FUNNY PIECES OF NEWS
You need to print out the sheet and cut it out into pieces. Give one piece of news to each one of your students (you can give one to a pair if you don�t have enough). They have to read it and later tell the rest of the class their piece of news in their own words.
The OBJECTIVE is to try to guess which piece of news is the FALSE one. Not so easy...

Works best with adult students...

EXTREME - More Than Words
This is one of my favourite worksheets. It contains a fill in the gaps activity to do while listening to the song and then it contains an idea for a debate/discussion about the song lyrics and how "Actions speak louder than words". As a follow-up, it takes a look at IDIOMS in English.
It contains the KEY.
