Directions- running dictation
Another work sheet to accompany my sheet �Directions Pair Work Gap Fill�, to be done in the next lesson. This time I plan to use this as a running dictation. If you don�t know what a running dictation is you are missing out on the BEST activity ever for ESL classes for ALL ages. I start by putting the written directions outside the classroom (or ...

Directions Pair Work Gap fil
While there are many maps on this site, I wanted a pair work activity so that one student will give directions and their partner will mark the final location on their map. Each map has opposite locations so they can�t actually use building names, which makes it too easy. This way, they have to talk about streets and which building. EG It�s the 3rd ...

Stock Trading Game
This is a simplified share trading game where you use different sided dice to represent changes in value to high or low risk shares. Once your students get their heads around it they will have a lot of fun when it comes to the rolling of dice to see how their share value goes up or down, potentially wiping out their fortune in an instant. Not unli...

Chinese School life
A simple little reading and writing task I made for a 1:1 student that could also be used to create a pair or class discussion. I included a little grammar transformation activity with might and usually just to add an extra task.

47 Games List & basic instructions
I thought I would finally get around to writing this up. I have a list of almost 50 games that I use in different classes of different ages and levels. I have not put them in any particular order, just as I remembered them. I am sure even experienced teachers will learn at least a few new games. I have picked these up from other teachers mostly, bu...

It starts with which major to study at unversity and can finish with riches or cleaning toilets. Click yes or no to follow the story t...

Parachute Man
This is a fairly simple PPT I made of a game I have been playing for years. I have always preferred Parachute man to Hangman because it�s easier to remove strings than draw a man being hung. (as well as being less morbid) I have not put the vocab in as I figure every teacher and class will use dif...

Students call out or throw a ball at the letters, which will temporarily move out of the way before returning to block the picture again. Can b...
