest to your studies and help you remember the word easily. If your child loves riddles and brain teasers, offer him cards with silhouettes of objects on back side, then the English lesson will turn into a real detective investigation. After all, first we will study the information, and then we will guess what kind of objects are hiding in the shadows.

With ready-made sets, you can also come up with an interesting lesson format. For example, invite your child to study 3-4 cards, and then remove one of them. Whoever correctly names the “loss” is a real English detective! Subsequently, such a game can be complicated: make up phrases from cards (blue sky, my apple, I read, etc.), and then remove the whole expression. Then the child must already name the 2 missing cards from which the phrase was made.

And with any type of cards you can play lotto or, in English, “Bingo”. You just need to create game cards (a regular lotto card, but instead of numbers we write English words). The children are given cards, and the presenter names the words: if the child sees the named word on the card, then he crosses out that cell. The first one to collect 1, 2 or 3 lines of cards wins.

English lesson with cards for younger students

School-age children already feel mature and respectable, so lessons are more focused. When teaching schoolchildren, cards can be used as an auxiliary element in learning vocabulary and grammar.

So, if you have a large set of cards from different parts of speech, teach your child to compose entire sentences with new words. Let's say that we are studying a topic about school, and the teacher asked us to learn thematic vocabulary. First, spend 5-10 minutes just memorizing the words, and then try to make short sentences using other words. An example of such work is given in the table.

This approach will allow schoolchildren not only to memorize new vocabulary, but to learn to use it in practice, composing phrases for conversation. At the same time, it is important that the parent can support the child and become a partner for composing small dialogues.

With the listed methods and games, simple cards turn into an effective tool for teaching children English. Choose topics, buy or make cards yourself, and try to learn English with your child using the methods outlined in this article. And in conclusion, we will give one more important piece of advice - do not forget about repeating what you have learned. As you know, it is the head of everything.

For each of us, family is the most precious thing there can be. Often, when meeting people, we are asked to talk about how we live, about our family, about our parents. If you are learning English, then let this topic help you talk about your family. How can children tell about their family in English?

This topic will also be useful for children. Because at the end of a school English course, a child must have a certain amount of topics that he can talk about, build a dialogue, and talk about. The theme of family is one of them.

Let's talk about family members

Each family ( family), usually consists of several people. Sometimes these are some distant relatives, godparents, etc. But now we will look at the most basic family members in English, parents and close relatives ( parents and close relatives). So, let's figure out who is who in the family in English:

Grandfather (grandpa, granddad) - grandfather
Grandmother (grandma, granny) - grandmother
Father (daddy, dad) - father
Mother (mummy, mum, mom) - mother
Sister - sister
Brother - brother
Son - son
Daughter - daughter
Uncle - uncle
Aunt - aunt
Cousin - cousin/cousin

It is important for children to be able to tell something about each family member. Who is who by profession, what hobbies, etc. In English it can be done something like this:

My father is a builder. He builds houses. He is strong and clever. — My father is a builder. He builds houses. He is strong and smart
My mother is a teacher. She likes children and she likes to read books. — My mother is a teacher. She loves children and loves to read books
My granny doesn't work. She is pensioner. She tells very interesting fairy tales. - My grandmother does not work. She is a pensioner. She tells very interesting tales
I have a sister. She is a university student. She likes sports. - I have a sister. She is a university student. She likes sports.

If we're talking about about spouses (spouses), here they are in English:

Husband - husband, spouse
Wife - wife, spouse

Pay attention to example sentences with these words:

I love my husband, he is the best. — I love my husband, he is the best
John's wife is very hard-working. — John's wife is very hardworking.

Also, we would like to bring to your attention a small set of words that relate to more distant relatives. It will be interesting and useful not so much for children as for beginners learning English. So:

Father-in-law - father-in-law, father-in-law
Mother-in-law - mother-in-law, mother-in-law
Daughter-in-law - daughter-in-law
Son-in-law - son-in-law
Stepfather - stepfather
Stepmother - stepmother
Stepbrother - stepbrother
Godfather - godfather
Godmother - godmother
Godson - godson
Goddaughter - goddaughter

Examples of sentences with these words and their translation into Russian:

My son got married; now I have a daughter-in-law. — My son got married, now I have a daughter-in-law
My father-in-law is a very wise man. — My father-in-law is a very wise man
I am going to visit my godfather. — I'm going to visit my godfather.

Family members in English and example sentences with them

How to talk about family in English?

This is very important for children. This topic is often found in textbooks, on exams, and in simple conversation. The words we cited above, as well as a few more details, will help you talk about your family.

Describe each member of your family, tell us what they are interested in, where they work. Tell us about each of them's hobbies. Briefly tell us about family traditions and holidays, about what you do when you get together. Don't forget to mention yourself, because you are also a member of your family.

So, you can tell about your family something like this:

My family is not big. We are four: my father, my mother, my brother and I. My father is a doctor, he treats people. He likes his work very much. Also he is fond of taking pictures.
My mother is an economist. She likes mathematics. When she has some free time, she cooks very tasty cakes. We always help her all around the house.
My brother is a university student. He is learning to be a doctor like our father. He is also a good sportsman, he plays tennis and football.
My name is Alex, I am a pupil. I also like sport and reading books.
I like when our family gets together. Then we discuss films and books, listen to the music. On weekends we visit our grandparents. In summer we go to the seaside or to the mountains.
I love my family very much. It is the best family in the world.

If you have any difficulties with the translation, here it is:

My family is not big. There are four of us: my father, my mother, my brother and me. My father is a doctor, he treats people. He loves his job very much. He is also interested in photography.
My mother is an accountant. She loves mathematics. When she has free time, she makes very tasty cakes. We always help her around the house.

This or something like this is how you can talk about your family in English. I repeat that this topic is very important for the lexicon. Practice doing this with your child, using our text as a template.

We wish you good luck!

Friends! Now I’m not doing tutoring, but if you need a teacher, I recommend this wonderful site - there are native (and non-native) language teachers there👅 for all occasions and for every pocket :) I myself took more than 50 lessons with teachers I found there !

Today I want to tell you about one very useful thing - English cards.

Probably every one of those who conduct English lessons for their child is trying to make them more than just educational. There is always a desire to simultaneously develop memory, thinking, logic, introduce elements of humor and motivate the little student to further study the subject.

One of the most popular ways to do all this and, at the same time, learn English is to play English cards.

This method has a lot of advantages. I will list some of them.

Firstly , English cards can be easily taken with you, which allows you to study anywhere and anytime.

Secondly, English cards can be made together with the child: by cutting, coloring, and gluing, the child develops fine motor skills.

Thirdly, you can use cards as visual aids.

And most importantly, English cards simply hold the record for the number of different games that you can play with their help :)

Let's look at one of these games...

You will need:

a) English cards (not cardboard).

These can be cards with pictures (picture flashcards) or cards on which words are written in English (word flashcards).

The first ones will help your child learn English words; secondly, they will teach you to read in English.

b) An ordinary drinking straw.

It's best to use a wide one, but a narrow one can work too.

That's all! Now we are ready to begin. But first let’s practice :)

Place the card on a flat, smooth surface. The table is the most ideal place.

Place the tube vertically. One of its ends is in the center of the card.

Now let’s put the drinking straw up in the center of the flashcard.

Let's put a drinking straw in the center of the card.

Invite the child to wrap his lips around the tube and, drawing in air, lift the card. In this case, you will need to hold your breath. It is advisable not to touch the straw with your hands.

*Hold the drinking straw with your lips.*	Place your lips around the drinking straw.
*Try not to touch it with your hands.*	Try not to touch it with your hands.
*Breathe in the air.*	Take a deep breath.
*Hold your breath.*	Hold your breath.
*Lift the flashcard up in the air.*	Raise the card in the air.
*Well* *done* !	Well done!

Now that the child has learned to lift the card into the air, you can play.

Purpose of the game:

- understand which card needs to be lifted

- bring this card to the right place.

In this game, English cards help reinforce the topic of prepositions, as well as review verbs of motion.

The adult pronounces a phrase that includes one of the verbs - the child identifies with the card.

*The girl is jumping now.*	Girl jumping Now.
*Yes, you are right! This card.*	Yes you are right)! This card.
*Now, you are not right! Not this card.*	No, you're wrong! Not this card.

Now we need to tell you where to deliver this card. You can simply say: “ Put this card under the cushion ”/“Place this card under the sofa cushion”.
