A selection of English ESL all about you printables

Here you have two situations for role-plays that can be used either as an oral exam or to practice in class. In pairs, each students will have a role (the witness of an accident calling the emergency services or the emergency service worker). 

I gave students 5-10 minutes to think what they had to talk about and how they were going to develop the dialogue. 

This is useful in order to evaluate speaking competences. 

Emergency call

The objective of this worksheet is to identify BIG and small objects, in this case animals.



The instructions are written on the sheet to circle the BIG animals in red and the small animals in blue.



This worksheet can help to introduce size, animals and the colours red and blue.



I have used it in my infants classes and it triggered lots of discussion about animals, their size and sounds etc.



I hope you like it.

BIG and small

This worksheet is meant for very young students. They look at the pictures that represent parts of animals. They have to guess what animal it is. The words in the box can help. You can also use it as a game. The student who finds all the words first, is the winner.

A lesson that explores kids being left home all alone while their family go away on an overseas holiday not realising their mistake to long after they have boarded the flight.
