FAMILY MEMBERS
(52 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Family Members
The family is one of the most important parts of our lives. A family is a group of people who love and care for each other. Learning about family members helps students talk about the people they live with and describe relationships in English.
Every family is different, but many have parents, children, and sometimes grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Parents include the mother and father. Children can be sons or daughters. Some families have brothers and sisters. Grandparents are the grandmother and grandfather. Aunts and uncles are our parents’ sisters and brothers. Cousins are the children of our aunts and uncles.
We use family words to say things like “This is my mother,” or “I have one brother.” These words are very useful in daily life, because we often talk about our families with friends or in class.
Learning about family members also helps students describe family trees, photos, and stories about home.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game makes learning family words fun and easy. The teacher says “Family Members!” and students take turns saying one family word — “mother,” “father,” “brother,” “sister,” and so on. If someone repeats a word or forgets, they say “Boom!” and sit down.
This game helps students:
Remember family vocabulary quickly.
Practice correct pronunciation.
Think fast and listen carefully.
Enjoy speaking English with classmates.
Teachers can also show family pictures or draw a simple family tree on the board. Students can talk about their own family members using the new words.

Student’s Comment
“I liked learning about family members! Now I can say who is in my family in English. I said, ‘This is my sister’ and ‘My father is a teacher.’ The BoomWords game was fun and helped me speak faster.”
