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.

Family Flash Cards: 89-100
These are the last cards in the series which totals 100 cards, so you never have the same family twice. I included these 12 �happy family� cards as I wanted to be able to naturally include the pronoun �we� in activities. "What are your family doing this weekend?" "We are going to Osaka." Which is true as today is my last teaching day, then 12 days ...

Which Way? A unique board game for practising everyday actions
I like to build in an uncertainty factor into my boardgames. This game has 3 "CHANCE" squares which will send the player to another position on the board increasing the length of the game and giving students more repetition and practice in a fun way. You will find instructions for the game and the key inside. I have included a greyscale and blank ...

Around the World in Seven Days: 3 different activity cards

"I�m going to China." "What are you going to do there?" "I�m going to see the Great Wall." Advanced students can talk about their "Around the World" trip using...

5 in a row phonic spinners 1 with scorecards and instructions
Let me describe it as a teacher led activity, though a student can take the part of the teacher or students can play in pairs or groups. A student rolls a (large) dice and calls the number. "Four!" The teacher, out of direct sight of the students, takes a paper clip and pencil or chopstick and spins the clip around the pencil point in the �/sh/� s...

Big or Little: mini dialogues in colour and B & W.
This worksheet can be used with my many of my other materials on big and little, which are uploaded here. I would suggest that you play big-little bingo or some other related game before doing this worksheet. Children must decide if the creature is big or little and whether it is best to run or swim. There is no real correct answer but certainly w...

Question Tags Poster
Use the printable poster to introduce tag questions. If you are like me, my board work is all over the place and I end up confusing my students. This should sort out that problem.

New Alphabet Tracks: letter m in full color, black and white and blank.
3 different tracks uploaded today so have reach the halfway mark. Maybe I should crack open a bootle of wine. Hopefully I will find time tomorrow to more. I would not like to stop now in the middle.
