This powerpoint is designed to teach beginners the alphabet and the pronunciation of the letters as well as some phonetics signs.



It draws a link between the pronunciation of colours  and the pronunciation of letters to help the pupils remember that they are pronunced with the same sound. (see my ppt What colour is it?)



I usually have my pupils copy the grid on their copybook, colours included. The last 3 slides show letters randomly to enable the pupils to practice and check they know their alphabet.

The Alphabet

A short powerpoint going over daily routine. Lists the activities but does not give any grammar structures. Meant to introduce the topic of daily routines, and the grammar can be elicited or demonstrated. Covers morning, afternoon, and evening. Not an extensive list of activities but it covers some of the major ones. I used this for a short demo. There are notes in the bottom to give teachers some ideas. 

Daily Routine Powerpoint

Students compare the values for the animals' size, weight, and speed.

To start the game, shuffle and deal all the cards face down. Each player holds their cards so that they can see the top card only.



The player to the dealer’s left starts by reading out a category from the top card (e.g. Height, value 5) The other players then read out the same category from their cards. The one with the best or highest value wins, and that player collects all the top cards, including their own, and moves them to the bottom of their pile. It is then their turn again to choose a category from the next card.



If two or more cards share the top value or data is not available for that particular subject then all the cards are placed in the middle and the same player chooses again from the next card. The winner of the hand takes the cards in the middle as well.



The person with all the cards at the end is the winner.
