Crossword Puzzle with IPA clues (and definitions)
This is a great crossword puzzle using IPA sounds and definitions. I prepared it for my TESOL program for adults. I used the words and definitions as referenced in the worksheet at the end, but it still took me three hours to put it together. Hope you can use it!

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...

Classifying Factors of Production
I teach Economics to EFL kids in Korea. This is a worksheet I designed to help them understand the different items that can be classified as land, labor or capital. In particular, that land can actually be the natural resource "water." Hope someone finds it useful. Know it has limited appeal.

Protect the Environment/Mother Earth Vocabulary in English and Korean

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...

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...

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...
