STARDUST - WORDSEARCH
This is just a simple wordsearch I created for my intermediate students who had to do quite a big comprehension follow-up worksheet for the movie Stardust, so this wordsearch came as just a bit of fun. If you like the movie and feel like using it in class, there are several more complicated worksheets about Stardust in my collection.

SUMMER PIRATE BOARD GAME (my board game no.2)
This is a board game I made for my kids (various groups, aged 4-12)for our final �pirate� summer farewell party. It can be played as a simple board game, or a giant one across the classroom (see instructions on last page). I added some colour to make it more fun, but it�s mostly b&w, so it can easily be printed like that. It�s rather simple, but yo...

DEMONS - IMAGINE DRAGONS
Trying to find a new song that has a message and no lyrics I would have to censor, I came across this one. I think it has something to teach my teenagers about not being superficial, about being self-critical, but also about relying on the good in each other. I prepared some tasks with synonyms, ant...

EMELI SANDE -CLOWN
The song is just too beautiful to miss. There are some follow-up vocabulary and comprehension tasks with Sande�s biography and explanation for the song. I hope your students enjoy it.

I WON�T GIVE UP - JASON MRAZ
I just couldn�t resist this song, the video and the melody. The tasks are rather simple (spelling, opposites and ordering by numbers), but the song is lovely and the video has a nice message. I�m planning to do it on Valentine�s Day, although the message is universal. I hope you like it.

FANTASY LAND -PART ONE
I made this OE to accompany my Fantasy Land project (5 wss available with posters, projects and games). I prepared this for my after-holiday workshop, to step back into English, but not immediately into our coursebooks. It�s more fun and basic culture than grammar, but I love sneaking vocabulary in ...

MEMORIES & RESPECT
This is a word formation task I prepared for my students, although it is the message I�m trying to get across to them, more than have them practise word formation. Inspired by a small, but significant act of teenage vandalism, I decided to prepare this text. I hope you find it useful, be it just for...
