Matching elementary and common conversational expressions and phrases to pictures is a great way of teaching students by giving visual context to language and vocabulary. Audio files are now being included so it provides useful listening practice too.
This is a great exercise for a really elementary class. It’s a listening and vocabulary activity. First, the students listen to the audio and write the correct letter on each picture. They audio should be played in a repeated loop until the students get a grasp of the task. Then, as a review and to reinforce the vocabulary, the students write the matching expressions below the pictures. Of course, it’s also possible to the vocabulary matching first and the listening second.
