Craziest Easter Traditions

Level A2 and up Time: 45-60 min

I fell in love with having my students work with ‘not so perfect’ language. Here is a piece form a Slovakian-Austrian couple Simi and Danny. Their accents are form perfect. They use the wrong words and grammar sometimes. Well… Who cares. The message gets across. I use this kind of content during my classes to invite my students to not be afraid to make mistakes.

The video is also a great starting point for a conversation about gender roles. If your students are interested, you can continue the topic with this lesson: https://englishvee.com/2020/05/05/the-gender-tag/

December Festivals

Level: A2 and up Time: 90 min

As much as I enjoy talking about Christmas traditions in the UK and the US, this year I felt like doing something a little different. Instead of sticking to the usual topics, I decided to explore how people celebrate December in other parts of the world 🌍❄️

Have you ever heard of Hogmanay, Yalda, or Chaomos? I hadn’t either!

This worksheet offers:
🎄 a bit of reading
🎧 a bit of listening (yes, with Elmo from Sesame Street)
🌍 some CLIL vocabulary connected with astronomy and geography
🗣️ plenty of opportunities for discussion

All in all, it’s a fun, festive, and slightly different December ESL lesson that goes beyond Christmas — perfect for end-of-year classes that still need structure and learning with a seasonal feel.
Download the worksheet below and try it with your students! 🎅📄

What if you fell into Jupiter?

Level: A2 and up

Humans have explored the Moon, Mars, and of course, Earth. But what do we know about Jupiter?For the most part, this gas giant is a mystery.

So what would happen if you wanted to discover it for yourself and jumped right onto the planet? Or should we say into?

Because Jupiter doesn’t have a surface, just a seemingly endless stretch of atmosphere. Would you fall straight through? What would you see on your way? And how would it make you feel?

Just a great class based on a fun science video from ‘What if …’ YouTube channel.

With a great worksheet from Dolce Dario.

Works great with all levels and ages from A2 up.

Brent Rivera is an American social media personality and actor.

This is a ‘Who knows me better’ video with his sister Lexi and girlfriend Eva. Students try to complete the missing information about Brent.

After each question, give students opportunity to talk about themselves. Not only will you practice Q/A  but also find out lots of interesting stuff about your students.

Have fun!!!
