Review the days of the week using the cards. They come in different size.

Use the flashcards to introduce and practice the Grammar Tense.

simple present flashcards

Place the days of the week on the board. Introduce each verb flashcard and place it under a day of the week and say a sentence.                                   Teacher: Tom cooks on Monday.  Or  Teacher: Tom cooks on Mondays.

I want to state that checking on several book series there are both ways, use the one that suits your curriculum.

Write or circle the letter S of the verb. Write in a different color the word ON.  Have the students try to say a sentence for each day of the week.

Introduce more grammar points using the cards.




I made a letter S on a stick. I cut the biggest “S” I found in an old magazine a glued it onto a craft stick. Use it to introduce or to remind students to use the 3rd person singular S.

I am making the cards a little smaller for you to use for distance learning and on a small board. 

I glued a craft stick behind each one.

Here a video on how to use them to teach online.

Simple past tense with town and prepositions for ESL

Link to the resource:

I have it at this other store:  

Watch the video of the product.

After reviewing the prepositions as seen on my last blog post let’s get into the simple past tense. Review the places in town with the flashcards.
town unit flashcards.

I made smaller flashcards for speaking purpose. The flashcards are with people at a town building.

Check the video!

Teacher: Where was she?
Students: She was at the library.

Simple past tense with days of the week. Write questions and answers on the board using the long cards and the flashcards.
Teacher: Where were you on Monday?
Students: I was at the supermarket!
Simple past tense with days of the week.

Simple past tense with past time expressions such as last night, last month.

     Simple past tense with  the most common yesterday.

      Simple past tense with the parts of the day.
            
              Simple past tense with the specific days or dates.
                        
                           Simple past tense with the seasons.

                  Simple past tense with the months of the year.

Nothing better than fun practice. I found a similar idea on the www.mailbox.com, There are several cards for writing sentences. This can be done in a group. Students pick four or five cards and make sentences on their notebook. The students are reminded to use more words in their sentences.

I divided a clear plastic sheet in four using duct tape as I was able to place 4 cards in one sheet.

This snakes and ladders game is for fun and for speaking. Students have to fill in with was or were/wasn’t-weren’t or use for the simple present.
Students make sentences with this printable and write them on their notebook. They can write questions and answers.

Even though some teachers say that worksheets are old fashion, I like them.
And I like to do more with more them than just filling in the blanks. Observe that I cut all the worksheet and paste on the notebook by matching the drawing to the sentences.
Or add the questions and answers for each drawing.
                      Another example.

More worksheets!

Simple past tense with town and prepositions for ESL


Link to the resource:
https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Simple-past-tense-of-the-Verb-to-be-with-Town-and-Prepostions-5052414
I have it at this other store: https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/simple-past-tense-of-the-verb-to-be-with-town-and-prepostions?variant=32013476561034
                                     Watch the video of the product:

Review the use of prepositions first and then show how to use them in the simple past. I created a set of long cards to place on the board or to ue in groups.

ON-used for days of the week. Write the word on and place the days of the week long cards on the board as in a mind map.
Teacher: On Monday!
Students: On Tuesday ! (continue with more)

IN-used for parts of the day.

                IN - used for months of the year.

AT-used for time of the day.

AT-used for specific place
              Teacher: at school!
              Students: at the pharmacy ! (continue with more)

AT-used for general locations or buildings in a town.

Teacher: at the post office!
Students: at the bank ! (continue with more)

On-used for specific dates and days.

IN - used for seasons.


Now, have the students practice the use of the prepostions.
I made two size of pockets to sort the cards. This one is smaller and can be used on the notebook. This activity can be done individually or in small groups.
And I made another set of pocket a little bigger to be used as a group activity. Just make a pocket by gluing each pocket template onto cardboard and print a set of cards and have the students do the sorting .
Or use plastic plates, you can write a preposition with a dry erase maker and students can do the sorting.

Another idea is to create a flap book, either horizontal o vertical.
Follow me! I will post the next part which is using the simple past tense of the verb to be and the prepositions + town.
