ESL Bingo - the bingo grid.

Here's a link to the bingo grid I use for ESL Bingo: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dct34n59_28dt7j48dw

Great icebreaker - the M&M game.

This is a fast and fun ice-breaker that may already be familiar to you.

Have a bowl of M&M chocolates and invite students to pick their favorites. Based on the color, students should say the following tidbits about themselves:

RED - Where are you from?

BLUE - What do you like to do for fun?

YELLOW - Tell us about your family.

BROWN - What is your favorite food?

ORANGE - How did you get here today?

GREEN - What color is your car? House?

Study the various parts of a computer with your ESL students.

This was a great activity - we filled out the worksheet together, while talking about each component. Here's the handout: http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B1NkZlvm2QTSOTI4MzU5NzgtMTFlNy00Y2VjLTgyMWQtMzA2MzUyOTkwZjgx&hl=en
