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.

Lost in Toronto: directions and prepositions with answer key and extras.
The focus is on directions and prepositions of movement. Students should have some knowledge of prepositions and directions before attempting this worksheet. I have added a couple of spoilers into the word banks. Pages 3 and 4 can be used as part of a correspondence course if need be.

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.

Circle Sound Puzzle 15: phonics the /oy/ sound
That is two worksheets today. The other is here: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=441963#thetop#. I try to create true B & W worksheets, but sometimes I must use greyscale because the outlines are not clear enough. I am also saving in GIF which gives a high resolution, but sometimes loses a little a far as colour is concerned. More de...

Numbers Pictionary 1-30: full colour and grayscale
Yesterday I uploaded a 1-12 poster and today the 1-30. I created it to display in my classroom so that my students have a ready reference to the correct spelling of these numbers. If you have a large classroom then you can print it out clearly to A3 size. If you wish to change the colours then drag the worksheet from MSWord into MSPaint and you can...

a, an, the: color and B & W
The Japanese language doesn�t use articles, so even advanced speakers have difficulty with them. Actually I think my young learners did better than some of my adult students with this one. An answer key (as if you need one) is included as well as some ideas for teaching articles.
