Puzzle Time

This amusing activity will help students test their knowledge in simple past irregular verbs.


Puzzle Time
On each puzzle piece you can write the present form of a verb and you can match it with each irregular form writen on the back of the puzzle.

During the first stage you can reveal the answers gradually.
During the second stage you can ask students to match the forms by themselves thus completing the puzzle successfully. Of course, you can use the stages interchangeably.

Have Fun!
Good Luck,

Poetry-based activities (conditionals) in English lessons- Part 1

Rudyard Kipling - If If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream-and not make dreams your master; If you can think-and make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out-tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings and never b

A nice idea is to have a lego train or a simple toy train on which you can carry all the lego bricks which will repesent a different grammatical unit! LEGO grammar 1) You can teach the plural form of the nouns by writing  the different endings and various nouns on the bricks. Then you have to explain the different rules and formations through visualization and hands on practice. Have students experiment with the different endings and help them understand their proper use. LEGO plural form 2) You can teach tenses and their formation as well.

The examples will be so vivid that it is quite certain students will eventually eliminate the ed simple past ending or the  s   si

Aesop's fables and puppets

Εικόνα
Yesterday was World Animal Day and this was a great chance to use puppetry to bring Aesop's fables to life in my lessons. Aesop was a master of telling morality tales based on animal characters, often with a humorous twist. His tales reveal our stereotypical views and the symbolic meaning of animals: proud lions, busy bees, industrious ants and more. The values of these fables can be highly underlined by the use of glove puppets or finger puppets. Look at some of photos of my puppet friends If you need any scripts on Aesop fables for puppetry play, you can resort to   http://www.kidsinco.com/aesop-fables/.  For example you may want to take a look The lion and the mouse: http://www.kidsinco.com/2008/08/the-lion-and-the-mouse/ The rooster and the fox: http://www.kidsinco.com/2016/01/the-rooster-and-the-fox/ The fox and the cat: http://www.kidsinco.com/2010/05/the-fox-and-the-cat/   If you have the classic books with Aesop fables you can also o
