ABC Rhymes for Each Letter - Printable Posters

Teaching English to young learners can be a joyful and rewarding experience, and one of the keys to successful language acquisition is creating a stimulating and engaging learning environment. In this blog post, I’d like to introduce my new ABC posters, featuring alphabet rhymes and cartoon illustrations of animals. These printable posters provide a fantastic resource for teachers, offering a delightful way to reinforce alphabet recognition, phonics skills, and vocabulary through engaging ABC rhymes.

Wild Animals Flashcards

Dear fellow teacher!

Let me show you one of my flashcard sets I use as a private tutor to teach English as second language to kids. This one includes wild animals flashcards. I actually love teaching English with the help of animal pictures and toys. Animals are the number one topic that can totally engage children into the studying process. After all the majority of their favorite toys are animals and their favorite cartoons feature animals. That’s why meeting animals during an English lesson is an exciting and fun event for little learners. And fun and excitement is something that makes them remember the moment forever while memorizing the presented vocabulary at the same time.

So I make sure my flashcards feature cute cartoony images and especially those created to help kids learn animals in English. I design three types of flashcards for each animal: the one showing an image of an animal and its name in English, the one showing a single image of the animal, and the one showing only the name of the animal. The flashcard with both the image and the word is used to introduce the wild animals vocabulary to students. The cards with a single image and a single word are great for vocabulary recognition and memorization activities. The activities can be as follows:

• Showing an image and asking kids to find the corresponding word among other words on cards
• Demonstrating a word to students and asking them to find the corresponding image among a few other image cards
• Asking children to match word and image cards

So here go the wild animals flashcards.

Free Clip Art for Teachers: Wild Animals

When working on animation videos for my ESL Youtube channel, my husband creates multiple illustrations. I think it’s a good idea to share these images as clip art for teachers to help my colleagues from all over the world make their English lessons more exciting for kids.

Last time my husband created a set of illustration was when he was creating the “I Can” song for which he needed to draw wild animals. So below you can find pictures of wild animals he created. You can use these royalty free images as you wish for your lessons. They can be used to make flashcards or other printable stuff. Enjoy!

Free Clip Art for Teachers: Forest Animals

When educating kids lots of teachers add visuals to their teaching materials. It's kind of important because little children learn things about the world mostly from visual perception of objects around them. It is not always possible to show real physical objects or living beings in the classroom, and describing them with mere words without showing at least a simple picture may be a futile attempt to teach something to little ones. Necessity of visual materials like clip art and flashcards is a fact of life for preschool teachers like myself. After all pictures are a great fun for children and having fun during lessons with small kids is a key to the educational success. Unfortunately, not all my fellow teachers and parents can draw and use graphic editing software or have high quality clip art available for them free of charge. That's why I decided to share some free educational clip art I have in my teacher's collection. In my first post related to clip art I would like to share a few cute cartoon images drawn by my husband for my forest animals song video.

My husband is not a big artist but at least he can draw better than I can and his drawings are just good enough to be used for my English lessons with kindergarten kids. You too can use these kid-appealing pictures for creating your own worksheets, flashcards, posters, games, newsletters, PowerPoint presentations, homework pages, school websites and other teachers' stuff to make your lessons and overall teaching activities more informative, engaging and fruitful.

Well, as I said in this first clip art post I offer my fellow educators some royalty free pictures of funny looking cartoon forest animals including bear, beaver, bird, butterfly, deer, fox, frog, hare, hedgehog, mole, snake, squirrel, and wolf.
