Nevertheless, both teachers and students always welcome alternatives to the, often so boring, worksheets. Here you go, 10 Alternatives to Boring English Worksheets. 1. Videos These days, a lot of learning occurs visually and many more students respond to visual learning. Have your students make their own videos or research and show videos relating to an English grammar point to the class for a great alternative to a worksheet, it will really get your students excited. 2. Interactive Pieces Yes, interactive notebooks can be a lot of work, and teachers often like the time to create them with all students. However, the effort is really priceless. The students can experience the engaging part with the pieces, either alone or on colored, construction paper. The students are interacting, which is exactly what you want. 3. Scrambles This is a lot of fun and your students are going to love it. You start with a regular worksheet but then have the students cut the sentences apart. Next, you have them glue or tape the pieces back together to make them grammatically correct. This really gets their English brains going and also engages them because they love destroying things and then putting them back together. 4. Flipping Books This is a great way to keep your students organized throughout the year. Reach out the way your students take notes and have them make lists. For example, your students can personalize flipping books, color code them, and add helpful tips and tricks. 5. Stations Incorporating stations into your lessons is perfect for students who dislike sitting and those who love working with a partner. To do this, you cut apart different sections of a worksheet and station them around the room. Then, divide your students into groups, set a timer, and have them switch to the next station after the time is up. 6. Coloring Sheets Kids love coloring. Did you know there is a way to color by grammar? Oh yes. Here's an example, you find a black and white picture and add numbers to different sections.
