Turning learning into a game is always a great idea, no matter what level you're teaching. These bingo cards will help teach students common objects like toothbrush, chopsticks, comb, and fork. While most worksheets on this list are reading/writing focused, this one incorporates listening, which will help further engrain these terms into your students' memory. When you call out the word, students will have to associate what they've heard with the image on their board. If your students are just beginning, you can have them write the terms underneath the images before you start your first round.

House and Clothing Items
Some of the most important words ESL students need to learn are everyday objects like house and clothing items. This will help them communicate with their peers, people out in public, and family members. This objects worksheet has two sections - the first asks students to 'look and write' what they see in the associated images (clothing), and the second prompts them to 'count and write.' They will look at an image of a house and answer questions like 'How many rectangles do you see?' and 'How many squares do you see?'

Incorporating colors into any lesson is an excellent way to engage a student's memory. They've been working on identifying these colors their entire lives, so it triggers a sense of familiarity when paired with a new subject or set of vocabularly words. This objects worksheet is excellent for beginners and focuses on having students name common items and identify its color. For example, students will answer "green grass" when they see an image of the grass.

Once students get a grasp on common everyday objects, it's a great time to introduce a new question to them: what are these objects made of? This worksheet offers practice to learners wood, plastic, metal, and glass and associates them with typical objects made out of those materials. In the activity, students will be asked to review an object and write in which material it is made from. Some objects could be produced from multiple materials, so remind students they can write more than one word as an answer when it makes sense to do so.
