My Pet Pumpkin: Drawing and Writing Halloween Activity with Video

My students like this game very much :) The rules are simple: the teacher chooses a date and names the days before and after it. For example: “Yesterday it was warm, tomorrow it will be sunny. What’s the date?” Students should try to find the date according to the descriptions. With this game students can practice such themes as “Weather”, “Ordinal Numerals” and “Days of the week”. P.S. I made this work according to Russian type of weather in October :) If the weather in your country differs from ours feel free to change anything you want (the document is editable) 

Game 

This is a worksheet about personal pronouns, to begginers, elementary students, esl students, young learners. You can see pictures and the pronouns.Also some sentences with basic grammar elements: to be and pronouns and names. There are four pictures, and no title. I don´t know about you, but I can´t waist too much ink, so, I just leave the important information. I really like to give this kind of information to my students, so they can always have a short source to look at when they need to review, and they can also study and organize their notebooks with that. 





Personal Pronouns

This worksheet is suitable for all ages and the answers depend on the level of the students. They can only name the error, example: the clock or say what is wrong: The dial of the clock is incorrect. Students also need to answer questions. The vocabulary level is elementary level.

If you want to practice more, you can find more picture descriptions here

Picture description  - Something is wrong

This worksheet is made to drill the very beginners questions such as : "What's your name", "How old are you ?", "Where do you live ?", "Where are you from ?", "What's your favourite colour ?" and so on ...

I first introduce the questions to my pupils and then they have to work in pair and to ask each other the questions, then they complete the chart.

This worksheet can also be used after introducing "he" or "she". First pupils ask their friend the questions (so it's also a reminder of "you" and question sentences) and then they make sentences about their friend.

Oral Activity - Asking someone's personal information

This is a writing vocabulary exercise where students fill in the blanks under each picture with the correct name of the occupation. I show a brief video that goes through each of these jobs before I give the worksheet, and when the worksheet is given out, I put a copy up on the overhead to help get the students going. This is a great exercise for spelling, and also for practicing the alphabet, as this activity can be done together as a class. Afterward, the students can keep these sheets in their binders to refer to later. 

What's my job?

You know how to use them. But I usually ask my Ss to answer all parts on their own in silence. Then I collect the cards and shuffle then give them back to students randomly, then they have to speak about the student whose card they're given. You can also ask them not to mention the name and have the class guess who the person being described is. It makes them more confident to talk. Then you can staple the cards and make a booklet for yourself to have the information about your students, just in case :P

Getting to Know You

By Unlimited Learning

This is a story that I intend to teach about Present Perfect Continuous. Can you see where Present Perfect Continuous are in the story?



Have you been wondering who I am? My name is Lyra. I've been playing the piano for 10 years. Before, I felt that I have been living until now. But I never knew what was important to me. What is my favorite? I'm an uninteresting person. Where I came from is the past, now I don't think so and I've been playing the violin with my friend for 10 years.



Hope you find it useful.





Is it a Waste of What You've Been Doing?

I made this worksheet for elementary school 6th graders. I feel like they should be able to write full sentences, but that handing them an entirely blank paper would just confuse them. So I`ve sectioned off the paper. When printed, I wrote `Favorite Things` in the heart, where they can write a couple of "I like ___" sentences. `Birthday` on the page in front of the heart,  where they can write "My birthday is ___" and `Yes, I can!` on the ribbon at the bottom, where they can put their "I can ___" sentences. The spikey shape I mean for their names. 

Self Introduction

This is a great and sunny song to use in your classroom if you want to teach/revise vocabulary about pets and revise the plural form. Students look at the pictures and complete the name of the animals they know. Then, they listen again and try to fill in the rest of the gaps. The song is very fast, so this task is suitable only if you have a strong A1 group. The chorus can be used as an excellent tongue twister for practising the voiceless r and finish your lesson in a fun way!Hope you like it :)

Hi! My name is Linda and this is my new school. It’s a big school for boys and girls. 
Upstairs, there are 30 classrooms and the  administration. The computer room is next to the staff room where there are thirty computers. Downstairs, there is the canteen where students have lunch and the headmaster’s office. We study science and conduct experiments in the biology lab. It is between the physics lab and the library.
Outside, there is the gym. It’s behind the school. In front of the school, there is a courtyard and a garden with many flowers where students can play.
