4-in-a-row WORD GAMES
This is a collection of 4-in-a-row games, with basic rules of use for those who have never played it before. It�s a great game for all ages and knowledge levels and you can even improvise it in a few minutes.

St. Patrick�s Day
Here are only some of my St. Patrick�s Day�s favourite activities - a crossword, a song, a text about Ireland and a story about a leprechaun and a greedy lady. The story is really educational and I�ve used it with all my levels - with preschoolers I added mime and sounds and a song afterwards, with intermediates I had a jumbled text to sort out, an...

teenage play - Peter Perfect
So many of you are asking for teenage plays for your kids, to end the school year in style, Here�s one I did with my teenagers (5th & 6th grade). I was inspired by the tongue twister PETER PLAYS THE PIANO PERFECTLY. It�s about a kid who everybody thinks is perfect and they rub the kids noses in it, and then it turns out - nobody is perfect. It�s fu...

movies-associations games
You�ve probably played associations before (maybe you call it differently), but if you haven�t, do try - it�s amazing how much fun it can be, how much language material you can cover with it, and kids soon start making them themselves, which is great. I made some about movies, but once you get the principle, you can use it for any level and it can ...

Idle Jack - children�s play based on a traditional English story
This is a children�s play I did 12 years ago with my younger teenage students, and lent it to a colleague of mine this year - both times the play went great - all the kids got their roles, the audience was interested, because it�s based on a traditional story, so nobody knew how it would end, and we finished with a Monty Python song played on the g...

THE PAST SIMPLE TENSE - ESSENTIALS
I actually created this grammar guide/practice for my adult students, because they like to have everything in one place - rules, basics, and basic practice. They found it very useful, and I still use it with adults and teenagers when I want them to concentrate seriously.

funny things from court
This is a text I got from a friend by e-mail. It�s all kinds of funny things people said at the witness stand. It�s hillarious, but sts lower than advanced maybe won�t get all the jokes, so read through carefully before you use it in class. It�s a great twist on crime/court/law vocabulary, and the last page expands it into a worksheet which is not ...
