Father's Day — English games for kids (online + printable)
Aylara A.

The Father's Day topic gives you 16 concrete, drawable, act-out-able words — ideal game material for young learners. Below: the full word list, five ways to play it (each opens a game with this topic already loaded), and the printables for offline lessons.
A word becomes the child's own after roughly seven meetings. One topic, several different games — that's how the meetings happen without a single drill.
The words (16)
- 👨 father — папа
- 👴 grandfather — дедушка
- 👔 tie — галстук
- 🔨 hammer — молоток
- 🚗 car — машина
- ⚽ ball — мяч
- 🚲 bike — велосипед
- 🎣 fishing — рыбалка
- 📰 newspaper — газета
- 🏅 medal — медаль
- 🎁 gift — подарок
- 💌 card — открытка
- 🤗 hug — обнимашки
- 🦸 hero — герой
- 🎸 guitar — гитара
- 🧰 toolbox — ящик с инструментами
Five ways to play them
- Memory Match — picture↔word pairs from the Father's Day set; every flip is said aloud. Two-player mode for student vs teacher.
- Bingo — you call the words, kids hunt their cards: listening practice with a winner's shout at the end.
- Flip Cards — the deck on screen: picture first, the child names it, flip to check. Great for the first meeting with the words.
- Word Scramble — the topic's shorter words, letter by letter: spelling dressed as a puzzle.
- Balloon Words — save the word before the balloons fly away: the alphabet drill children ask to repeat.
Print & go
For offline lessons (or online students with a printer), the same Father's Day words come as A4 printables: cut-out flashcards with three label options, a one-page poster for the wall, unique bingo sheets with a caller's list, and a matching worksheet with an upside-down answer key.
