Tons of flashcards, basic English worksheets and vocabulary at MES-English
Teacher Mark Cox is responsible for MES-English, a must-see site for teachers who work with children or even with adults. In the flashcards area, there’s a huge list (over 90 sets) that covers not only basic vocabulary but also grammar topics like adjectives, question words, prepositions and pronouns.
After you pick a flashcard set, you may download worksheets with specific exercises for that flashcard set. That’s right: ready-to-use worksheets are available for every topic! (see menu on the right)
In Talking Worksheets, you’ll find activities for speaking practice with like, can and adjectives. Introduction Worksheets offers more grammar: this/that, he/she, be doing and past are a few examples. If you’re looking for coloring activities for 
kids, Coloring Worksheets is the place to go. Check Phonics for materials with the English alphabet for classroom use.
And there’s more: in Projects, Mark offers five ideas of longer projects for your English students. A step-by-step description and downloadable materials are available for each one, including samples of what his own students have made in the past.
Games offers over ten ideas to stimulate English usage, again with detailed descriptions and ready-to-use materials.
From what I’ve seen, MES-English is a busy place - looks like it’s frequently updated so it’s really worth visiting often. One piece of advice: because of their high quality, some files will take a while to download. Start with the small ones!
Teach (or learn) spatial prepositions in English with pictures
This is a website for kids and their teachers, but the images available really help when it’s time to teach anyone about English prepositions of location/space. Just choose from the long list on the right column and click. Right-click on the image to save and use it in whatever way you want in the classroom. Highly recommended…
