School Supplies Song & Printable Worksheets for Kids (EFL) | MeloMelo

on

  Looking for a fun school supplies song with ready-to-use worksheets for your English class? This “8 School Supplies Song” helps young learners practice classroom object vocabulary with a simple call-and-response pattern. 

 It’s perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and lower elementary EFL classes, and comes with listening, reading, writing, and word search worksheets you can print and use right away.



About the Song

 The song focuses on eight essential school supplies: pencil, glue, bag, book, ruler, crayon, eraser, scissors. Children join the “word hunters” and answer questions like “What do you see?” and “What is it?” before shouting the word together. The clear rhythm, repetition, and call-and-response style make it easy for young learners to understand the question pattern and remember each new word while they sing and move.


  

What’s Included

  • Vocabulary focus: pencil, glue, bag, book, ruler, crayon, eraser, scissors.
  • Sing & Circle : students listen to the song and circle the correct word in each pair (e.g., pencil/pen, glue/blue).
  • Word Hunt : learners listen and then find and circle the eight correctly spelled words among fun spelling decoys.
  • Match & Write: match cute character pictures with the correct school supply word, then trace and write it.
  • Fill & Copy sentences: write short sentences such as “It’s glue.” / “It’s a bag.” / “It’s a pair of scissors.” and copy them for fluency.
  • Draw & Share : students draw something in their bag and write 2–3 sentences about it (e.g., “There is a book in my bag. It’s big.”).

  • Word Search – Easy (12×12): find all the school supplies words in a smaller grid, great for younger or lower-level learners.
  • Word Search – Hard (20×20): a more challenging grid for older or higher-level students.

Learning Goals

  • Practice key school supplies vocabulary in English (pencil, glue, bag, book, ruler, crayon, eraser, scissors).
  • Understand and answer simple question patterns such as “What do you see?” and “What is it?” using full-sentence answers.
  • Develop listening skills by discriminating between similar words and correct/incorrect spellings.
  • Build early reading and writing skills through tracing, copying, and sentence writing activities.
  • Encourage speaking confidence as children shout the target words and share their own sentences.
  • Support young ESL/EFL learners in kindergarten and elementary school with engaging, low-prep materials.

How to Use in Class

  • Warm-up: Show real school items (or flashcards) and ask, “What is this?” Let students guess in English or L1, then give the target word in English.
  • First listen: Play the song once with no worksheets. Have students simply listen, watch, and point to real objects as they hear them.
  • TPR actions: On the second play, add actions such as “show your pencil,” “hold your bag,” “open your book,” “close your scissors” to keep everyone moving.
  • Question & answer: Pause after “What is it?” or “What do you see?” and let students answer before you play the chorus line.
  • Sing & Circle / Word Hunt: Give out the listening worksheets. Play the song again while students circle the correct words and hunt for the eight correct spellings.
  • Writing practice: Use the Match & Write and Extra Writing Practice pages for a quiet main activity or literacy center.
  • Sentence work: Complete the Fill & Copy page together, modeling “It’s glue.” / “It’s a book.” on the board, then let students copy.
  • Creative wrap-up: Finish with the Draw & Share task, and invite a few students to show their picture and read their sentences to the class.
  • Extension / fast finishers: Use the Easy or Hard Word Search as an extra reading task, homework, or a fun Friday review activity.
