Talking about types of homes is a great way to get early learners to open up in class.

When we ask questions about the home each child lives in, we give them a chance to tell us something they know.

And, they get to hear how their classmates live every day too.

Take a look at the video below for a fun introduction to different types of homes!

After you watch the video together, ask your students the following questions:

What are some kinds of homes? Answer: One-family homes, apartment houses, houseboats, igloos

Where would people live in igloos? Answer: In places where it’s cold and snowy

Where would people live in houseboats? Answer: On the water

Who lives in a barn? Answer: Farm animals
