New Year Worksheets

Are you searching for something for the first few lessons of the new year? Look no further!

We have a 'welcome back' lesson where students can talk about what they did over the holiday.

There are also reading and discussion worksheets looking at plans for the year, and New Year's Resolutions.

Pages: 1 2

     



 
Title: Did you have a good holiday?
Target Structure: Discussion: First Lesson Back in New Year
Level: Lower-Intermediate +
Time: minutes
   
Description: This is a great lesson for your first lesson back in the New Year!

Find out what your students did for Christmas and New Year. There's a conversation, followed by practice exercises.

The lesson rounds off with a survey. Your students can find out what their classmates did. It's good fluency practice and an excellent review of the Past Simple.

This lesson is for pre-intermediate level students. However, it's easy to make the lesson easier. You can pre-teach more vocabulary, and give additional support for the survey questions.
   
   
     



 
Title: New Year 'Find Someone Who'
Target Structure: New Year Mixer Activity
Level: Pre-Intermediate+

Description: A mixer activity is a great way to start the new year. This worksheet can be used in the first lesson back in January.

It's very simple to set up: there are ten 'find someone who' tasks, which will get your students talking to their classmates.

We have two versions of the worksheet. One has a focus more on Christmas, and the other has an emphasis more on the holiday and New Year.

This worksheet is ideal for lower-intermediate level classes.

Based around a new year theme, this worksheet looks at 'interested in', 'worried about' 'afraid of' and much more.

After a lead-in, there's a gap-fill conversation, with practice exercises to follow. The lesson rounds off with your students using the target language about themselves.

This worksheet is written for upper-elementary to pre-intermediate classes.

It makes a great start to the year!
