I’d like to show you my collection of printable worksheets that I use to teach English adjectives to young students. I have designed the whole bunch of them for my English classes where I teach kids how to recognize and use adjectives. My printable adjectives worksheet set contains 37 visually enhanced pages with little charts as well as “fill in the gaps” and matching exercises designed to help young English learners better understand the role of adjectives in the language and how their degrees of comparison are formed.

Irregular Verbs Exercises and Worksheets

Following my recent post about the printable irregular verbs posters, I’d like to show you, my fellow English teachers, some of my printable worksheets that I use to help my young students memorize dozens of English irregular verbs. These grammar worksheets offer my students some memory stimulating exercises and activities such as matching different forms of irregular verbs and relevant pictures, filling in the blanks in the lists of verbs (adding the missing verb form) and sentences in the past simple and present perfect tenses.

Irregular Verb Charts - Printable Posters

Irregular verbs are one of the most challenging aspects of English grammar for non-native speakers and especially for kids. There are a lot of irregular verbs along with their confusing forms in English which makes it impossible for young students to memorize them quickly and easily. When I was at school I had to learn lists of irregular verbs and their past simple and past participle forms by heart. But it was hard to hold them in my memory for a long time anyway. It was a boring and painful experience. Now, being an English teacher, I ask myself what I can do to help kids memorize common irregular verbs without turning the process into a torture for their brains. And as you know, my go-to method of teaching English vocabulary to children is visualizing things. You might have already seen my irregular verb flashcards and puzzles. And recently I decided to design printable irregular verb charts in the form of posters incorporating pictures to visualize 100 verbs.

ABC Train - Classroom Decoration

At the beginning of the school year EFL teachers like me will be inviting new students to their classrooms for the first time. Many of those kids have never learned a foreign language before. For some of them learning English will be a big challenge. That’s why I believe it is an important teacher’s mission to reassure young learners and make studying English a fun, interesting and exciting experience. I do my best to impress students even before we start our first English lesson. My arsenal of printable classroom decoration items for kindergarten and elementary school helps me grab children’s attention and get them excited about learning English with me.

Phonics Game

Being an EFL teacher, I pay special attention to teaching phonics to my students. Unlike native speakers, the kids who study English as a foreign language are not fully emerged into the language so they have a hard time figuring out how to pronounce many English words correctly. And we all know how crazy the English phonetics can be. When I show my students how the letter o can make as many as 9 sounds in different words or introduce the letter combination ou in such words as soup, mouse, shoulder, couple, four, flour, journalist, carousel with 8 different pronunciations, they get a little bit puzzled. No wonder English phonics are often a major challenge for EFL and ESL students. That’s why I design all sorts of printable phonics worksheets, charts, flash cards, posters, and games to help my young students learn phonics in a fun and memorable manner.










I have recently designed a printable board game for my English classes dedicated to phonics. The purpose of the game is to help young English learners memorize basic phonics rules, exceptions and some tricky words as well as to correctly identify sounds and tell the difference between them. I designed 15 different game boards to play with more than 550 word cards.
