About Toys & games
Toys are close to children's hearts, which makes them one of the most motivating topics for young learners. Bringing a favorite toy to class gives every child something real to talk about and show.
Kids and A1 learners learn ball, doll, teddy bear, kite, robot and car, along with colors, numbers and sizes. Useful structures include I have..., Do you have...?, This is my... and possessive 's (It's Tom's ball). At A2 learners describe their favorite toy or game in a few sentences, use prepositions of place in a toy box or bedroom, and compare toys with comparatives such as bigger and more exciting.
This page offers printable worksheets, ready-to-teach lessons and vocabulary flashcard decks on toys and games for Kids, A1 and A2.
Teaching tips: Toys & games
- Organize a show-and-tell where each child presents a toy with a simple frame: "This is my robot. It's big and silver."
- Hide toys around the room and give clues with prepositions so children can find them.
- Play "What's missing?" with real toys or flashcards on a tray to practice vocabulary memory.
- Let children design a new toy, draw it and describe it to the class, which works well as a mixed-ability task.
