Printables for ESL and EFL teachers

Vocabulary sticks when learners hear it, find it and say it. Bingo makes them listen, flashcards make them recall, puzzles make them spell, and speaking games make them use the words.

One topic, one lesson

  1. Warm-up: flashcards for the topic. Picture vocabulary has ready-made picture cards for 9 topics; for other words, put the word on the front and the translation on the back.
  2. Listen: bingo with the topic words. Call the word, or call a definition for stronger groups.
  3. Spell: a word search or crossword from the same list.
  4. Speak: "would you rather" or "find someone who" so every learner asks and answers.

Questions

Can I add translations?

In the flashcard maker, write each line as "word | translation" and the translation prints on the back. Bingo and puzzles take any words you type.

Do you have pages in other languages?

Yes. Bingo, word search, crossword and tracing also exist in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Arabic and Hindi, which helps for mother-tongue support.
