This watercolor worksheet helps beginner young learners practise two family words through supported listening and speaking. After the teacher introduces the pictured fictional family, children listen, tick the circle beneath the matching parent and say the word. No independent reading or writing is required. Includes a separate teacher page with preparation, a listening script, an answer guide and accessible alternatives.
Target Vocabulary: Mum, dad.
Activity:
- Meet: The teacher introduces the pictured child’s mum and dad.
- Listen and point: Find each parent as the teacher says the word.
- Tick: Mark the circle beneath the matching parent.
- Say: Repeat or name the parent with teacher support.
- Try another way: Point or place a counter in the circle instead of ticking.
Learning Goal: To recognise and say “mum” and “dad” within a clearly introduced fictional family context.
