Young Learner's Task | Dream Birthday Party

Hello everyone, welcome back again. 

Today I'll be sharing a task that you can use with young learners. We developed it with my dear friend Duygu Akarsu for our Teaching English to Young Learners final exam. And we got an A so I'm really okay, proud and happy to share it with you. 

I'll be posting a very young learner TPR task soon, stay tuned.

This tasks main goal is to create your dream birthday party. I'm going to be posting in the layout that our teacher provided us with. 




The teacher will start with a guiding question;

“What is the most important three things at a birthday party?”




Students' aim is to create their dream birthday party and revise+learn new vocabulary. 

As you see in the first stage they guess the name of vocabulary given in the PP. 

*Names of the items will be shown until each one is predicted by the student. It would be a warm-up activity.








After reminding students of the vocabulary and give them the categories they will be given a handout.

Students will categorize given vocabulary. It's our ordering and sorting task.

Since students worked on words and categories, they will choose a party theme after they form groups of 4. Working in groups provides lots of important, great and amazing things I'm not going to elaborate on that. 



We chose a really cute birthday party concepts for students. They are going to create a poster with the help of any technological device, books, magazines, dictionaries etc. We want students to step aside from their comfort zone so teachers should be open to possible new vocabulary. 


And these are the instructions.

After the creative task, each group will present their dream party. They will show new vocabulary that they added. After that, the teacher will provide another handout. 


Students will simply do the matching with more vocabulary.

And this is the end.
This is not the whole lesson plan but I think it can work for you.
