Fun Grammar Lessons for Teaching Young Learners

September 13, 2017

Are you looking for grammar lessons for young English learners? ESL Library's Fun Grammar Lessons section offers ready-made lessons on all the main grammar targets that make up the building blocks of English. These kid-friendly lessons are packed with visual support and fun activities to keep young learners engaged.

Grammar Lesson Categories

Our Fun Grammar Lessons are divided into the following categories:

  • Verbs
  • Nouns & Pronouns
  • Adjectives & Adverbs
  • Prepositions
  • Modals
  • Gerunds & Infinitives
  • Sentence Constructions

Lessons can be sorted into these categories using the tag filter on the main Fun Grammar Lessons page. They can also be sorted alphabetically (A–Z icon) and from easiest to most difficult (1–9 icon). Note that the difficulty filter is very handy if you're looking for our suggested teaching order for all of these lessons!

Levels

These lessons have been categorized into the following levels:

  • Beg
  • Beg – Low Int
  • Low Int – Int
  • Int
  • Int – High Int

Please preview the lessons to find out if the levels we've chosen are suitable for your learners. To filter by level, use the sort buttons on the left of the main Fun Grammar Lessons page.

For the recommended teaching order of lessons within the same level, use the difficulty filter (1–9 icon) on the right of the main page.

Lesson Tasks

These comprehensive lessons can be stretched out to last several days. You can choose only those tasks (PDF or digital) that you'd like to do, or you can do them all in the order we've set. You can also save some tasks to assign for homework.

Here are some of the exercise types you will find in these lessons (note that task types vary slightly from the PDF to the digital version, though most content is the same):

  • Grammar notes
  • Practice exercises
  • Pair speaking tasks
  • Writing tasks
  • Fun activities (cards, games, etc.)
  • Quizzes
  • Class surveys

Sample Lesson

If you aren't an ESL Library member yet, check out our Simple Present sample lesson to get a feel for what these lessons look like. (You can view a lesson from each of our lessons sections in our Sample Lessons area.)

Note: Our Fun Grammar Lessons were designed for teaching young learners. If you teach teen and adult learners, we recommend our Grammar Practice Worksheets section. You will find some overlap in these lessons, so please choose the lesson that is more suitable for your age group. Also note that many teachers have told us their teen and adult learners sometimes prefer our Fun Grammar Lessons since they are a easier and illustrated.

More Fun for Kids

Here are some other ESL Library sections that you can use with young learners and middle schoolers:

Flashcards

Our Flashcard section can be used with our grammar lessons. You can edit the vocabulary to any word form or tense you need or even print the images without words for quizzes, games, and tests. Be sure to check out all of our new and updated Flashcards.

Hello Tara,

I was wondering how much if your content/materials are geared towards high school students that are absolute or false beginners.

Thanks

Hi Kosta,

Super Simple Questions might be a good section for you to start with (https://ellii.com/courses/110/lessons). We'll be adding more lessons to this section in 2018.
You can also go to the Functional English section and filter to Beginner lessons (https://ellii.com/courses/92/lessons).

For Grammar, you will find plenty of lessons to use with high-school beginners in our Grammar & Writing genre (https://ellii.com/courses). Filter to beginner in Grammar Practice Worksheets, Basic Grammar Sentences, and Grammar Stories.

We also have Flashcards (https://ellii.com/flashcard_genres) and Word Bank (https://ellii.com/courses/113/lessons) lessons that can be used or adapted for use with any age level of absolute beginner.

I hope you find what you need!

Cheers,
Tara
