The unreal past game
That�s a fun way for all yours "if only, I wish, I�d rather, it�s high time" practice. You need a coin to toss and students can only move when they produce a logical and grammatically correct sentence. Accept anything plausible in a described situation. If two students land on the same square, they should produce a different sentence. Have fun play...

SCHOOL vocabulary Taboo game

The Hobbit "riddles in the dark"
Here is a worksheet for the "riddles in the dark" scene from The Hobbit movie, link to youtube included. You will be better off with a dvd with English subtitles, though, as Gollum lisps heavily, which may be a problem for elementary students. It includes an activity on riddles as a warm-up which should be fun in class and a key, just in case. Enjo...

Riverdance film worksheet
Life can be described as being BEFORE and AFTER seeing Riverdance live. The objective CAE coursebook has an article on one of its original dancers Michael Flatley, thus the worksheet.

Countables and uncountables with much, many, some, any and lots game
Countables and uncountables again! After all the drills you did and the fill the blank worksheets and gazillions of exercises - the students are ready for something else to consolidate their knowledge of (how) much/many, some/any/a/lots of. Why not this one?

Level: elementary

IMPERATIVES
An exercise to practice imperatives both in positive and negative versions (e.g. Go and Don�t go). At the same time it revises "do" and "make" in the medium level of difficulty questions.

NAMES OF SHOPS
Another way to revise these places in town - this time shops. I deliberately didn�t include apostrophy - so you get "greengrocer" instead of "greengrocer�s" (so warn your students in advance) as they don�t get through in this game format. Have fun :-)

Age: 7-12


MODALS and EXPRESSIONS OF POSSIBILITY and CERTAINTY
Dear tired teachers ;-) Something to help you review these modals/perfect modals and other expressions like bound to, (un)likely to, little likelihood etc. Definitely for advanced students - I had my CAE guys in mind. Hope you enjoy it and have fun!

TOO MUCH TOO MANY snakes and ladders

INDEFINITE PRONOUNS
Here is my go at indefinite pronouns (some-/any-/every-/no- body, -thing, -where) coupled with a game of chance ;-) After you "throw the dice", your pawn will move and a sentence with 2 options will appear. Good for practice stage of any lesson on indefinite pronouns, made for teens but will suit mo...
