Not all countries celebrate Father's Day (or even Mother's Day) so it's a nice tradition to teach students about. If you have adult students, even if they don't plan to celebrate, they may be surprised to get a card their son or daughter has made in elementary school. 

The worksheets below are free to download for non-commercial classroom teacher use only. Just click on the images below and a PDF will pop up that you can print out. If they are not right for your level, perhaps you could pass them on to another teacher with low beginners who could use them. 

I start the lesson by having students practice the vocabulary with a matching exercise:

I'm a big fan of cutting stories up and having students put them back together. This reading exercise is followed by a cloze passage. 

If this reading exercise is too low for your students, higher versions can be found in other books here.
