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.

What are they playing? games flash cards 13-24 of 24
These go with another of my �What are they playing?� worksheets, the one that focuses on children�s games. I created them because many students may not know these games.

What are they playing? (2 of 2) In colour and grayscale
I decided to do one more related to music as I thought it good to contrast these two forms of play using musical instruments and sports. Children can use the list of musical instruments to assist them in completing the worksheet. Buzz, buzz. Here is the other one: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=652200#thetop

Play, Do, Go: in colour and grey scale with answer key
See what sports the animals do (and play) and simply explain the verb usage with this worksheet, which is ideal for teaching the usage of �play�, �do� and �go� in relation to sports. If you have young or visual learners or if you are struggling to explain this point to your students, then you need this. Good timing for the Olympics.

What did they buy? in colour and greyscale with keys
I was looking for something simple that practiced countable and uncountable nouns without explaining the grammar and whilst looking I saw one of Evelina�s old worksheets which really helped me in my design. I suggest challenging your students to complete the shopping lists first and then they can self-check by completing the two criss cross puzzles...
