Some memory exercises for pair work, a match-up activity and an exercise on personality adjectives. This powerpoint will hopefully be motivational at the start of the new year!

This is an updated version of my 2016 powerpoint, which was very popular. There are lots of activities to keep them busy and get them thinking. It would be nice to get a few reviews on this one.

This is an update version of my very successful previous ones. There are lots of activities to provoke thought and plenty of visuals to promote discussion. Images fly in to assist comprehension .

Fourteen slides with activities to get students thinking about New Year's resolutions. This is an updated version of one I uploaded in 2015.

Mats in various formats for teachers who have EAL students in their class. Some of these I have uploaded previously - on here they are updated. The infographic could be used as staff training: what does each image mean? There is a sentence generator and a mat for teaching new items of vocabulary which I have seen elsewhere in various forms. Hope these are useful!

There are forty sentences here, with 90 mistakes to find and correct. A full key is provided. This will make a good starting point for some SPAG activities, or provide a nice little filler activity. ** Note**: it looks a bit strange on the preview, but it’s fine when downloaded.

September 26th - it's European Day of Languages. Gap fill and match up activities, focusing on the spellings of the languages and matching them to the countries.

36 micro readings. On sheet one, they put the verb in the right place. On pages 2 and 3, they put the stem into the past simple and then put in the right place. After that, look, cover, write and check. You can just leave them with the picture prompts for this. For EAL students.

35 slides, with hints, activities and strategies for supporting EAL students. Also included are activities for staff training. Please note I have included some strategy mats that I've uploaded previously.

20 slides, each with one or 2 images. There are DARTs activities - for differentiation - with every slide and tasks based on ideas linked to the images. The images are from Clker.com, unless otherwise stated.

I made this for my Yr 7 Nurture group, for fun literacy starters. There are 27 slides, comprising 25 activities. No photocopying necessary - all activities can be done from the board. There is a variety of lexical activities: anagrams; match-ups; gap fills; error correction; find the hidden words; sentence formation; supply the adjectives and adverbs; replace the missing vowels and more. I have used a frame from fppt.com.

Well, it is what it is. A ws to practise the past simple tense for EAL students. Useful as a homework sheet? All the verbs needed are in the blue column and they can be used more than once. Cut the column off for more advanced students.

Activities which will suit literacy for biology, or general literacy. Or for when you need a few minutes... Brain gym, match-up, true or false, design, discussion, look and remember... I have sourced some of the basics from the net and done exercises around them. Hope it will be useful. I think this will suit years 5,6, 7.

Three pages of activities for EAL students to practise the present continuous tense.

Urban legend, adapted from the internet. The story is on the first slide, then there are various activities: visuals for Splat, or Q &A session; true or false/put the story in sequential order/guidelines for a hot seat and ideas on how to teach the story. My aim is to get the students to produce a recount.

Plastic pollution was highlighted recently in ‘The Blue Planet’. This is a reading passage with questions, a vocabulary study, prompts for discussion and they have to rearange the sentences to get advice on what you can do to help. Key included.

A few slides to go with the opening scenes of the film.

This is a great nostalgic picture, with exercises to reinforce the present continuous and past simple tenses for EAL students. I play 'Splat!' and memory games with this kind of thing. I was kindly given permission to use the picture.

This is a powerpoint of 52 slides. I uploaded it previously to test the waters as I was going to charge for it. From 23 views, it got 21 downloads! I was pleased. Since then, I have done nothing to make it sale-worthy, like checking image derivation and one or 2 layouts that are not really mine. However, I have faffed about with fancy borders and stuff to make it look presentable. Time to let this go live! So - there are youtube clips with exercises, match-ups, comprehensions, picture description, making inferences, games… All sorts! I hope you can use it and I hope to get a few reviews:-)

Lots of activities - match-ups, gap fills, true or false, picture descriptions. a wordsearch and a cryptogram. Sixteen slides, with lots of great clipart, bought from this site!
