I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

InTense Board Game (1 of 3)
I sell this game in Japan. It�s one of the best games for getting students to use verbs in the creation of natural and unique sentences. How to play the game (in pairs): You will need a die and counter for each team or pair. Players, within teams, take turns to throw the die and move forward by the number shown. All teams are in play together. I...

Circle Sound Puzzle 11: phonics the /ear/ sound
I uploaded this yesterday but deleted it when an error was pointed out. My apologies to those of you who downloaded it previously. The worksheet had the word "girl" instead of "ear". It�s possible to edit out. You have to drag the worksheet out of the document into MS Publisher or something similar such as Printmaster or CorelDrawer, erase the erro...

3 pages of Phonic Fun with ir: worksheet, story and key (#12)
Hi, See my account for other worksheets in this series. The stories are classified as "decodable", but unlike many so called decodable stories these have over 90 percent decodable text as opposed to the 40- 60 percent found in most "phonic readers" I mix sentence fragments with grammatically correct sentences as fragments are often easier for beg...

InTense Board Game activity cards 1-12 of 36
I uploaded these yesterday but there was some problem so I�m trying again. Roll the die and change the pronoun and tense and form a sentence. My friend caught a huge fish. The tiger is catching fish today. Every single sentence that your students utter has the chance of being unique and that is how it should be unless one is stuck in repeat, repeat...

Suffix Links 3 ee ea e_e: phonics worksheet
Sometimes a child just has to remember. The ee ea and e_e carry the same sound so we cannot know the spelling from the sound alone. We can of course teach some spelling rules, which may help the student to learn which spelling to use, but I prefer to first give the child an opportunity to learn in a natural way as do most native speakers, but with...

Asking Directions with Answer Key
Students fill in the blanks and practise the dialogues. The editable page is designed for a correspondence type lesson. I deliberately avoided the overuse of the word �straight� as students often think of it as a preposition of movement, which it isn�t.

Christmas Loopcards 3 (expanded and re-uploaded)
It is a domino type game except that the children must form a loop with the cards. You can print out a few sets and have children race to see which team wins first. If I do during a Christmas party, then I reward the children with chocolates. The original (re-uploaded) cards were designed for nonreaders and of course can be used in any language, th...

Yes/No Questions with Verb To Be and answer keys.
A couple of fun introductions created so that I could ask some simple questions for practising short yes/no questions with the verb To Be. It seems so easy but never-the-less some students struggle. Hope this helps someone somewhere.
