We have a new member that sent an advanced exercise that he apologizingly says "sorry no bells, no whistles" When I looked over his contribution, I found it was just a straight up good worksheet to have on hand.  Take a look....http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=225689#thetop

I couldn �t agree more. Sometimes too colourful ws are too complicated and makes reading difficult. It seems that people is going in a struggle to be more and more coulourfu. really a nice piece of work.

Hi there!
 
 I guess it depends on who are the WSS directed to. I use simple B&W WSS for adults / teenagers, and colorful decorated WSS for kids. The truth is that I edit the colored backgrounds, I turn them into B&W... money, you know...

I am so surprised at how many very colourful worksheets people produce.  I work for a school that I feel is quite generous with resources, etc, but there is NO WAY I could make coloured copies for my students to do their practice/exercises on!  I can use coloured flashcards, posters in my presentations, and they are lovely in powerpoints, but very impractical in worksheets.

 That �s why i don �t see extreme interest in depending our ws quality on colour, images, dolls over content.... sometimes they aren �t so effective..
