ESL Grammar with Fruits
Making kids love grammar is a challenge to most teachers. I love when we can work on needed vocabulary but incorporate a bit of grammar twist to them. I was having trouble finding worksheets for revising I like/I don't like expressions with my students. So, I created a packet loaded with resources that make grammar fun. These pages involves reading, writing, making flip books, cutting and coloring. Learning outcomes, that I had in my mind creating these worksheets are: - identify food items; - produce questions and statements about food preferences and - read and understand short story texts.

Sudoku is a fun puzzle that lets kids use their logical reasoning and critical thinking skills. I use this game to level up my students brain power, stimulate their mind, improve children’s memory. Most importantly, we have fun! Knowing that they are making an active improvement in their mental and physical health as a result. You can play sudoku in so many different and funny ways. For example, I love to play it for reinforcing my students vocabulary. First, I draw a 4x4 grid on a whiteboard and my students draw it in their notebooks. I try to use notebooks and whiteboard whenever we have time. If you are like me, you have every reason to do that. I believe that student have to practice this type of hand-eye coordination. Then we write any vocabulary that we want to practice. ...and the thinking process can start! The aim of this game is to write the missing words (draw pictures) in the empty squares. Every word must appear only once in each row...
