							| These students usually enjoy playing games a lot. There are many interesting games that cover all the topics and grammar items, so why don�t you give it a try? Your students would be able to learn and have fun at the same time. The winners could be given a prize, for example a chocolate bar. Hugs from Portugal Cristina   |  4 May 2010
