This is booklet 1 called EAL worksheets and Games for Initial Learners School Vocabulary.

The topics covered in the pack are 1. School, 2. Colour 3. Number 4. School Clothes 5. Food and Drinks.
Worksheets and games are suitable for use from age 8 to adult. The booklets could be suitable for use with a group of refugees who have a wide age range and  who are beginning to learn English. The word matching activities could be particularly useful for students who have had little education in their first language and   perhaps might not be literate in their first language. Some games could be used with  children younger than 8 years. Consolidation of new vocabulary is possible by using a range of different worksheets and games. By using this pack, Initial Learners should be able to achieve success and build confidence in the early days of acquiring English.
The skills developed by using the worksheets are reading and writing.Games provide opportunities for the development of speaking and listening.

The owner of the company English as an Additional Language Excellent Education (EAL EE) has many years of experience of teaching in the EAL field and finds these types of activities very useful for Initial Learners especially if the student is an isolated learner placed in a mainstream school.
