PETS
(19 WORD TO PRACTICE)

About the Topic: Pets

Pets are animals that live with people. They are part of our family and make us happy. Many people have pets because they are cute, friendly, and fun to play with. Common pets include dogs, cats, fish, birds, and rabbits. Some people also have hamsters, turtles, or parrots.

Having a pet teaches people how to be kind, caring, and responsible. Pets need food, water, and love every day. We must take care of them — we feed them, clean them, play with them, and take them for walks.

Learning pet vocabulary helps students talk about animals they know and love. It also helps them describe what pets do and how they look. Talking about pets is a great way to practice English in a fun and personal way!

Benefits of the BoomWords Game

The BoomWords Game makes learning pet words fun and active! The teacher says “Pets,” and students take turns saying one pet word — “dog,” “cat,” “rabbit,” “bird,” and so on. If a student repeats a word or can’t think of one, they say “Boom!” and sit down.

This game helps students:

  • Remember animal names more easily.

  • Speak faster and more confidently in English.

  • Listen carefully to what their friends say.

  • Enjoy learning through movement and repetition.

Teachers can make the game more exciting by showing pictures of animals or imitating pet sounds, and students can guess the correct pet word.
