Are you looking for grammar lessons for young English learners? ESL Library's Fun Grammar Lessons section offers ready-made lessons on all the main grammar targets that make up the building blocks of English. These kid-friendly lessons are packed with visual support and fun activities to keep young learners engaged.
Grammar Lesson Categories
Our Fun Grammar Lessons are divided into the following categories:

Lessons can be sorted into these categories using the tag filter on the main Fun Grammar Lessons page. They can also be sorted alphabetically (A–Z icon) and from easiest to most difficult (1–9 icon). Note that the difficulty filter is very handy if you're looking for our suggested teaching order for all of these lessons!
Levels
These lessons have been categorized into the following levels:

Please preview the lessons to find out if the levels we've chosen are suitable for your learners. To filter by level, use the sort buttons on the left of the main Fun Grammar Lessons page.
For the recommended teaching order of lessons within the same level, use the difficulty filter (1–9 icon) on the right of the main page.
Lesson Tasks
These comprehensive lessons can be stretched out to last several days. You can choose only those tasks (PDF or digital) that you'd like to do, or you can do them all in the order we've set. You can also save some tasks to assign for homework.
