A selection of English ESL my dog printables

I created this board game for my young learners to practice the present continuous tense and possessive adjectives. They have to make affirmative sentences with the characters on the pictures and the action verbs provided. When they find an asterisk they should also use the corresponding possessive adjective. For example:

Mr. and Mrs. Sharp are washing their clothes in the Laundromat.

Charlie Harris is doing his exercises in the Health Club. 

Alex Molina is feeding his dog, etc.

I hope you find it useful !



What are they doing?

This is my second worksheet based on the short film: FEAST. The film is an Oscar-winning Disney animation.

The activities are for young learners.

there's a wordsearch in order to work on before watching the short film.

After watching it, the students have to draw the main character (which is a dog) and circle the correct words to complete a very simple description of it. After that, they have to order the events.

What I love about this film and this worksheet is that it allows us teachers to give our young students an important message: DON'T BUY PETS.. ADOPT!

FEAST: Disney Pixar short film worksheet

The students have to look at the picture and read the statements. They have to write right (R), false (F) or we don't konw (?).

English test: pets

This ESL worksheet is a reading comprehension about a boy whose dog eats his homework. That old excuse for not doing homework that makes everybody laugh and there is nobody who is going to believe that! They answer in full sentences.

The dog ate my homework!

Note: Hotdog, or Hot dog - it can be written either way - is an exclamation mainly in American English, to express surprise. It is a delicious snack as well, of course! Here is another of my silly stories with a twist in the tale. In this one, a lady is looking forward to biting into her hotdog, but she trips over a kerb and the sausage goes flying. A bit of present continuous, but mainly past simple tense. Model answers provided. 

RC: Hotdog! It's a flying sausage!

I prepared these two worksheets for my first graders (6 y.o) who have just started reading and writing in their own language. They practise reading, writing and listening skills with a set of 8 super-easy words (ball, doll, seven, ten, red, yellow, cat, dog) . Exercises include: Reading words in capital and small letters, reading and picture-matching, writing the name under the picture and choosing the right picture/word according to  what they hear.
