Here to Help You!

Are you ready to make your ESL classes even better and your lesson planning quicker than ever? Well, cruise around on this site for a few minutes and I give you my personal guarantee that you’ll find games and activities that you can use in your very next class. Who doesn’t want to save time and make your classes even more awesome?

Maybe your experience has been kind of like mine-you have spent way, way too much time searching around on the Internet for something fresh, new and interesting for your students but you came away empty handed and wasted an hour or more.

It was maybe kind of like searching for a needle in a haystack. I too had the same frustration which is why I created this site! I want it to be a resource that teachers can turn to in those last few minutes before class when you need something.

I hope you’ll keep coming back for more ESL activities and games! The key to awesome classes is some serious variety, and ESL Activities will help you do exactly that!

If you want to get in touch with me, please send me an email at [email protected] I’d love to hear from you and I’ll do my best to help you out with whatever you need. Or, just say hello and it’d make my day!

Happy teaching!
