About Movers crafts
At Movers level children can follow slightly longer instructions and use their crafts for more varied speaking. Makes such as a weather spinner, a paper clock, a daily routine mini-book or a pop-up town map give real practice of Movers topics: the weather, telling the time, daily routines, places in town and health.
Many crafts lead into a game or retelling. Children spin to ask 'What's the weather like?', move clock hands to ask 'What time is it?', or use a mini-book to tell a partner what a character did yesterday in the past simple. Instructions use sequencing words such as first, next and then.
Each template includes step-by-step instructions and a note on the target language. Print on A4 or US Letter or download as PDF.
Teaching tips: Movers crafts
- Read the instructions aloud one step at a time and ask children to repeat the sequencing word before they do each step.
- Use the finished mini-books for pair retelling in the past simple, then swap partners.
- Keep a class set of spinners and clocks for quick warm-up games in later lessons.
- Ask faster finishers to write an extra page or add a label for each picture.
Questions teachers ask
Which crafts work best for telling the time?
A paper clock with moving hands is ideal. Children ask and answer 'What time is it?' in pairs, practicing o'clock, half past and quarter past or to.
Can I use these crafts with a mixed-level class?
Yes. The making stage suits everyone, and you can adjust the speaking task, from single words for weaker learners to full sentences for stronger ones.
Do I need a split pin for the spinners?
A split pin works best, but a pencil point through a paperclip in the center of the spinner is a quick alternative.
