Here you will find a number of ESL warmers and coolers that can be used with young learners, teens and even adults. Warmers are an important part of any lesson as they set the tone for the rest of class and help students settle into speaking English. Warmers generally should only take five minutes of class time. During warmer or cooler activities it is not essential to correct students. The focus here should be to allow students time to adjust to class and get them focused from other distractions.
