ESL basic personal information & hobbies pastimes reading activity low prep EAL

By The Librarian's Language Loft

This English Second Language ESL ELL EAL resource helps to practice reading basic personal information. This low prep resource adds problem solving and movement into a second language classroom: a great end of year activity! Cards share information on each family (i.e. family members, favorite pastime, pet's name ...). Each card gives a question, but the answer is found on an unknown card. The scavenger hunt begins!

**Please read the sample card in the pictures to check for language level.**

Explanation:

The "Puzzle Street Gift Box Mix-Up" involves students in a scavenger hunt where they explore 10 centers, decipher clues, and unravel the mystery of a delivery mishap. Each card contains personal information about a family on Puzzle Street and poses a question. The catch? The answer lies on another card. Students embark on a scavenger hunt, moving from one station to another to gather clues about each family and solve the puzzle. Place cards on the walls or scatter on tables around the room. Students must visit and read each card in order to answer the questions.

Includes: Two versions- same scenario but one has a holiday gift theme

Teacher overview

Student mission and directions (read together for lower language levels)

Answer Keys for teacher

Four student handouts to fill in and to collect information

Mission Outline: Oh no! A delivery truck dropped off gift boxes to 10 families on Puzzle Street, but there's a problem. The names on the boxes are all mixed up! It's up to your students to fix this mix-up
