Fabulous Fall Activities
for the ESL Class
FOR THOSE IN THE NORTHERN
HEMISPHERE, THE RETURN TO
CLASSES IS ACCOMPANIED BY
THE ARRIVAL OF FALL. AS STU-
DENTS AND TEACHERS GET INTO
THE FULL SWING OF CLASSES AND
BUSY SCHEDULES, WE ALSO START
LOOKING FORWARD TO APPLE
PICKING, BONFIRES, AND BACK-
YARD FUN WITH LEAVES.
Why not bring some fall fun into the
ESL classroom? Here are some sug-
gestions for fabulous fall activities.

•
OUTDOOR FUN
Why not have a lesson outdoors
and enjoy the fall foliage? There are
lots of things you can do outside be-
fore it gets too cold and learning op-
portunities abound in a simple explo-
ration of the school yard.
Tree vocabulary: roots, trunk,
bark, branches, leaves, twigs,
seeds, pine cones, etc.
Tree bark rubbings: head out-
side armed with some sheets of
thin drawing paper and crayons.
Students choose trees with rough
bark, and stick their sheets of pa-
per onto to trunk (use adhesive
tape or thumbtacks) for some in-
vigorating rubbing!
Fun with leaves: there are count-
less crafts you can do with leaves:
leaf rubbings are great fun, stu-
dents may also collect leaves
for a collage, or simply have a
competition to see who grabs the
most and have them practice their
counting in English.
resolutions for the new school year,
something like:
make new friends
learn lots of new words in English
read more difficult texts in English
understand a movie without having to
read subtitles, etc.

FABULOUS FALL
ACTIVITIES
FOR YOUNG
LEARNERS

FAMILY TREE
•
This is a great way to either
teach or review family vocabulary.
Have your students draw a tree trunk
with bare branches, or draw your
own template to photocopy. Hand
out small brown leaves you’ve previ-
ously cut out from brown construction
paper, of approximately 2 inches in
length, and have students write the
names of their family members and
who they are, for example, “Karen
– sister”. Students paste the leaves
onto the branches, with grandparents
at the bottom closest to the trunk, and
younger members of the family on the
outer branches. You can then have a
“show and tell” session and ask stu-
dents to show their family trees to the
class and talk about their families.
Briefly discuss with students the figure
of Mother Nature, and what her role is
in the change of seasons. Have each
student write a series of interview
questions for Mother Nature: they can
get as creative as they like, and ask
things like:
What is your favorite season?
Is your job difficult or easy?
Do you ever have a vacation?
Why do leaves fall from trees in au-
tumn?
Why do birds fly south?
What’s your favorite animal and why?
What’s your favorite tree and why?
Each student then swaps questions
with a classmate and answers the
questions. Remind them that in most
cases there may not be a “correct” an-
swer, they may be creative with their
answers as well.

VOCABULARY

APPLE PRINTS
You’ll need to gather these
items: red apples (one for every two
students), foam trays, red tempera
paint, and white construction paper.
Cut cross section of the apples and
give each student one apple half.
Make sure they understand these are
not for eating. Students place one ap-
ple half on red tempera, then stamp
it onto a sheet of construction paper.
You may choose to use them as fall
decorations for the classroom, make
pretty fall cards, etc...
Discuss all of the things students and
teachers did to prepare for the return
to classes. Remind students that just
as they took the time to prepare to go
back to school, there are lots of ani-
mals that are now making their prepa-
rations for the winter. Discuss with
students what some of these prepa-
rations are, introduce and practice
key vocabulary (geese, moose, deer,
squirrel s, etc.) and what they do in
the fall (migrate, gather acorns, hiber-
nate, etc).
Now’s a great time to discuss with
them, if you haven’t already, what
they hope to accomplish in the com-
ing year. Have them make a list of
Use this vocabulary list to make your
own crossword puzzles, word search-
es, fill in the blanks exercises, and
more. You can ask students to match
pictures to words, or animals to ac-
tions, etc.
This is the recommended list of fall
vocabulary, but you may use or add
as many words as you like depending
on your students’ level:
Animals:

Deer

Crow
Moose

RECOMMENDED READING
A great way to complement any
of these activities is with some read-
ing. These are just a couple of rec-
ommended books for fall reading, but
there are plenty of others available at
Amazon.
It’s Fall (Celebrate the Sea-
sons)
by Linda Glaser, for ages
4 to 8, is a great choice for read-
ing aloud.
•
Autumn Orange (Know Your
Colors)
by Christianne C. Jones,
for ages 4 to 8, allows children to
explore the main color of the fall
season.
FALL IS A TRULY MAGICAL SEASON.
WE CAN FEEL HOW THE AIR TURNS
COOLER AND SEE HOW THE LAND-
SCAPE CHANGES BEFORE OUR VERY
EYES. SOONER THAN WE THINK,
WE’LL HAVE TO HIDE INDOORS,
AND IN SOME PLACES EVERYTHING
WILL BE COVERED BY A BLANKET
OF SNOW. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE OPPORTUNITIES THE SEASON
OFFERS AND FALL INTO SOME FALL
FUN!
