31 Best Wordless Videos to Teach Problem Solving
Wordless videos are a fun and entertaining way to get your students learning and talking. Using wordless videos to teach problem-solving is a great way to keep your students stay engaged all while working on their goals.
Who Could Benefit From Wordless Videos?
Students who struggle to solve social problems can benefit from first practicing problem-solving someone else’s problems in a wordless animation, for example, prior to having to solve the social problems in their own lives. It’s easier to identify problems in someone else’s life than it is in your own life.
Ways in Which to Use Voiceless Videos
- Answering wh-questions: Have your students watch the animated short film and then ask them wh-questions.
- Retell a story/sequencing: After watching the films have your students retell or sequence the short film.
- Solving hypothetical problems: Use the following wordless videos to teach problem-solving. Stop the video throughout and have your students identify the problem and a possible solution to the problem. Then you can move on to practice solving problems in real life .
- Predictions/inferences: Stop the video throughout and have your students make predictions and inferences about what might happen next in the film.
Don’t Forget to Grab your Freebie!
Be sure to grab the freebie that goes along with this bundle of wordless videos. The freebie comes with:
- Problem-solving
- A set of wh-questions
- Story retell with predictions
There are 31 sets of the following worksheets.
Before you begin…
- I have watched all of these short animations to make sure they are appropriate. However, please preview the entire video prior to showing your students as you know best what is appropriate for your level of comfort and for your individual students.
- Almost all of these videos show ads prior to the start of the animation short. I suggest cueing up the video prior to showing the video to your students as some ads may not be appropriate.

10 Wordless Videos that Teach Problem Solving
Education · Tips
I work in teletherapy, which means that I use a computer to display my materials and activities for my students. I have a couple extremely quiet older elementary students and I decided that video was a way to engage and encourage them to answer questions and retell events. In particular I wanted them to think about solving hypothetical problems. I found 10 WORDLESS videos on YouTube that show interesting problems and make kids think about how to solve a problem — and they have to provide the language!
10 Wordless Videos I Love
- Piper Short Movie — A baby bird finds a way to survive a big wave.
- Ormie the Pig — A pig attempts to get a jar of cookies off of the top of the fridge.
- Let Me In! — Simon’s cat wants to come inside and makes some bad decisions!
- Sweet Cocoon — Figuring out how to fit in your cocoon is hard work.
- Rollin Safari — What would animals be like if they were round?
- Embarked — Should a tree house follow its friend? (minimal English words at the end)
- TV Dinner — What should you do if your cat won’t leave you alone? (Simon’s cat)
- Playmate — An old robot toy wants to play. Will the boy play with it?
- Birds on a Wire — Learn how you should treat others (that are different than you)
- Sticky Tape — What should the cat do when tape is sticking to him? (Simon’s cat)
Since it’s YouTube, so you must preview each video and usually there is an ad in front of it. I would get each video cued up (after the ad) and then share it with students. You will be surprised how much language you will get from your quietest kids as they figure out how to solve the characters’ problems. Enjoy!

Dear Sarah I really find this interesting nd liked it lot thnx for u to sharing with us I m also teacher nd from Pakistan
April 5, 2017 at 8:40 am
Thank you for sharing this Sarah! I teach in a dual language program and these videos are exactly what I was looking for.
April 5, 2017 at 10:52 pm
Thank you for letting me know! 🙂
April 5, 2017 at 4:15 pm
Just wanted to point out that the movie “Fat” might not be too appropriate for kids if you pay attention to the details….
Thank you for commenting. The title is off-putting, but when viewed the short, I saw that the animals turn into balloons and float around. If you feel like that is not appropriate for your students, you can omit sharing that with them.
April 7, 2017 at 9:08 pm
I wasn’t meaning the title. I was meaning the part where the cow he was milking floats away and then he ‘milks’ a bull…
Seldom Speechless
I am seldom speechless, but when i am it is because of the field of speech language pathology and the amazing littles i meet and work with everyday. my name is brittney and i am a pediatric slp..
Short Videos for Speech Therapy
I love to use short videos in speech therapy sessions to spark discussion and increase engagement. Often these videos are wordless or have minimal dialogue, which allows the students to make inferences, predictions, and use descriptive language.
Before we get to the list. I want to familiarize you with three helpful resources to bring these videos to the next level.
Safe Youtube
If you are worried about inappropriate advertisements popping up or the video ending and automatically playing something inappropriate next, paste the YouTube link into safeyoutube.net and it will generate a safe version of the video hosted off of YouTube, so you do not have to worry about students seeing advertisements or content that you have not approved.
Edpuzzle allows you to add strategic pauses in videos with built in question prompts. You can also trim videos to remove content inappropriate or irrelevant to your students. I have included an example I made below. You can sign up for a free account to make twenty of your own videos, but you also get unlimited access to tons of videos made by other educators.
Any Video/Article Visual Organizers for Describing and Critical Thinking
No time to prep? I feel ya! I have this no-print visual organizer Boom Card Deck bookmarked on my iPad for quick, engaging, language rich sessions. It includes visual organizers for describing using attributes, describing using key info, compare/contrast, sorting important vs. unimportant details, story retell, summarizing fiction stories, summarizing non-fiction stories, and inferencing.
Check it out here .
List of Short Videos for Speech Therapy
This is a growing list of animated shorts available on YouTube. I have tried to organize the videos by theme for easy planning. The title of the video is a direct link to the video. These links are subject to change, please preview content before sharing it with your students. It is your responsibility to ensure appropriateness of the content for your students.
Preheated : A boy decides to make a birthday cake for his eccentric scientist father, but accidentally spills one of his dad’s experiments and ends up with super hot hands! Use this video to target predicting, sequencing, inferencing, describing, and summarizing.
Automne : This animated reimagines the changing of the seasons by creating seasonal characters, who paint their season on to a scale model of the Earth when it is their turn. Great for working on comparing and describing the different seasons.

Autumn Leaves : Cute, super short film about a little boy enjoying the leaves in the fall! Great for sparking discussion about fall and making simple predictions!
Autumn Squirrel : Silly video about a squirrel trying to keep the Autumn chill out of his tree house. Great for discussing problem solving and cause/effect.
Back to School
Clocky : Cute story of a little alarm clock getting ready to ring for the first time. Great for perspective taking, describing, and problem solving.

Great for working on summarizing narrative events, perspective taking, identifying emotions, inferencing, and problem solving.

Perseverance
Hair Love : This is a beautiful, heart-warming story about perseverance! Great for working on describing, predicting, perspective taking, and problem solving.
One Small Step : Luna Chu wants to be an astronaut more than anything! Follow along on her journey from childhood to the moon! Great for perspective taking, predicting, describing.
Content Warning: Luna’s father passes away during the story. She comes home to find his can left on the floor and the lights off in the house. Then, the animator shows her at his grave and destroying her bedroom in grief. The loss of her father renews her desire to work hard to become an astronaut.

Pip : Pip is ready to become a guide dog for the visually impaired, but the training is much harder than expected. Nevertheless, Pip perseveres and becomes a true hero. Perfect for targeting describing, compare/contrast, summarizing, and problem solving.

Thanksgiving

Simon’s Cat in Festive Feast & Other Cat Capers :
Mr. Indifferent : Great for discussing empathy, cause-effect, character development, and summarizing.
Coin Operated : This one is very silly. Target describing, problem solving, cause/effect, and summarizing using this video.
Kid President’s 25 Reasons to Be Thankful : This video is a helpful example for students as they try to brainstorm their own gratitude list.
Salt : This is my favorite Thanksgiving video. It is perfect for targeting cause/effect, sequencing, describing, perspective taking, summarizing, & predicting.
Under the Winter Sun : Two snowman have a fun snow day until the sun begins to rise. Great for predicting, describing, cause/effect, and summarizing.
Hey Deer : Ever wonder what it would be like to live inside of a snowglobe? This short answers that question. Great for predicting, inferencing, and summarizing.
The Present: A young amputee receives a puppy with three legs from his mom. This video shows the boy going from displaced frustration and anger toward the dog to care and compassion. It is a good conversation starter regarding empathy and perspective taking. USe this video to target summarizing, describing, and inferencing.

A Shorter Letter : Cute video that helps kids understand you do not always get the toys you want for Christmas. Good for sparking discussions about describing, compare/contrast, and summarizing.
Here’s the Plan : This video is definitely for a more mature student group. It references divorce and includes a scene where one of the character accidentally gets a bloody nose. This video is good for discussing cause-effect, compare/contrast, and inferencing.
Petals Animated Short : This is the story of two young humanized animals with different levels of respect for the environment. Highlights the impact people can have on the environment. Great for inferencing, making predictions, identifying cause & effect, compare/contrast, describing, and summarizing.

Watermelon a Cautionary Tale : A boy imagines what if you really do turn into a watermelon when you eat the watermelon seeds. Great for discussing figures of speech (i.e., do you really become a watermelon? No. You may just get a stomach ache.)
Content Warning: Some of the imagery of becoming a watermelon may be scary for some students.
Beach/ Ocean
Piper Pixar Animated Short : Adorable animation of a baby sandpiper adventuring out of his nest to get his own food. Great for describing, summarizing, and problem solving.
Trouble in Paradise : This crab does not know what a coconut is and he wants it far away from his home! Great for inferencing and describing.
Bottle Animated Short : Cute wordless story of a sandman and a snowman who communicate by sending things back and forth in a bottle over the ocean. Great for working on describing and compare/contrast.
The Legend of the Crab Phare : I love this sweet video. The Legendary Crab Phare likes to collect ships as they pass by. As he gets older it is harder for him to move, so he becomes sedentary causing him to appear as an island in the middle of the ocean. Eventually, a society forms on top of him until one day he molts and begins again. So many inferencing opportunities. Great for working on describing, inferencing, and summarizing.
Taking the Plunge Animated Short : Cute video about a nervous guy, who accidentally drops his engagement ring into the ocean just before he took the plunge to propose causing him to actually take the plunge to find the ring. Great for working on non-literal language, inferencing, describing, summarizing, and problem solving.
Roughin’ It Mickey Mouse Short : Mickey, Goofy, and Donald go camping, but they have very different ideas of what roughing it means. Great for working on compare/contrast, describing, identifying cause/effect, and summarizing.
Content Warning: Mickey references being in nature’s bosom in the first ten seconds. I personally just start the video after to avoid teaching this particular vocabulary word. Also, Mickey is attacked by forest animals very time, so may view the tussle as violent.
Zoo Animals
Rollin’ Wild Animated Short : What if jungle animals were like blown up balloons? Very entertaining. Great for working on predicting, identifying cause & effect and problem solving.
Catch it! Animated Short : The meerkat’s sacred fruit is stolen by a vulture! How will the meerkat’s get it back? Great for working on inferencing, predicting, problem solving, and summarizing.
We Love Animals Animated Short : A trip to the zoo shown from the perspective of the animals inside their small enclosures. Very sad and will spark big discussions about animal care. Great for working on inferencing and summarizing.
Safari, So Good Mickey Mouse Short : Mickey and Minnie are left behind by their tour bus in the wild, but they make the most of enjoying the plains and the animals. Great for working on summarizing, inferencing, describing, understanding indirect language, and identifying cause & effect.

WORDLESS VIDEOS FOR ELT
- 18 Sep 2017
- speaking , videos , writing
ELT-cation is turning 3 years old this month.
And that takes the cake.
Or a new post.
Last year I posted a few games to celebrate the occasion (see Play & Learn Games ); this year I’ve decided to throw a ‘movie night’ party and share my favourite wordless videos.
These films are:
- appropriate for learners of all levels.
Such films can be used to warm up the class before your lesson begins, during the lesson – you may tie them into your lesson topic or use them to give your students a break – or at the end of class to assign a ‘mission’ to your students ( read more in READY FOR A ONE-MINUTE MISSION ? ).
One film that is sure to break the ice and make your students give their eye teeth for yet another lesson with you is
Teeth by John Kennedy & Ruairí O’Brien
The most valuable feature of stories based on wordless videos is that they can be told any number of ways according to your learners’ interpretation of the story and their level of proficiency in English, taking the form of a dialogue, narration, comic speech/thought bubbles, as a story told by a particular character, in writing, etc. In a way, you will hardly ever feel trapped in a time loop, going through the same story with the same expressions again and again.
Trapped – A film by Joe J. Walker.
The film is ideal for problem-solving sessions. Stop the video at 0:37 and invite students to come up with ideas on what they’d do to escape the trap.
Everything will be okay in the end.
Unless they fall into a black hole.
The Black Hole – A film by Future Shorts.
Storytelling has never been more fun. Get learners to retell the story as a police officer writing up a report.
Money doesn’t buy happiness.
But it can buy Googly eyes, foil paper, Rubik’s cube, pick-up sticks, money, dice, post-it notes and rubber bands to make
Western Spaghetti by PESfilm
This film never fails with teenage classes. Similarly to the Chocolate Roulade, you can build a good videogloss activity based on it (see VIDEOGLOSS: CHOCOLATE ROULADE ).
Slightly absurd, but nobody will stay silent in the classroom.
Silent Film – The Man and the Thief.
Stop the film at 3:55 and ask students to tell the story as the girl from the film. Ask students to predict what may happen in the rest of the film (ask them to think of a “happy” ending for the story and a “sad” ending). Compare their stories. Show the ending of the film.
And the last (nearly) wordless film for tonight shows the most powerful force available to us.
The Power of Words.
Pause the film and ask students to guess what the woman wrote. Get them to write a “flashback” scene for this film that tells us more about the man and his life.
Happy teaching!

Thank you, Steve!
Hi, there are 81 interactive video quizzes built around silent films on iSLCollective video lesson platform: https://en.islcollective.com/video-lessons/search?dialect=17
[…] I feel like I say this a lot, but thanks to ELT-cation (Svetlana) for yet another great lesson idea. Your post on Wordless Videos for ELT was awesome. […]
Lana, I’m catching up with old entries and I’ve just seen this one. I love it so will surely use it. Thanks a bunch 😉
Thanks for stopping by, Nat! So good to hear from you. Really missing our time in Oxford!:)
Thank you so much! Very useful!
