Drawing dictation
DRAWING DICTATION
This is always a big hit with my students. You simply ask for a volunteer (they normally go crazy over this, as everybody wants to be the one picked up), then you give to this child the paper with the picture on, while you distribute blank sheets of paper to the rest of the class.
The child with the picture sits at the front...

Conversation questions
Here you have seven pages of conversation questions, ranging from personal opinion on some topics(e.g. cruelty to animals or child spanking), to get-to-know-you-better kind of questions (e.g. talking about one�s favourite book, painting, piece of music) or even asking the student the way they�d react in a given situation (e.g. if they found a wal...

Find someone who...
Students have to mingle and ask each other questions to find a person that fits each question. Fully editable. Don�t forget to remind your pupils, though, that you�re also a person and they could also question you. I always have to do so, as among young kids in my country it seems absolutely impossible to find one who actually loves broccoli!

You�re beautiful by James Blunt
Worksheet where the pupils have to fill in the gap as they listen to the song "You�re beautiful" by James Blunt. Note that I�ve used the radio version, where he says "I was flying high", as opposed to "I was fucking high", which is the CD version.
By the way, not only is this a really sweet song, but also the vocabulary is quite simple and eas...

Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Fill-in-the-gap activity of the popular song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", as sung by McFly. I have also included the complete song on the second page. Please note that, although the fill-in-the-gap activity should only be attempted if used with older students, the song is perfectly allright for younger ones. My 7 year olds had great fun singing...

Shrek mini play
Theatrical adaptation of the popular film "Shrek". This should result in a 20-minute production. There are a minimum of nine characters in the story, but it can easily be performed by more children than that, as you could always give a role to different children, so for example, one child is Shrek in the first part of the story, and a different c...

Winnie the Pooh Well done cards
Another one in the series of well done cards to be given out to pupils as a reward for their efforts. Ideally, they should be printed out as stickers, but, alternatively, they could also be laminated, or, you could as well just instruct your students to put some glue on the back of the cards, as the most economical option. I hope your kids like the...
