Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to use English to talk about building and construction.

Materials and Prep

• Toy construction blocks or Legos
• Paper and crayons/markers
• A book about building or construction (optional)

Prior knowledge: Basic understanding of English vocabulary and sentence structure.

Activities

1. Building with Blocks:

   Use the toy construction blocks or Legos to build different structures. As you build, describe what you are doing in English. For example, "I am stacking the blocks to make a tall tower."

2. Draw and Label:

   Give the student a piece of paper and crayons/markers. Ask them to draw their dream house or a building they would like to create. Encourage them to label different parts of the drawing using English words.

3. Read a Book:

   If you have a book about building or construction, read it together. Discuss the pictures and ask questions in English. For example, "What do you think the builders are doing in this picture?"
