Printable African Animals Dominoes

Dominoes is an easy game that can be used to teach English even to the youngest students. This is why I design printable domino cards to play with kids when strengthening new vocabulary. The game offers a challenge that is easily solved by the majority of children thus leaving them proud of their achievement and experiencing some positive emotions. Every teacher knows that positive emotions in the classroom are extremely good for students’ memory and desire to learn. I also do my best to design bright and colorful domino cards to make English learning experience even better for my precious little students. I usually use the domino game along with the bingo game to gamify my teaching process and make it more effective with young English learners. Such activities bring a lot of fun to my classroom.

Since animals belong to one of the major topics with a large vocabulary to be learned, I have created as many as 162 printable domino cards (including a few for British English variations of some animal names) to help kids memorize animal names through playing individually and in groups. I designed the game in such a way that a teacher could offer students to match animal pictures with their names within certain groups of animals (African animals, Australian animals, polar animals, pets, farm animals, sea animals, forest and jungle animals, birds, insects) as well as for the entire vocabulary I based the printable animal kit on.

Food and Drinks Dominoes. Part 1.

The more activities students are engaged in when learning the English vocabulary, the better chances they will have to memorize the words for all their lives. I offer kids a few kinds of activities that involve matching words to pictures starting from classic word-to-image and image-to-word matching worksheets to games such as dominoes and bingo. I create custom printables for my lessons designed to form strong association between a written or spoken word and the object it means. The domino game is one of my favorite activities for developing such word-object association for elementary or middle school students. Since we have been talking about the food and drinks topic for the last few weeks, I’d like to start sharing my printable food & drinks domino cards that my fellow educators can use to teach the food vocabulary to their students too.

Dominoes can bring a lot of fun to the classroom. Try to share the domino cards between students or a few groups of students if you teach to a bigger class. Now you can organize an activity with a challenge and thrill of competition where students have to match all dominoes within a certain period of time, for example. Or announce a student or a group of students that has the last card as the winner of the game. I’m sure teachers with experience and imagination can use these food & drinks dominoes to make their English classes unforgettable which, of course, is conducive to the effective learning of the targeted vocabulary. So here are the first 30 printable domino cards for the food and drinks topic. Please, stay tuned for my upcoming blog posts where I’ll continue sharing the domino cards.

Playing games is one way to make kids fall in love with learning English. It is especially important for ESL and EFL educators who teach the language to non-native speakers at early stages of studying English. The key to success with young students is to make the learning process as less boring as possible because games and fun activities are the most natural way of learning things for kids. This is the reason why I introduce games to every series of lessons dedicated to a particular topic. We have been talking about the topic of clothes and accessories recently.
