Smartboard Activity - Classroom Objects - Guess the word

This is a set of two activities for two teams. 

There are eight classroom-related words in each activity that students need to guess by reading the definitions. When the team knows the word, one of the students will touch the letters on the screen to spell it. If he/she makes a mistake, the beginning of the word will disappear, and the student will have to start writing it again. Then the second student of the team approaches the Smartboard and spells the second word, etc. At the end of the activity, press "Finish", and you will see the score. 
The first team can take their seats and watch the second team do the second activity.


Smartboard Activity - Anagram - Classroom Objects

This is an anagram activity to be used as a warm up/spelling review. Students move letters to unscramble the words related to classroom objects. There are five words in total: eraser, stapler, scissors, sharpener and dictionary. If the students struggle with the word, they can press "Clue" button in the left bottom corner and see a picture to help them. There is a timer ticking that is supposed to make the activity a bit competitive. The timer feature can be removed , just click "Edit" and uncheck it.

Smartboard Activity - Canadian Coins

This Smartboard notebook contains three step by step activities that teach Canadian Coins. The first activity is a chart that will help you introduce the names of the coins and the pictures on them. The second activity is an infinite clone activity, where students drag as many coins as they need to get the given amount. Finally, there is a quiz that can be done with the whole group of students circling around the board and choosing the answers one by one.

Sport Equipment Pictionary


  This is a two-page worksheet that I used to teach my ESL students sports equipment and venues. The first page is a pictionary which can be cut into cards and used as a memory game. There is a chart on the second page to be used as a review activity/spelling practice.
