Welcome to another online ESL activity feature!

This week’s free game is related to school to give you a fun review of September's back-to-school vocabulary.
With this easy digital activity, you can:

-Play as a whole class activity where students line up on your digital whiteboard to tap on one and then go back to the line.

-Play individually to warm up or relax at the end of the class.

-Play in pairs as a form of HOT POTATO game where they use one phone, quickly answer one question and then give the phone to their seating partner to continue the game.

This week, we will try to catch the flying classroom supplies!

Hello, Monday!

We had a bit of a break in our nonprofit and now we are back, starting our posting from scratch with some fun posting rubrics!
Monday will be the day to share different kinds of FREE websites that you can use in your classroom.

We are not talking about digital tools - we are talking about different kinds of interesting websites to use to make NO PREP activities, have fun warm-ups, and also create a collection of activities for fast finishers.

The third website this school year is PAINT WITH TEXT CALLINGRAM CREATOR, and here is how you can use it in your classroom.

The creator lets you paint smaller and bigger letters, change colors, and input your own text to paint with.

Vocabulary art - Have students create calligrams using new vocabulary words. They can choose a shape that represents the word (e.g., a tree for the word "forest") and then fill it with the word repeated multiple times.

Self-portrait calligrams - Ask students to write a short paragraph about themselves, then use the Calligram Creator to shape the text into a silhouette of something they love (like a favorite animal or hobby).

Storytelling with shapes - After reading a story or passage, students can create a calligram that represents a key element of the story (e.g., the main character or a significant object). They can fill the shape with important words or sentences from the text, reinforcing comprehension and summary skills.

Grammar in shapes - Focus on a specific grammar point, such as adjectives or verbs. Students can create calligrams by writing sentences or phrases that use the target grammar. For example, a student might create a sun shape filled with sentences using the present simple tense.
