Help with a tittle for a teaching unit!
 
Hi there!

I �m planning a teaching unit on old toys, old games and things our grandparents used to do for entertainment. I �m going to work with the sound /oi/ and I �m looking for a tittle, but not something like just "Old times" and the like. I had thought "Old toys, old joys", but I don �t know how it sounds for native speakers, is the plural of �joy �  right in this context? I also though �Join the old joys �. 
 
Do you like these tittles or are they a bit �stupid �? Do they sound right in English? Thanks a million.

How about "The joys of old toys?" There are lots of phrases starting "the joys of..." in English so it doesn �t sound strange.
You could even go for "The joys of loyal old toys" if you want to emphasis the "oi" sound.

Thank you very much!! I �m still thinking. "The joys of old toys" seems  a good choice.

I like "old toys, old joys" a lot! It �s very catchy.

A title or headline doesn �t have to be a formal sentence in everyday usage. In advertising, that might be described as a very �punchy � line, Ana.

 

Cheers,

Thank you too, alien boy! With a little help of someone else, I �ve decide to finally choose "Old toys, old joys".
 
Angelgaby, of course I �ll try to share my work! Although lately I �m having problems with the layout of my worksheets because I usually work in Macintosh. Anyway, I �ll do a word version when I have time!
