Meet My Family – Free Lesson Plan & PPT for ESL Teachers

Meet  David De’ Ath , co-founder, editor, and writer at Wonderful World English. With his extensive background as an English teacher, David provides valuable insights and practical tips on ESL for students and teachers alike.

If you’re an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher or a teacher of young learners looking for some tips and materials on teaching the subject of families and family trees, you’re in the right place!

This lesson is an important aspect of English language learning, especially for young learners, as it helps them build comprehension of everyday family words.

From basic words like “me,” “mom,” and “dad” to terms like “family tree” and “baby cousin,” this lesson is a must for any young learner in an ESL curriculum.

Teachers should include materials and visual prompts to teach a lesson on families and family trees effectively. The goal is for students to understand and produce the vocabulary and be able to answer the question, “Who’s this?”. Teachers can use TPR well and keep the lesson fun and engaging.

I am an experienced ESL teacher who has taught this lesson to families many times; it is good fun and great to have in a student’s English toolkit.

I have provided the materials I use for this lesson, along with the PPT and lesson plan for you below, for free!

Feel free to use these materials in your classroom; you can add or take away anything to your class however you see fit.

Let’s jump in!

Family Tree ESL Lesson

This lesson is a staple in any English curriculum.

Learners need to understand the vocabulary associated with family members at a basic level before moving on to more complicated areas.

Students typically love to get involved and discuss their parents or siblings, so this lesson can be a lot of fun.

With the right mix of games and activities, songs, and movies, this will surely be a success.

Below, we will look at the lesson plan on the subject of families for a 45-minute class for young ESL learners, as well as some materials and games to include.

Here is the lesson plan:

1. Lesson Plan

This lesson is focused on the key sentence: “How does it taste?”, and teaches students to reply with “It’s sour,” “It’s spicy,” “It’s sweet,” or “It’s salty.”

This lesson is for very basic-level English learners, so I don’t overwhelm them.

If you believe your students can handle a little more, then go ahead and include more vocabulary, such as “it’s bitter” or “it’s delicious,” for example.

This plan should be used as a guide to accompany the PPT supplied below:

Meet My Family

Objective: To teach ESL students family-related vocabulary, foster comprehension, and enable them to talk about their family in English.

You will need An interactive whiteboard for the PPT, a whiteboard/blackboard to keep score of points, paper, pencils, and flashcards of family vocabulary (optional).

1. Introduction (5 minutes):

• Greetings and classroom rule review.
• Split the class into teams (e.g., boys vs. girls or by the row they are sitting in).
• Review content from your previous lesson (if applicable).

2. New Topic Introduction (3 minutes):

• Introduce the new topic: “Family.”
• Show a basic family tree diagram and explain the concept.

3. Family Vocabulary (8 minutes):

• Introduce family vocabulary words like mother, father, sister, brother, etc.
• Show pictures of family members and ask, “Who is this?”

4. Family Tree Exploration (3 minutes):

• Show a more detailed family picture and explain relationships like grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
• Encourage students to identify relationships on the family tree.
• Invite students to point at the family member and produce the language; give points to whoever does this well.

5. Play movie (4 minutes):

• Play a relevant movie to boost comprehension.

6. Make a family tree (8 minutes):

• Show students a family tree and discuss.
• Hand out blank pieces of paper and have students fill in the names or pictures of their family members.

8. Present (10 minutes):

• Select a few students to come to the front and present their family tree to the class.
• Ask questions related to the family tree and award points for correct answers.
• Students can produce sentences such as “This is my mom. She is beautiful,” for example.

9. Wrap-up and Rewards (4 minutes):

• Review all the new language and relationships discussed in the lesson.
• Congratulate the winning team; small rewards such as stickers can be an excellent token of appreciation.

Classical Conversations: 20 Easy Ways to Rock Your Family Presentation

Welcome to Classical Conversations! Are you one of the 75% of people who are afraid of public speaking? Let’s change that by raising up kids who have been practicing speaking in front of classmates since they were four years old. Training up confident speakers is one of the top reasons my family loves Classical Conversations , and the yearly family CC presentation is just one of the ways this is done.

To my homeschooling family, our Classical Conversations co-op is a room of our favorite friends who feel more like a family. In a CC homeschool group, you get to know the family members, your children’s tutors, and your children’s friends. It’s not just your homeschool kids who will have to give a weekly presentation in front of their classmates. Family presentation is for everyone in the family… including the parents!

If this is your first year in Classical Conversations, the thought of standing in front of more than fifty kids and their parents may be a little overwhelming. However, it really is a great way to get to know the other parents at your Classical Conversations group, and hopefully, you will be able to find a new Mom friend among the crowd.

Let’s limit your stress level. Copy these ideas! Here’s a long list of Classical Conversations presentation ideas to lessen your worries. And, please, have fun and don’t stress it.

Affiliate disclosure: When you click and purchase a link in my post, I may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. I promise to only recommend products or places that I have personally want, used, or researched. Thanks in advance for the gallon of gas. 😉

What is a Classical Conversations Family Presentation?

A CC family presentation can be as formal or loose as you and your family want to make it. Your family presentation may last five minutes or ten minutes. It may be the highlight of your kids’ year, and they ask you weekly when your family gets to talk. In contrast, this may be the CC week that makes you want to choose to fake an illness.

Know the day for your family talk ahead of time, and plan accordingly. And don’t be afraid to express your concerns to the Foundations director. She’s your new best friend and can answer all your questions! The Classical Conversations foundations director may even let you pick the date, so you can wait until you’re feeling more comfortable.

~~~> If you’re new to homeschooling, here’s t he mega-list of all my homeschool posts including more about Classical Conversations, unschooling, road trips, favorite books, and family learning.

Why Does Classical Conversations Include Presentations?

CC makes public speaking a priority in all levels. The brief show-and-tell type presentations of their early years are preparing them for their upcoming years. They will be less nervous reading papers in front of their Essentials peers in fourth to sixth grades. And just wait until they advance to the CC Challenge years! Your kid will be reciting entire speeches, standing in front of a room debating and presenting grant proposals, and eventually defending themselves in front of a panel of “judges” with their senior thesis in Challenge IV.

Don’t stress the younger years. Your Foundations kids are learning basic skills that are preparing them for the future naturally. And rest assured that their confidence and eye-contact will just continue to strength and amaze us all.

~~~~> Wondering how Classical Conversations presentations play into your future homeschooling teens? Make sure you read “ Classical Conversations Challenge Program: How to Homeschool Teens. ” It’s not as scary as it sounds!

What is Included in a CC Family Presentation?

The main components of a family presentation are simple. All you have to do is…

• Introduce yourself as Mom (and hopefully Dad if he can come)
• Let the kids introduce themselves by name and age
• Tell something about your family.
• And… Keep it short! Aim for five minutes and call it done.

Remember, this isn’t a big structured presentation that you need to spend an hour memorizing. Bring notes. Draw up a pasteboard. Grab whatever you need to make your life easier.

Ideas for Fun Family Presentation Ideas for CC!

Everyone’s CC family presentation looks different, but it isn’t necessary. Copy someone else’s ideas!

Most likely, the other grown ups in your Classical Conversations group don’t remember what each family talked about, and they definitely couldn’t tell you if you’re stealing someone else’s idea. Even if they realize you did exactly what they did the week before, Classical Conversations parents don’t care! Go ahead and steal these ideas!

Remember, family presentation can be a time to learn from each other, get encouragement from other homeschool families, and above all, get to know the amazing people that are now in your life!

Make Your Family Presentation Funny

Two truths and lie – Have a list of two true things and one lie ready for each family member. Read them out, and the community has to guess which one is the lie for each person. They love the interactiveness of this, and it can get a bit rowdy.

Guess who – Have each kid bring 2-3 items that belong to them. Put them in a big bag, and someone in the family unveils each item one at a time. The audience guesses who it belongs to, the owner of the item agrees or disagrees, and they tells a short story about the item.

Tell a joke – You know those silly jokes your kid wants to tell you over and over? Bring them to a new audience!

Rhyming words – Write a silly poem about each member of the family. The gigglier the better.

Make Your Family Presentation Musical

Family dance off – This is the most creative one I’ve seen in a while. The presenting family shared their favorite song that helps them wake up every morning, and the whole school got up and had a dance party with them. Don’t be afraid to make your presentations fun!

Sing a song together – Have each family member grab an instrument they can play (or bang) and sing a hymn or favorite song you enjoy singing together at home. Make it silly or make it beautiful. Either way wins.

Perform for us – Work together at home to prepare a short skit or play for everyone. Assign parts, bring props, and make it yours.

Make Your Family Presentation Encouraging

Share your faith – Tell a favorite Bible verse, Bible story, devotional, or prayer. This is a great way to practice sharing their faith!

Tell of homeschool victories – All homeschool parents need to know that they aren’t alone in this homeschool journey. Use this time to share a personal or family victory (or struggle); tell of how you are hoping to create a family of lifelong learners .

Share your homeschool journey – Mom can tell the family’s homeschool story while the kids tell their favorite part about homeschooling or their favorite subject.

Speak to younger homeschool moms – If you have older kids, use this time to share about your students’ Essentials or Challenge journeys. Let them see the connections with Foundations, and give younger moms a glimpse of what they can look forward to. (This also helps them know which “older” parent might have answers to their future questions.)

~~~~> Make sure you check out my “How to Be a Prepared Essentials Mom” blog post. There really is so much to know as you move into the upper levels of elementary school with Classical Conversations.

Make Your Family Presentation Historical

Family history – Share a story of your ancestor or where your family came from. This is especially meaningful if you can tie it into a history or geography topic for the year.

Meaning of the name – Have each person tell the meaning of their name when they introduce themselves or where their name came from. You could even tie it in with the meaning of your last name. Don’t forget to tell about the pets at home too.

Share your favorite historical person – Classical Conversations dives so deep into history! Use this opportunity to share random facts about the person you’re studying or even to introduce them to a new person that they should know!

~~~~> If you’re a history loving family, head over to my detailed “ Virginia History Road Trip Itinerary” for Williamsburg and Jamestown. I know it’s on your learning road trip plan in the future!

Make Your Family Presentation Familial

Recent Road trips – You know this one is our favorite! Homeschool families like to travel – it’s a fact. Inspire other people to take homeschooling on the road with your adventure mom tips or favorite road trips destinations. Bonus if you bring photos of your favorite destinations. I bet you’ll find a mom coming up to you afterward asking for your road trip planning tips .

Bring pictures – If you have pets or special items that you can’t easily bring to CC, bring a picture! Let the kids talk about the picture, answer questions about the picture, and possibly pass the picture around if you can. (If it’s okay with the community, bring your special pet. Better than a picture!)

Family traditions – What is that special thing you do together to celebrate that others might enjoy adding or learning about? What do you do at Christmas? What non-traditional holidays do you celebrate?

What we like to do as a family – Keep this simple. “My name is ——. My favorite thing to do is….” 

~~~> Wish you had a road trip to share? Check out “10 Tips to a Family Road Trip with Less Stress” .

Make Your Family Presentation Personal

My favorite games, sport, books, toy… – Kids listen to suggestions from other kids more than they do from their own parents. (Surely I’m not the only one, right?) Use this presentation time to convince other kids why they should play or read something new. It might even inspire a kid book club or show a mom how to incorporate gameschooling .

Bring a hobby – Have everyone bring a sample of a craft or hobby they like to do. This is another great way to inspire others to learn how to do something new and remind kids that mom will always be the lead learner in your homeschool .

Read their writing – If you are a small family with an Essentials student , use this time to tell why you love the program, and let your child proudly read one of their Essentials writing assignments. Even if they’re not in Essentials, bring something to share!

If you’re new to Classical Conversations or homeschooling or even just new to presentations in front of a group, I hope this ideas help! You and the kids can do more than you think you can.

ESL English PowerPoint: The Family

ESL English PowerPoint: The Family. A Free Power Point Presentation to teach English online and in presence for all Grades

We all know that our students do not learn the same way. They have different learning styles and they use different strategies to process new information. So we have to keep that in mind and always try to present the input to them in a variety of modes. PowerPoint can help you reach your goals. Used correctly this program can make input comprehensible, interesting, and engaging to students.

Practical reasons for using PowerPoint

• Showing that you are always well prepared.
• Avoid wasting time in writing on the blackboard. Writing on the blackboard is time-consuming and messy.
• Provide students with more input and contents.
• Overhead transparencies are faster and easier for students to read, but they are not dynamic and the use of nice colorful pictures is limited.
• Protecting the environment, no need to use paper.
• Avoid overusing the textbook that students often find boring.
• PowerPoint presentations can be posted on a class website. Students can revisit material from home or in the library. Absent students can access the class presentation while home sick or the next day.
• Website links can also be added to presentations.

Do not fall into incorrect use of PowerPoint  

Do not let your class become too  passive from incorrect use of PowerPoint. Always have students do something with the material to keep them engaged.

According to Sandra Rief (1993, p. 53.”)*, “ Students retain 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see, 50% of what they see and hear, 70% of what they  say, and 90% of what they say and do.”

This PowerPoint presentation can be a useful resource to teach English to preschool children, teenagers and young adults.

It contains:

• Picture Dictionary
• Songs for children/ preschool and primary (With Youtube link)
• Esl PowerPoint games
