The wheels on the bus!

Hi there,

I love this song, it is one of my favourites for children: "The wheels on the bus"



I've prepared a fun activity: while children sing the song, they mime the actions and play with a  paper bus with real moving wheels. You can use this template I've created by myself and give one to each student:

They may cut the bus and the wheels and fix each one on its spot using butterfly clips. Moreover, they may draw pictures of their family or friends in the bus windows. It would be a funnier activity!

You can print the bus template here.

Hope you like it! Best regards,

Angela C.

PS: I use an Art App with my tablet to create a lot of templates like this one. Please check this link for more information ("Drawing with Carl")

Fruits - Criss Cross

Hi there,

Today I've created a criss cross about fruits to practice and review vocabulary to enhance both writing and reading skills. As a clue, children should fill in the gaps with the corresponding vowels and then they will find the right word for each picture of the fruit.

FRUITS                                   1 OR_ N G_ 5 P_ _CH 2 B_N_N_S 6 STR_WB_RR_ 3 GR_P_S 7 K_W_ 4 A_PL_ 8 CH_RR_ _S

This worksheet is printable too

Listen a story!

Hi there!

I love Elmer's books. Elmer is a sweet elephant. But he is not grey as elephants, he is patchwork! 

I've become a storyteller and  I bring you a podcast with the story of Elmer:

You can download Elmer's book in .pps format here and it can be used it in an interactive white board while listening the podcast.  Then we can ask some basic questions to children in order to improve oral expression and check if they have undesrtood the story: "who is Elmer?", "is Elmer grey?", is he a funny or boring elephant?", "why does he want to be grey?" and so on. 

Hope you like it! Best regards,

The weather

Hi again!

Weather is all around us!  Yesterday was raining, today is sunny...Let's talk about the weather! We may prepare a weather lesson plan with some activities in our preschool class.

Therefore, I've created a couple of worksheets that can help us with the activities:

1. "What's the weather like?" - Children should write the answer of the question about the weather:

2. "What's the weather like this week?" - Childrens can keep a weather diary. They can practice and review vocabulary. Worksheet has two parts: the first one is the weekly diary to be written by the students and the second one has pictures to be cut and pasted into the first part.

These worksheets are printable here

Hope you like it! Best regards,

Spot the differences!

Hi there!

Welcome to my blog! I'm a ESL Teacher-to-be and I would like to share material created by myself that can be quite useful for other teachers to use it in Preschool classrooms when teaching English. Please, feel free to comment on any entry and let me know what you think of it!

I would like to start the blog showing a couple of nice worksheets: "Spot the differences". It may be very interesting either to introduce new vocabulary or review it and to improve listening and speaking skills. Moreover, children work the attention and communication and it's a fun and motivating game.

1. Spot the differences: (we can learn parts of the body here)


2. Spot the differences (we can talk about the weather and nature in this one)
