About A1 crafts
Crafts are a practical way to help A1 beginners use their first English in a meaningful task. Making a family tree, a 'my day' flap book or a question dice gives repeated practice of personal information, family, daily routines, likes and dislikes and basic question forms.
The templates suit teenagers and young adults as well as older children, with neutral designs and a clear language outcome. After making the object, learners use it to ask and answer questions, present to a partner or display in the classroom.
Each craft includes step-by-step instructions and a short note on the target language. Print on A4 or US Letter or download as PDF, and use card for dice and spinners.
