I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

Clean or Dirty Cards 13-24 (of 24) with answer key (for worksheet) and game suggestions
Clean and Dirty may seem to be simple concepts it is a relative concept. An pig may always seem dirty to me but not always so to another pig. Anyway, in this set there are 10 pairs of flash cards (20 different cards) with backs and a worksheet. The worksheet follows my hot/cold worksheet design from long ago.
