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)
Santa Quiz (See Christmas Lesson 07f below)
Silly Christmas Survey (See Christmas Lesson 07g below) -and-

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.

Dear Kurt,
A HUGE THANKS !!
Because of what you do at EFL4U, my school is one of the best in the city. I think it’s really important for students to have fun, to act, to react and learn English by using it! With your active lessons, my students do all of that, and more….
Grammar is taught after or before the lessons… and all of my students learn while having lots of fun.
Kurt, EFL4U IS THE BEST THING THAT I HAVE RECEIVED. EVERY YEAR, YOU ARE MY SANTA CLAUS.
Betty Tokeshi - EFL Teacher
