willow - the movie
This is a worksheet for the movie Willow. It�s not new, but it�s great for classes (esp if your kids like magic - Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings...), because most kids nowadays haven�t seen it, so it keeps them on their toes and it covers a lot of fairytale vocabulary, as it�s full of magic, fairies, brownies, warriors, a princess, a wicked queen,...

COLDPLAY - VIVA LA VIDA
A great song which provides good background for grammar revision (tenses) and afterwards you can have a debate on how fame changes people... I found it very useful, and even added a writing activity later on about the fame topic. I was pleasantly surprised with the maturity of some essays.

Almost lover - lyrics worksheet
This is a wonderful song I did with my teenage students. They loved singing it, even though it feels kind of sad and melancholic. With my high school students, I had a discussion afterwards about the fine line between friendship and love, and about loving and being loved. All around, a very romantic lesson.

toys - matching ws for kids
This is a very simple ws for smaller kids to match toys and their words. The words are all caps, because preschoolers and 1st graders are more comfortable with these. I use it as a ws, but also as a class poster. I sometimes give them colourful wss as a special reward, but it�s editable so you can print it in b&w if you want to.
