A selection of English ESL stop the bus ppt slides

It is a game called 'Stop the Bus'. All you need to do is to distribute papers to students and pencils. On each slide there is a category that students need to find five words. As soon as they finish writing they have to 'Stop the bus' and raise their paper. Whoever finishes first and gets correct answers will get a point. You can award the student with most point with candies or snacks. You can change the slides according to their level and age or the number of the words. 

Stop the bus game

The transition for a teacher to the online system always requires a lot of effort and skills, for which there is usually not enough time. It is sometimes possible to spend a good 5-6 hours of time on creating 1 interactive lesson, which already indicates a week of non-stop busyness.
I offer to the attention of teachers my interactive English lessons for Pre-Intermediate/A2 level students (Speakout book, but you can also go through the exercises separately without reference to the book).The class is fully interactive, interesting role-playing games, conversational exercises, and audio are also added. Each task is adapted for any gadget (computer, phone, tablet). 
Almost all of the cards and pictures are clickable. Convenient and interesting!For the whole hour, each teacher receives an individual link and password, so your lesson remains completely yours at any time.


1 Lesson:
We discuss the photo, guess the specialization
We learn 8 words that we practice during the lesson (Interactive exercise, you can click on the cards an infinite number of times to change the word and translation)
The student reads the meaning, names the appropriate word, calls on it, and immediately the exercise shows whether his/her judgment is correct.
In any sequence, students open the cards, look at the hidden pictures and complete the tasks + listen to the audio, read the audio text, translate it.
Students recall the present tenses and practice question structures.
Analysis of business introductory structures + writing a business email.

VIDEO GAMES / THE PASSIVE VOICE

Pass The Pencil Case is a game which is best played in the classroom and not online (though this can still be done)

Idioms in business: In a nutshell, stop beating about the bush etc

Generally, ‘arrest’ means police officers take a suspect into jail. Once the arrest is complete, the suspect is no longer free to walk away from the arresting police officer, this often comes before the suspect arrives at jail. They are put under restraint means to seize or to capture, to bring to a stop or to make it inactive. From all the meanings it can be deduced that arrest means to bring a stop to a person’s activity. A person can be arrested by police or Magistrate. Once the arrest is complete, the suspect is no longer free to walk away from the arresting police officer, this often comes before the suspect arrives at jail. They are put under restraint.
