Lesson overview:
Not all of us are born with green fingers, but this lesson might just change that! Designed for A2-B1 learners, this ESL vocabulary and listening lesson gets students talking about plants, gardening, and why some people just can’t keep a plant alive. Using a fun TikTok video, engaging activities, and real-world phrases, students will expand their vocabulary, sharpen their listening skills, and walk away ready to chat about all things green. Perfect for students who love nature—or those who think plants are just fancy decorations!
Lead-in:
Start with a simple question: Are you a plant parent? Some students will light up, others will groan—but that’s exactly the point! This warm-up encourages real opinions and sparks fun discussions about plant care, gardening, and whether looking after a plant is an “old person’s thing.”
