Columbus Day Worksheets and Reading Comprehension

Columbus Day is a prominent holiday in the United States of America that kids who learn English should know about. Since I mostly teach American English to kids who learn English as a foreign language, I do my best to dedicate at least a couple of classes to Columbus Day as it’s important for my students to be aware of American culture and history. For this purpose I have designed the Columbus Day reading comprehension set that includes printable worksheets and a dice game. So, in October, my middle school students are going to learn some US history as well as English vocabulary related to Christopher Columbus and his sea voyage to the New World.

City Vocabulary Posters

According to my classroom calendar, there will be the World Tourist Day on September 27. It’ll be a great occasion to learn some relevant vocabulary. So displaying my printable city vocabulary posters would be a good idea for this day. They would help students discuss what they can see when traveling to different cities.

Transport Song for Children

Today I would like to share my new Transport song for children. This song helps young learners memorize means of transport and have some fun while learning English.

Transport Song Lyrics

Verse 1
How can we get to Paris?
How can we get to Rome?
So many means of transport,
So many ways to go.

Chorus
We can drive a car
No matter how far

We can fly a plane
As fast as a hurricane

We can go by train
Along a railway

We can take a bus
It’s so good for us

We can ride a bike
It's something all kids like

We can sail a boat
On sea in place of a road.

Verse 2
No matter how we travel
By train, plane, car or boat,
By bus, bike or whatever
We'll see the whole world!
