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.

Which Way? A unique board game for practising everyday actions

You will find instructions for the game and the key inside. I have included a greyscale and blank ...
