These worksheets are designed to be used time and again with different books.
These are designed to be used in guided reading sessions. Many of the worksheets are designed in such a way that a student can complete them independently. However, to get the maximum out of this book, I would highly recommend these worksheets are used to consolidate the learning taking place in the classroom.
Another use of this set of worksheets is additional homework sheets. I have used these sheets very effectively as a way of checking to see if students have read their book and do fully understand what they have read.
I hope you enjoy this book and that your students are inspired to take a more active, more motivated role in their own learning.

Welcome to the ESL 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 **************
