Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Name common autumn animals, plants, and objects in English, such as hedgehog, squirrel, acorn, chestnut, and pumpkin

  • Use short verb phrases to describe autumn activities such as raking leaves, harvesting, and baking an apple pie

  • Sort seasonal vocabulary into the deck's visible themes: animals, autumn clothing, wet weather, harvest, and indoor activities

Teaching tips

  • Teach the deck in its built-in mini-themes — animals, raking, nuts and cones, warm clothes, rainy weather, harvest, indoor activities — rather than all forty cards at once

  • Pair related cards to build phrases: rake and leaves sit beside to rake leaves, and pumpkin beside the pumpkin-carving card

  • Print a second copy of the noun cards for matching and memory games

Skills covered

  • Seasonal vocabulary — learners name forty autumn words and phrases, from hedgehog, acorn, and pinecone to bad weather, rainbow, straw, and hay.

  • Verb-phrase use — eight cards move beyond single nouns into activity phrases such as to rake leaves, to harvest, and to bake an apple pie.

  • Theme sorting — the deck's ordering clusters cards into animals, clothing, weather, harvest, and indoor-activity groups that support categorising tasks.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Are the cards single words only, or are phrases included too?

Both. Around thirty cards carry one noun — squirrel, chestnut, umbrella, tractor — and eight carry short activity phrases such as to rake leaves, to harvest, to play outside, and to bake an apple pie.

Which autumn themes do the cards move through?

The deck runs in clusters: woodland animals, raking leaves, nuts and cones, warm clothing, rainy weather, harvest and farm words, indoor activities, and finally straw, hay, and the season name itself.
