ESL Preschool Letter of the Week - G

10/10/2016

words that start with G
Here we are at the letter G! For my flashcards and phonics teaching, I only teach the hard G sound that is in Gorilla, not Giraffe. This keeps it simpler for now. I do incorporate books and videos that mention the other sound, but I don't explicitly teach it. 

RHYMES
Here are the lyrics to our favorite letter G rhymes!
​
Go, Go, Go,
How can you get where you want to go?
You can go fast or you can go slow,
You can high or you can go low, 
There are so many ways to go, go, go!

​Green Grass
The Green Grass Grows
Around the Gate
Around the Gate
Around the Gate
The Green Grass Grows
Around the Gate
In my Granpa's Garden
(To the tune of Wheels on the Bus)

Jolly Phonics - G
The water gurgles down the drain,
The water gurgles down the drain,
The water gurgles down the drain,
With a /g/ /g/ /g/ /g/ /g/
(To the tune of Skip to my Lou)

If you can't get your hands on these great books, you can at least find Good Night Gorilla and Giraffes Can't Dance on Youtube. I prefer reading them myself, because I often change words and simplify sentences. But at least the videos will hold their attention!

​ACTIVITIES
The coloring worksheet for the letter G is a great way to repeat the vocabulary. When the kids bring me their finished worksheet I ask them to point to each picture as I say the word. I love this "Goat in the Grass" craft because they can do the cutting completely on their own. Since they don't have to stay on any lines, even the weaker students can do this by themselves and come away with a great looking craft! You can download the goat picture from the end of the post, and then give each student 1/3 of a piece of green card stock. Make sure to ruffle the grass a bit after its cut!

​This is also a good time to do some reviewing of all of the letters. I have included some review sheets to practice identifying the first letter sounds from the words we have been learning.

DOWNLOADS
Download the preschool letter G activities and flashcards to use for personal and educational purposes. Do not sell them or offer them as your own. Do give proper credit.
The flashcards are formatted for A4 and can be printed back to back, cut and laminated. There is a color and a black and white version in case you want to save on printing costs and do the coloring yourself.
