Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

Aren't they aware, as all American kids are, that if you swing higher than the bar you will turn inside-out?
At work we just started selling these swing sets with bearings that let the seat swing all the way around. It's supposed to be to stop people from tangling the swing chain around the top beam, but i've always wondered if you could get up enough momentum to swing all the way around. By the look of this photo i'd say it's probably almost possible!
Roy: I don't think Kiwi kids know that, either. I certainly didn't. Why did nobody warn me? I could have spent the rest of my life INSIDE-OUT and nobody warned me?
Torrygirl: He was trying very hard. (That kind of swing sounds awfully like a challenge, to me. And one that I'm sure many kids will be willing to take on.)
