A selection of English ESL what would you do printables

Hi teachers! Here is a lesson accessible for multi-level classrooms. This worksheet has instructions for students to make a disaster preparedness plan. The link on the second page can be used for a reading comprehension activity. One option could be to assign different point values to different activities or steps. Another is to use it as practice for the simple future (what will you do) or the first conditional (what would you do). While it is aimed at groups, individuals can complete it as well. Enjoy!

To practice and refresh vocabulary related to Colours, numbers, school materials, prepositions and the day of the week I did this boardgame. (Thank you very much to Muchahorta to do the template!!)



There are different activities to do while you play:



1)Questions (another classmate has to ask, and he/she answer)



2) Numbers (Day of the week. You see a calendar and see what day is 8 (monday, tuesday or so on). Also it appears the day of the week, and you have to discover the number of the day.



3) Hangman game (to practice how words are spelled) 



4) Actions (students would have to do actions, recognising prepositions in/on/under).



I hope you all take advantage of this.

Second Conditional

In this worksheet, students should create 6 personalities and try to find a soulmate to the characters given on the second page. You can delete & edit the likes before you present them to your students.



After students noted down what each person likes and dislikes, they need to discuss ideal matches among themselves. They should come up with reasons why they think their matches are compatible.



An example would be: "Tom is a good match with Penelope because both like walking in the park, and they dislike cold weather."

Matching Exercise Likes and Dislikes

Template for Needs Analysis: to be conducted with students at the beginning of a course to find out what they want to achieve from their classes and their preferred method of learning. I use this form for business students when I already have a rough idea of their level and they are looking to learn English mainly for business purposes. If you don't know the level, I would recommend accompanying this with an oral level test or something similar.

For lower levels you could complete this as a class discussion, for higher levels you could give the form directly to the student to complete themselves.

Needs Analysis Template - Business Students

Ability - can & can't
This is the 5th worksheet about the Taylor Family. See previous worksheets for other grammar points.

Background
This is a worksheet from a book that I created to help visual learners review grammar, learn vocabulary and practice speaking. The book is about a typical family who live in England. John and Sue are the parents of Emily and Peter. They live with their dog Barney. 

Introduction
This worksheet can help learners practice a number of different things, for example,
             - vocabulary
             - modal verbs for ability (can & can't)

Task 1: Remind SS of the Taylor Family (if you are using this worksheet as part of a 
             series). What do they remember about the family? For example,
             'Peter plays computer games.'
             'John drives to work every morning.'
             Tell the SS that John, the father, has bought a robot from ebuy to help with chores in 
             the house etc. Ask SS if they would like a robot, and if they would, what would they 
             like their robot to do?

Task 2: Look at the worksheet and using vocabulary describe each picture. 
             Ask SS: 'What can you see in each picture?'
             Go through the vocabulary and difficult verbs (apron, catch, arrest ...)

Task 3: If you only have one student ask that student what John's robot can and can't do.
             In each picture there is a small box with either a tick for can, or a cross for can't.

             If you have more than one student you could also get them to ask each other 
             questions, for example,
             A: 'Can the robot/John's robot swim?'
             B: 'No, it can't.'
             A: 'Can the robot/John's robot sink?'
             B: 'Yes, it can.'

Task 4: For homework, SS could design their own robot and write about the things it can and 
             can't do.

The Taylor Family - ability

Worksheet for adults and teens. The students look at the pictures and say what kind of trip they prefer and why. What kind they don't like. 

Then there are some people who say what the like and the students have to find the trip that would fit these people.

Tourisme - What kind of trip do you like?

I created this worksheet for students who would be at an intermediate level or higher. It is a worksheet that has high level vocabulary, when discussing emotions. This is for when you want to get your students to stop saying they feel happy or sad but actually start using some higher level vocabulary. This worksheet can be used in a number of different ways. I think it is a good revision or a good starter, depending on where you are coming from. It is also could be made into a matching activity or used to assist students' in their writing.
