I am a long time ESL teacher and KS2/KS3 tutor. I create professional handouts and activities which do not require any alteration, simply print and copy. I make my resources user-friendly, meaning they are easy for pupils to understand, effective at teaching the target skill and entertaining for pupils to use. Where colour is used, the worksheets generally can successfully be printed in black and white unless otherwise stated.

Speaking practice for young learners of English at the A1-A2 level. I could also be used for extra revision for young B1 pupils.
It’s a guessing game for pupils to practice proper formation using past simple questions (Did you…?) and answers (Yes, I did / No, I didn’t). It can then be followed by a speaking or writing exercise in which the pupils must make full sentences about one person.
Game Play:
Prepare one game board per pupil.
Pre-teach any necessary vocabulary. Remind pupils that in yes/no questions, they do not need to change the verb form.
Player A decides who she/he is from the board, and keeps it secret.
Player B asks yes/no questions to guess who player A is.
To guess the name, pupils should be encouraged to use full question form - ‘Are you [name]?’ rather than simply saying the name (you know, extra practice and all!)
Switch roles and repeat.
verbs used:
eat, drink, laugh, cry, go, look for, see
other vocabulary:
biscuit/cookie, mushroom, tea, water, beach, forest/wood, key, book, caterpillar, hare

Revision and extra support for pupils learning about the history of EU expansion and current members of the EU.
File consists of cut out cards for pupils to organise into groups according to when each country joined the EU. These can also be used for general geography revision along with a large blank map. This can further lead to discussion looking at the geographical location of countries in accordance with when they joined the EU - discuss with pupils about why and what influenced expansion to these different regions.
Cut outs are complemented with a student worksheet, organised alphabetically. The first activity is to practise proper spelling (Look, Cover, Write) of country names. The second row is for pupils to learn the corresponding capital cities.
ps. I’m new to selling on TES, so would really appreciate your reviews to hopefully help me sell more! Thanks!
The first file contains example sentences with underlined words which need to be matched to cards with the type of speech (verb, noun, etc).
After practicing matching the example sentences to the types of speech, pupils can then try practice exam questions from past KS2 exams which test knowledge of parts of speech.
