Tips for Using This Family PPT in Class

Before starting the presentation, check what family vocabulary your students already know. You could talk briefly about your own family and ask them simple questions about theirs. This helps put the new words into context and gets students thinking about the topic.

Then, go through each slide in the PowerPoint. Say the family member word aloud and have students repeat after you. Continue practicing until they can say each word confidently on their own.

Finish the lesson with the review game included at the end of the presentation. In this simple 50/50 guessing game, students see two family members and must guess which one is hidden. If they choose correctly, they earn a point. It’s a game of pure luck, but kids love it, especially when they guess right.

You can have students raise their hands to vote or write down their answer. To make the game more energetic, have students move to either side of the classroom to show their guess. This physical movement brings more excitement and engagement to the activity.
