Find Someone Who
I prepared this worksheet to review the material for the Trinity test for grade 3 for elementary school kids. The activity engaged the students and they enjoyed it a lot. The first upload was flagged for using a copyright image. The ID number was 700874. SORRY. Hope all is well this time. GREAT ACTIVITY. I used Find Someone Who activities before an...

South Korea and the Day of the Trees
This is a great reading comprehension activitiy for intermediate students with comp questions at the end. Vocabulary is in bold. In a class on rainforests, this can be used to show a success story. Lester Brown didn�t say all the things in the article attached, but he did say most. I added some and modified his words.

Math in English
This is a crossword puzzle I compiled in Schoolhouse Technologies. It�s right. I downloaded one recently that didn�t work unfortunately. Ell�s have to know the English words for simple arithmetical operations. My students in S. Korea love crossword puzzles. Math isn�t the main issue here. English is. This crossword puzzle helps reinforce the Englis...

Rainforest Animals that are Endangered
This is a great warm-up exercise for low level English students or students whose alphabet is not the Roman alphabet. I will upload the actual pictures of the animals that can be used in a matching exercise as well. Sometimes I include the alphabet at the top of the worksheet (I didn�t for this one), but also, you can use any alphabet website and h...

Needs and Wants
I teach Economics to EFL English Village kids in S. Korea. I use this worksheet at the end of a 90 minute class to "wrap things up." Even the big kids like to color. Of course, you have to have the supplies -- crayons, glue stick, and scissors. You could substitute color pictures and just have them cut and paste.

Protect the Environment/Mother Earth Vocabulary in English and Korean
This is a vocabulary sheet I used to accompany a lesson on protecting mother earth. The Korean translation was confirmed by a native Korean speaker, not just taken from an online dictionary.

Introduce Yourself Online
For online classes this template works to allow students to introduce themselves to each other and the teacher. Family was left off since the group I planned to use it for might have had some family issues but it is editable. Remove "drink" for example and put in family.

Jeopardy Game Verb Tense Review
I have used this on my adult students and they really appreciate it. All tenses. The answers are in MC format so students don�t have to formulate the answer. The questions and answers give the teacher opportunities to teach. Why use "will" instead of "be going to"; present continuous vs. future, etc...

Who Wants to Be A Millionaire Verb Tense Review
I prepared this for my students today and it worked well. Increasingly difficult beginning with present simple and ending with future perfect, so intermediate level. A nice review of all verb tenses when you have some time for a break and a game. My adult students enjoy these games. Hope yours do! T...

Present Simple Verb Tense, Third Person Singular and Daily Routines
A power point where the students have to decide whether to put an "s" on the end of the present simple tense verb. A bit of a formative in-class assessment to reinforce use of the "s" for 3rd person singular. You can edit and add other slides by copying the format, but I eliminated slides to keep th...

Endangered Animals Jeopardy
This jeopardy game MUST be resaved as Macros enabled. I save it here as ppt, but it must be resaved as ppm (macro enable). You can find it in the drop down menu when you go to save it. This is a great game, and any question (and corresponding answer) can be changed. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes t...
