ESL Simple Present & Simple Past Grammar Sorts- High School Newcomer Practice

Need a low-prep activity to reinforce grammar concepts while keeping students engaged? These words and sentences have English langauge learners sorting and recognizing language patterns, analyzing and discussing grammar, and building accuracy through hands-on practice.

You get 2 FREE grammar concepts:
✅Simple Present Tense
✅Simple Past Tense

Also included are:

➡️ speaking stems to support beginner language production

NOTE: These are all included in my 24 week ESL beginner curriculum.

Of course, it is fun and games, but students will:

✔ notice grammar patterns and language structures

✔ discuss and justifying their thinking with peers

✔ prepare for more accurate writing and speaking

And what do I love the most? These games are:

✔ require little prep once printed

✔ make abstract grammar concepts more concrete

✔ work with whole groups, small groups, partners, or independent learners


These are a part of my 15 Beginner Grammar Sorts resource for $6 OR

Get all 45 Beginner to Intermediate Grammar sorts for $12.

Need just a few activities?

Email me at paige@everythingforell.com for a custom bundle quote.

Do not buy these if you have already bought my 24 week Beginner Curriculum. Grab everything you need to teach: notes, board work, partner activities, worksheets, reading & writing lessons, writing gallery walks, listening & speaking activities, and unit assessments!
