I love activities that are easy to throw in my bag and use on the go. Even better, I love activities that are easy to find in my not so organized filing system. It seems like if I print a really great activity on a regular sheet of white paper, I’ll just use it once and lose it. Then I’ll think, hmm… that was a really great activity, I wonder where I put it?

These 140 cards are designed to practice answering basic open and closed ended questions. Practice using short answers with very basic users: (Do/Does, Is/Are, Can/Can’t, Have got). Then gradually progress to WH-questions and adverbs of frequency (who, what, where, when, why, what time + how) They are great for practicing simple question and answer conversations and listening skills in small groups or as a partner activity. They include subjects such as: food, weather, likes, description, daily routine, favorites and more! The questions are groups into categories for ease of use. They are small and can be used on-the-go or pulled out during any lesson for extra practice. This set is an essential for elementary level ESL teachers. It’s extremely useful to get your students speaking while using specific, targeted, level appropriate grammar. *Some of the questions are designed for use with kids however they can be modified during the lesson by simply changing a word or two.
