| TEFL Activities Book |
Teaching in front of a class for the first time isn’t easy. Your first weeks will be a bit tricky as you learn
the ropes. To help you get started, I’ve created a book to kick-start your TEFL career and help your
first few lessons go a bit more smoothly! It gives you 20 classroom activities that the students I’ve
taught have enjoyed. They’re tried, tested and fun ways to maximise student talk time and minimise your
stress levels!
How to use this book
In this book, you’ll find a variety of controlled and freer practice activities for elementary classes that
you can slot into your lesson plans. This will not only save you a lot of effort, but also valuable time.
For ease of use, refer to the contents list to find out which language and skill is being practised in each
activity. I’ve also provided detailed instructions on how to present these activities. In addition, there are
also pre-activity and additional activity ideas if you wish to extend and adapt the activities. Please be
aware that whereas most of the worksheets simply require photocopying and then distributing, others
may need cutting up too.
Adapt the activities for different classes
Each class is different and what works with one class may not work with another. You may need to
adapt materials to make them easier or more challenging for your class. It also helps to personalise
your materials to maximise your students’ interest. Different learners prefer different activities, so take
this into consideration when planning your lessons.
Good luck with your TEFL career and remember: a good teacher doesn’t have to succeed all the time,
but rather learns from their mistakes! Don’t worry…your students will be surprisingly forgiving!
Good luck,
