Stocking Stuffers - December 19, 2018
Holiday Lesson Set - Lesson 07e
What will Santa put in your stocking this year?
Students receive a set of cards with items they were given in their Christmas stockings.
The other students in the group ask Yes / No Questions to identify what the items are.
When all of the items have been identified, students then trade their less wanted items for more desirable ones.
Although this lesson is very fun, there are a lot of fundamental elements of the English language being used including subject / verb agreement, singular vs. plural and count vs. non-countable nouns, articles, direct objects and possessive pronouns.
For other Christmas lessons, see:
Call to Santa (See Christmas Lesson 07a above)
Christmas Crossword Puzzle (See Christmas Lesson 07b above)
Christmas Lists (See Christmas Lesson 07c above)
Christmas Word Circle (See Christmas Lesson 07d 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.

Hey Kurt,
Your lesson worksheets are the best EFL resource I’ve ever used!
Margaret Holt
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
Dear EFL4U,
Just to let you know, I surf the web all the time. Your site is still the only one I tell my friends and colleagues about. It’s the only one really worth it! This is not flattery. Just honest. Ask my students, they’ll tell you, too! You’ve got to be a genius,

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
Dear Kurt,
There are millions of EFL ESL books here in the library, but I use your worksheets more than any of the others combined.
I love them. My students love them.
Sincerely,
Margaret Holt - ESL Teacher,
