My Toys: Toy Words for Kindergarten

Learning Objectives

• Say and recognize eight toy words.
• Use I have a … and My favorite toy is … .
• Count toys up to five.

How to Use This Resource

• Show the slides and hold up each flashcard or a real toy. Children repeat the word and do an action (throw a ball, drive a car, beat a drum).
• Do worksheet activities 1 and 2 together, saying each word aloud.
• Children complete activities 3 to 6 with help, then use the quiz and take home the homework page.

Classroom Activity Ideas

• Toy box: put real toys or flashcards in a box. A child takes one out and says: "I have a car."
• What's missing? Show four toys, hide one and ask children which toy is missing.
• Toy actions: say a toy word; children do its action (fly a kite, beat a drum, walk like a robot).

Differentiation

Support: focus on four words (ball, car, teddy bear, kite) and let children point instead of saying. Challenge: children add a color: "I have a red car."

Assessment

Use the worksheet and quiz to check that children recognize the words. Use the rubric while children name the flashcards and talk about their drawings.

Teacher Tips

Children have different toys at home, so accept any toy a child names in the drawing activity and help them say the word in English. A short toy box game at the start of each lesson is a quick way to review the words.
