I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

Numbers Pictionary 1-30: full colour and grayscale
Yesterday I uploaded a 1-12 poster and today the 1-30. I created it to display in my classroom so that my students have a ready reference to the correct spelling of these numbers. If you have a large classroom then you can print it out clearly to A3 size. If you wish to change the colours then drag the worksheet from MSWord into MSPaint and you can...

Twin Opposites with a key that acts as an extra worksheet.
Page 1 is relatively easy as it has a word bank. Page 2 acts as a key, but the teacher can do so much more with it. Use it for practising interviews, as a reading comprehension task, for finding the opposites and more. You know the level of your students so you are the one to set any comprehension tasks IMO. You can erase or crop the "Word Bank"...

I�m going to change the format of some future dialogues; this is the last in the present format. Use the dialogue to practice interviews and to talk about future jobs. I chose the location of the dialogue in the USA because the children use the word airplane and not aeroplane. Though the characters are not Americans. Let the children change the n...
