I am the Head Teacher Of Maria International School Of Bucharest in Romania. I am also very keen at developing different TES teaching resources to discover what works well for different classes. I am constantly looking for new and exciting different ways of presenting and teaching different primary topics, especially maths topics.
I am the Head Teacher Of Maria International School Of Bucharest in Romania. I am also very keen at developing different TES teaching resources to discover what works well for different classes. I am constantly looking for new and exciting different ways of presenting and teaching different primary topics, especially maths topics.
I developed these teaching resources from my ESL teaching pack. The worksheets are in English and need to be verbally translated into Polish. The packs contain 57 different settings for the students to talk about in Polish and extend their Polish vocabulary. There is also a fun worksheet where the students remember as many words as they can in Polish about a specific topic and play a game of Polish word bingo with their teacher.
* Please note - these resources provide visual prompts, not specific language instruction.
Polish Bingo pack: This is a simple starter game for students. There are 114 different pictures to choose from. Select a single picture and project the image on
the wall or share it with the class as a handout.
Let's Talk in Polish!: This set of cards looks at 57 different settings. The teacher describes something in the top card. The students then use this to model a sentence using the bottom set of pictures. There are lots of things to see and describe in every picture. When the students have completed this task, they can repeat it by working in pairs to discuss each picture.
Let's Write in Polish pack: There are lots of ways of using this teaching pack. It could be used as writing assessment for students learning Polish. The students could write about a topic in Polish before and then after a topic, using the second worksheet at the end of the topic.
Welcome to the Punjabi Bingo pack.
This is a simple starter game for students.
There are 114 different pictures to choose from. Select a single picture and project the image on
the wall or share it with the class as a handout.
Talk about the picture and then ask your students to select and write down 5 items from the
picture. Then look at the picture and pick out all the key vocabulary you want them to talk about.
The first student to have all their items read out is the winner.
With 57 different settings and 114 different game cards, there are plenty chances for great
vocabulary.
***** Please note - these resources provide visual prompts and support to the students, not direct language instruction **************
Lots of my users have asked if I can suggest ways they can use these language flashcards effectively in the classroom, and so I have added an additional 31 page teaching guide on using them. I hope you like them.

Welcome to the 'Let’s Write in Punjabi!' pack.
There are lots of ways of using this teaching pack. It could be used as writing assessment for students learning Punjabi. The students could write about a topic in Punjabi before starting a unit, and then write again about the topic, using the second worksheet at the end of the topic to see how much they have progressed.
It could also be used as an introduction to guided writing. Students can write sentences as a class and share the sentences together and they can then write them on their own. Alternatively, students could work in pairs - one student dictates to the other what to write down about what they see in the picture.
These pages could also be used to write different stories, using the pictures as a stimulus.
This Space bundle is out of this world! It is uses a huge number of different resources. It has images from NASA, English story writing prompts and the keywords students need to know about this topic. Try it today!
Lots of different aspects of water are covered in this bundle. There are enough pictures to create and interesting water cycle display. There is also a complete unit on the weather.
