Learning English does not have to be a boring exercise in grammar drills and vocabulary memorization. Here in Korea, getting the students to use English as a means of communication in the classroom is vital to language development.
That’s why I like to mix logic puzzles and word games into classroom worksheets and discussion activities. It makes the class fun. The students use active English. Everybody learns and gets a little smarter.
English Classroom Puzzle Worksheet
Here is a activity worksheet for today’s class. Enjoy. This ESL worksheet has:
- a short reading passage
- two vocabulary exercises that promote improved awareness of phonetic sounds
- a creative discussion activity to practice logically structured thinking and speaking
Not bad for a single worksheet. If you like it – or don’t like it – drop me a comment. Cheers.

‘Si World’ Korean students (5th grade and 1st year middle school were half lost on these. #3 = in Korea is soda, not known as ‘juice’ #4, #8 O K was a little easy #5 Koreans don’t use the word ‘sight’ much This was a little bit difficult for these students……I might mention the two students I used this with ARE fairly good with English.
Thanks for the feedback.
Agree that some questions are tough, especially the cider question.
Will make changes next round.
Cheers.
Personally I think it’s a decent worksheet. I’ve taught in Korea for three years and I know that Koreas think of “cider” as something like 7UP, but you can’t produce a worksheet which allows for every culture of English speakers on the planet. It’s a helpful worksheet, thanks.
Do you have the answer sheet somewhere?
