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.

What is cold?: pictionaries, 2 versions with and without words. Instructions inside.
The Pictionaries (posters) are an addition to my earlier work "hot or cold?", which can be found in my account. Suggestions on how to use the materials can be found on page 3.

How to play the game (in pairs): You will need a die and counter for each team or pair. Players, within teams, take turns to throw the die and move forward by the number shown. All teams are in play together. I...

Lost in America in colour and greyscale
Students read and study the dialogue before completing the �Which way?� puzzles. Then with a partner they use the map and dialogue to practice giving and receiving directions. I couldn�t get my design clear in my head until after looking at http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=631158#thetop so thanks go to Sonja1985.

Clipit Cards 41-60 of 60 with backs
Print, laminate and cut out the cards. Scatter the cards and give each child a clothespin/peg. The child attaches it to one of the words and, if correct, keeps the cards. These can also be used in flash card games. They will look a lot more professional if you give them backs.
