Paid LessonLesson Collection #4 - Lesson 18b
This is a very short and sweet lesson that is always popular with students of almost every English ability. There are 20 common expressions on this worksheet, each presented as a puzzle such as generation gap, Railroad Crossing and Fall In Love.
To decipher these puzzles, pairs or groups of students have to look at the placement, size and position of the letters and/or words. For example, here's the puzzle for Fall In Love.
Notice how the word Fall is set directly in the middle of the word Lo ve? Fall is in the middle of Love so the answer to this puzzle is: Fall "In" Love.
Here's a tricky one:
The letter L is ON the letter D and the letter D is ON the word BRIDGE thus "L on D on" BRIDGE which comes to: LONDON BRIDGE. Cute, huh?
There is a similar worksheet. It is:
Once Upon A Time (Lesson 18a above).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time

Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing

Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing

Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students

We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Hi Kurt,
Your customer service is excellent and I think you have a great product. I am using the lessons and I love the fact that I have ready made materials and instructions. These lessons are so great for teaching privately, in institutes and also add to my classroom themes in university.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Kurt!,
What a wonderful site you’ve got there, thanks for all the great ideas. I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons.
We EFL teachers need more sites like these.
I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored. For them, English should be entertainment and while most textbooks are short on that, your lessons are not.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Regards,
Elizabeth Longo Seong Am Girls’ Information Industrial High School
Hey Kurt,
Your lesson worksheets are the best EFL resource I’ve ever used!

Dear Kurt,
The result of your workseets in the classroom is amazing. Students go crazy about this new kind of practice material, which is completely different from what they can find in Textbooks.
On the other hand, all worksheets foster speaking and interactions, which are so difficult to achive. I hope this site will keep on working hard to provide us, not so imaginative teachers, with ready-made quality material for use in the classroom.
Congratulations!
María
