ESL Jobs Lesson Plan – Vocabulary and Speaking Activities for Kids

This ESL jobs lesson from the Super English Level 2 ESL curriculum introduces students to common occupations and the places where people work. Through engaging visuals, sentence-building activities, and guided speaking practice, students learn to talk about jobs using simple present tense structures.

In this beginner ESL lesson, students practice useful patterns such as “What is his job?”, “Where does she work?”, and “He works at a…”. These sentence frames help young learners describe jobs while developing essential grammar and vocabulary skills.

  • Farmer
  • Pilot

Students also learn the locations where these people work, such as a hospital, police station, farm, airport, bakery, and school. These real-world connections make the lesson easy for children to understand and remember.
