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.

Christmas Loopcards 3 (expanded and re-uploaded)
It is a domino type game except that the children must form a loop with the cards. You can print out a few sets and have children race to see which team wins first. If I do during a Christmas party, then I reward the children with chocolates. The original (re-uploaded) cards were designed for nonreaders and of course can be used in any language, th...

Physical descriptions: male. Cards 11-20 of 20 with editable backs and instructions.
Physical descriptions: male The question "What is he like?" can mean "What does he look like?" and/or "What is his character/personality like?", but students may give such answers as "He likes spaghetti." or "He likes dancing." To solve this problem I have created these cards. He�s: young/slim/sociable, speaks in general terms. He has: a big...

InTense Board Game activity cards 1-12 of 36
I uploaded these yesterday but there was some problem so I�m trying again. Roll the die and change the pronoun and tense and form a sentence. My friend caught a huge fish. The tiger is catching fish today. Every single sentence that your students utter has the chance of being unique and that is how it should be unless one is stuck in repeat, repeat...

Whose are these? Flashcards 17-24 of 24 with backs and key
Here are some newly made flash cards for practicing the possessive s with "Whose are these?" and occupations. "Whose hats are these?" "They are the clown�s hats." or "Those are the clown�s hats." I decided to have fun and give each card its own border. If you print the back, it will be easy to keep the cards together and the right way up.

Circle Sound Puzzle 12: phonics the /u/ sound
Hi I changed the recommended ages as my JHS students are enjoying these worksheets. I will be going into some less obvious phonics and spelling patters and moving into consonants. I will keep making them if you keep downloading. Another one is here: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=441256#thetop More info and key inside. If you eve...

Dealing with Countries (Get a Country) 3-4 of 6 (with backs)
This is the last. If you missed the others then go to my account and select "newest first". These took a while to design. I haven�t yet printed out cards for myself, but I�m confident that it is a worthwhile game and will probably make it available commercially. Of course you get it for free. If you see any major errors like a wrong flag or someth...

Big or Little: mini dialogues in colour and B & W.
This worksheet can be used with my many of my other materials on big and little, which are uploaded here. I would suggest that you play big-little bingo or some other related game before doing this worksheet. Children must decide if the creature is big or little and whether it is best to run or swim. There is no real correct answer but certainly w...

ABC mini-books Hh and Ii: Colour, B & W and blank books (6 pages plus suggestions for use)

Clean or Dirty Cards 1-12 (of 24) with answer key (for worksheet) and game suggestions
Clean and Dirty may seem to be simple concepts it is a relative concept. An pig may always seem dirty to me but not always so to another pig. Anyway, in this set there are 10 pairs of flash cards (20 different cards) with backs and a worksheet. The worksheet follows my hot/cold worksheet design from long ago.
