Telling the time ESL worksheet. There are 6 different exercises to practise telling the time in English. Students have to write the time under the clocks, match the time with the sentences, fill in the dialogue or guess what time it is. It is a very easy worksheet for learners of English who want to have fun while practising telling the time. This can be a kind of revision worksheet as well as a test.

Telling the time

Do you know these paintings or who painted them? Guess and discuss.

It can be used for Internet research and/or giving short presentations as well. Teacher notes included. 

Conversation Corner: Art - Who painted these?

MOVIE GENRES CARDS (12 CARDS). (Action, romantic, thriller, etc.) The task is: "Look at this cinema-goer, and guess what genre of film they are watching." This is an alternative take on the common task where students have to figure out what film belongs to what genre. Here the cards depict cinema goers whose character or eyes and facial gestures reveal what they are watching. Enjoy! Bless up, Kisdobos :)

Fun Movie Genres Cards

This is a reading exercise in groups. Divide the class into 4 groups, cut out the handout and give a different story to each group. They read it together and decide on one of the endings given, then they must write their own ending to the story. Once they finish they must tell their story to the rest of the group; to make sure they all participate you can split the story in parts or make them act out the dialogues representing the different characters. Then they read the different options given for the endings and explain which one they think is the correct one. All the students in the class can make their guess. Finally they tell their own ending. 

Once all the groups have finished telling their stories, it's time to tell or give them the real endings. Look in My Resources, there's a powerpoint presentation to help you tell the stories. 

Of course you can also give the whole handout with all the stories to all the students and make them work individually.

Hope you like it!

Second set of 21 cards (42 in total)ss play in groups or pairs, one player takes a card and the other has to guess which is the puzzle presented on the card, every time the answer is correct one point goes to the player. You can set a time for playing the game and the ss who has got more points it´s the winner. Another option will be to take it in turns and give, for example 5 minutes to each ss, to see how many cards can guess in the given time. If you think of other possibilies, as playing with a boardgame can also be possible. It´s a good way of making a general revision vocabulary. the back of the cards is also included.

Present Continuous  Mime Cards

I would like to suggest this four-skill comprehension worksheet for business students that is adapted for upper intermediate and advanced levels. Your students have to watch a job interview video to identify mistakes (bloopers) Nicole makes and try to suggest correct answers. The video has two versions (success & failure). There´s also a note-taking task based on a talk and a vocabulary matching exercise related to the 2nd video. But guess what the treat is! You´ll find a whole lesson plan to follow throughout. The activity is both professional and fun. What´s more? it´s authentic. Find the 3 video links included in the worksheet. Have fun teaching.
