Oops! I attached it now!
Sounds fun! Where is the worksheet?
Although it is a site aimed at American teachers, TeachersPayTeachers.com is a good resource for pre-made worksheets and activities. It also has the option of sorting by ESL content and grade level. And despite the name, there are a lot of free materials available!
Thank you, Jason! Not sure if you found it yet, but I also posted an 'Animals from Around the World' powerpoint that's pretty similar. The two powerpoints work really well for "What ____ do you like?" in elementary school.
No problem, Japperjoey! I'm glad they're getting use!
