This resource introduces a cognitive and metaphor-based approach to teaching and learning phrasal verbs.

Unlike endless word lists, it connects literal and figurative meanings through spatial experience and conceptual metaphors.

Based on the book “Bring it on – 427 Phrasal Verbs” by J. Carmelo Pérez Rull & Silvia Pérez Fábrega.

Christmas - Connect Picture with Word

Halloween Vocabulary Exercise

This file contains a simple and engaging English reading activity for beginners (A1 level). The text, titled Alex’s Weekend Adventure, tells the story of Alex, a cheerful ten-year-old boy from Manchester, England, who loves animals. Every Saturday, Alex visits an animal shelter with his mum to feed and play with the dogs and cats. His favourite dog is a golden retriever named Sunny. The story also describes Alex’s daily weekend routine: waking up, eating breakfast, doing homework, meeting his best friend Jake at the park, having dinner with his family, and going to bed. After the text, the file includes a set of exercises: True/False questions, comprehension questions, sentence completion, vocabulary practice, and time-matching activities. This material is perfect for young learners to practice reading, understanding details, and building basic English vocabulary.

Alex’s Weekend Adventure

Venus by Shocking Blue

The file contains 18 flashcards with the words connected with the topic Victory Day. The day commemorates the Victory in WWII in 1945. It was initially created for my Russian students but I think anyone can use it if s/he finds it useful for a class. I chose the words and images which are the most typical for this holiday in my country. You can add yours. The file is editable. The tasks can be the following: translate the words, read and translate, transcribe the words etc.

Victory Day Pictionary

his worksheet focuses on practicing the short vowel sound /e/ through a fun and engaging word-completion activity. Each box presents a colorful picture along with a word that is missing the vowel “e.” Students must carefully look at the image, identify the object, and complete the word by filling in the missing letter. Examples include words like bed, leg, red, gem, men, hen, pen, ten, pet, vet, wet, and web. By combining visual clues with spelling practice, the activity strengthens word recognition, phonics skills, and vocabulary development. It also encourages attention to detail and reinforces the connection between sounds and letters, which is essential in early reading. The clear images make the task accessible for learners at different levels, while the repetitive pattern of finding the missing vowel provides confidence and mastery. Teachers can use this worksheet for individual practice, group work, or as a playful review activity in class.
