I have been an English teacher in Korea for almost 4 years now. For the last 2 years I have been developing teaching materials for teaching elementary school students. All of these things I have been using in my own classroom. They are especially great if you have a computer and projector in your classroom.

In perusing this thread, I ended up on Barry's site (barryfunenglish), and I have to say, those are some really fantastic resources! My hat's off to you. I've been thinking of developing some similar tools, but considering you've already made them (and made them so well!), I'll have to settle for putting a prominent link to you on my site.
Nicely done!

Free ESL Lesson Plans & Games
Hey!
Like some of the others I've also started putting my lesson plans on the web. I train primary and secondary English teachers in Pakistan, and I started posting lessons at the request of my students. Many of them were only 'in my head' for a long time, but now I've got a lot of games, lesson plans and resources posted. I've also used Barry's Fun English in the past. That site is great, and many of the teachers on this forum have their own sites chock full of lesson plans and tips.

Here's a sample of one of my lesson plans:
Learning Description Through an Interactive Group Game
Objective: Learn how to describe people's hairstyles and personalities
Resources: Each student's name written on cards or pieces of paper.
Time: 60-70 minutes
Presentation 1: Women's Hairstyles (15 minutes)
Say: "Today we are going to learn how to describe other people. We will learn how to talk about how they look, their physical description, and how they act. How they act could also be referred to as their personality."
Draw pictures of the following women's hairstyles on the board: hair down, hair up, ponytail, braid, bun, curly, wavy, straight, short, medium, long
The pictures don't have to be works of art, but good enough so that students can differentiate the different hair styles. Present each hairstyle and new vocabulary word. Pronounce the word, for example, "braid", and ask students to repeat. Ask them, "Is anyone wearing her hair in a braid in our class?" Continue showing all the different hairstyles and asking students if anyone in the class is wearing her hair in that style.
Discuss the following terms for hair color: red, blond(e), brunette, black, raven-haired, dirty blond, brown

Hello,
