All About Me
I prepared this activity to get the grade 3 level kids to practice the material before their exam. It includes all the topics except weather and directions (since they have a good handle on that), but it is editable so you can change it. These self-intro type activities go over well in Korea. Also, at the end of each student�s speech, I ask questio...

This crossword puzzle helps reinforce the Englis...

Present Simple Verb Tense, Third Person Singular and Daily Routines
A power point where the students have to decide whether to put an "s" on the end of the present simple tense verb. A bit of a formative in-class assessment to reinforce use of the "s" for 3rd person singular. You can edit and add other slides by copying the format, but I eliminated slides to keep th...

Jeopardy Game Verb Tense Review
I have used this on my adult students and they really appreciate it. All tenses. The answers are in MC format so students don�t have to formulate the answer. The questions and answers give the teacher opportunities to teach. Why use "will" instead of "be going to"; present continuous vs. future, etc...

Endangered Animals Jeopardy
This jeopardy game MUST be resaved as Macros enabled. I save it here as ppt, but it must be resaved as ppm (macro enable). You can find it in the drop down menu when you go to save it. This is a great game, and any question (and corresponding answer) can be changed. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes t...
