Fireflies - Song worksheet
You can make an extra copy of the song, cut out just the pictures, and put the pictures in a box/bag.

Family Members + possessive �s
Most students know the basic vocabulary related to family members, so I wanted to make the task a little more challenging than the usual family tree.
