I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

Minimal Pair Telephone Game
This isn�t my idea. This came up in a brainstorming session with some of my teachers while planning activities for our summer camps. I�m pretty sure he got the idea from either a book or website.
