Transcript for ESL Show and Tell:

Hi, this is Jackie from eslactivity.org. So today I'm going to talk about one of my favourite ESL presentation activities called Show and Tell. And I know you probably have done Show and Tell in kindergarten or elementary school, something like that but you can also use it in your ESL classes for any age or level of students.

The way that it works is I get students to bring something from home that's special to them or it can be a big thing or a living thing like a cat or dog. In that case, students can just take a picture of it or print out a little picture and then show that instead of actually bringing the object and then students can just do a little presentation about what that object is, how long they've had it, and why it's special to them. You can set up whatever criteria you want and it kind of depends on the age and the level of students, and what they're capable of.

You can do two styles. So one style is that all the students could go in a single day so you kind of just have a presentation day and everyone does the show and tell together.

Or, you could do maybe one or two students at the beginning of each class so you kind of go on a schedule and you just kind of get through the whole class over the semester and yeah, it's kind of a nice warm-up activity. And it's a nice way to kind of ease the students into English each class if you choose to do it that way.

So that is a very simple activity if you want to do some presentations in your English classes: Show and Tell. If you want some more ideas for your English classes, be sure to check out my book 39 No-Prep Low-Prep ESL Speaking Activities for Teenagers and Adults. There's also a version for kids as well.
