What
the worksheets are for
The proposed activity cards are a valuable tool, specifically designed for children who complete their assigned work more quickly than their peers, often referred to as fast finishers.
Engaging these students in playful yet productive activities encourages conscious knowledge-building while also providing valuable support to the teacher, who can focus on the rest of the class. Moreover, the activities—designed to be completed individually and/or in pairs— serve as an effective set of free-choice tasks. They promote the reinforcement, expansion, and deeper exploration of the linguistic material covered in the first grade programme.
What the worksheets look like
The teacher can set up a designated area where boxes containing the activity cards are placed. They should introduce and show the children what the boxes contain—English language games to be used at specific moments during the lesson: at the end, for those who finish a task early, or during a collective playtime decided together.
We believe it is important to offer the activity cards as a free-choice activity for everyone, ensuring they are not associated with any positive or negative value. This approach helps prevent any impact on the self-esteem of children who may be slower or less confident.
At the top margin of each card, there are icons that indicate what to do and how to do it:
Reflect.
Point and connect.
Draw and write words.
Speak.
Play in pairs.
How to choose the worksheets
Depending on their teaching methodology and knowledge of the class, each teacher can decide whether
to select only the cards that feature already acquired linguistic material or to offer children the opportunity to take risks with less familiar content by making all the cards available. Taking risks is an essential part of learning, yet some children may be reluctant to do so due to a lack of self-confidence or fear of making mistakes. However, since risk-taking is a key aspect of acquiring a second language, allowing the class to engage with all the available cards can be a valuable way to encourage this approach.
