About Home & rooms
The home is one of the most useful contexts for teaching core grammar in a meaningful way. Rooms and furniture give learners a clear, visual reason to use there is and there are, prepositions of place and descriptive adjectives.
Kids and A1 learners start with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, bed, table and sofa, with Where's the cat? It's under the table. A2 and B1 learners describe their own home, compare houses with comparatives, talk about household chores with have to, and read accommodation adverts. B2 to C2 learners discuss housing costs, renting versus buying, house-sharing, dream homes and the language of property, including collocations such as spacious, cramped and well-located.
This page brings together printable worksheets, ready-to-teach lessons and vocabulary flashcard decks about homes and rooms, filtered by level.
Teaching tips: Home & rooms
- Try a picture-dictation: one learner describes a room while their partner draws it, then they compare the drawing with the original.
- Contrast "There is a sofa" and "There are two chairs" on the board, and watch for "There have" from speakers of Romance languages.
- Hide an object in a picture of a house and let learners find it by asking "Is it in the bathroom? Is it on the shelf?"
- At B1 and above, give learners real flat-share adverts and have them role-play phoning to ask about the room.
Questions teachers ask
What grammar should I teach with rooms and furniture at A1?
There is/there are, prepositions of place (in, on, under, next to, behind, between) and have/has. These are high-frequency and easy to practice with pictures.
How can I make the home topic interesting for adults?
Move beyond furniture lists to real issues: housing costs, flat-sharing rules, working from home and the pros and cons of city and country living.
