Play Moving House: give all the children a room or a furniture cutout, make some more copies if needed. Make sure that there as many pieces of furniture as there are rooms. Play music and the children move around looking for a partner and stand together before the music stops,e.g. beds and bedrooms should stand together.

Worksheets

Worksheets are great resources for our class, I sometimes feel that there are not so many around for Language Teachers. Here are some to use from my books.

When using worksheets have students point to vocabulary before starting to color directly, most teachers use as a coloring page. Have students point to the family members, have them point to the parts of the house, have them say the colors of each part of the house.

Then have the students say where each family member is in the house.
