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.

These or Those with Big/Little and His/Her: 3 Worksheets! (revised)

Dealing with Countries (Get a Country) 3-4 of 6

Where are the animals? in colour and greyscale with key

Days of the Week: Tuesday and Wednesday (4 worksheets, color and B & W)
Search the internet for worksheets dealing with individual days of the week. There is hardly anything out there, so to fill another gap I am starting this new series, which I hope you will enjoy.

A, An or Some

Anyway I have created this one in the hope that they will more than just guess and gain some confidence in their English. I hope you don�t need an answer key at this level.

5 in a row phonic spinners 2 with scorecards and instructions
"5 In a Row". Let me describe it as a teacher led activity, though a student can take the part of the teacher or students can play in pairs or groups. A student rolls a (large) dice and calls the number. "Four!" The teacher, out of direct sight of the students, takes a paper clip and pencil or chopstick and spins the clip around the pencil point...
