word games
This is a very practical type of word game you can use with students of all ages. I did it with intermediate and advanced students (kids and adults) and it turned out to be more challenging than they had expected. I always do it in teams or pairs. It�s really useful, because it doesn�t require a lot of time to prepare, you don�t need all kinds of t...

movies-associations games
You�ve probably played associations before (maybe you call it differently), but if you haven�t, do try - it�s amazing how much fun it can be, how much language material you can cover with it, and kids soon start making them themselves, which is great. I made some about movies, but once you get the principle, you can use it for any level and it can ...

A TRIBUTE TO TINA TURNER
I started it off by writing 1939-1971-2009 on the board and asking students to elicit ideas about what these years might refer to and which historical events happened in this span of time. Then we did the lyrics in groups of 2-3, then we watched Tina and Beyonce perform Proud Mary, then read the biography... Do I need to say how impressed they were...

safety tips - how safe is our world
I did this one with my FCE students. I got the text by e-mail from a friend and thought it provides good background for a lot of vocabulary work(on page 2) and a strong debate, since at times the safety tips in it seem sensible, and at times I thought �oh, come on, that�s paranoid�. It was an interesting debate, and I even got some spontaneous essa...

funny song - down by the bay
If you�re looking for a really funny song for your kids, I recommend this one. My kids loved it, a colleague of mine even played guitar for her kids, and they loved writing thier own versions of unusual lyrics for it. It�s really fun.

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.

Mary Poppins
Who would have guessed modern kids would love Mary Poppins?! Just goes to show you never can tell until you try. My elementary students loved the movie, the songs, the worksheet, the movie word games... They all tried to snap their fingers to tidy up their rooms, too (it didn�t work though)... If you try this, please, let me know how it went.

lucky lyrics
My students and I just loved this summer song, and they enjoyed doing the worksheet - it seems simple at first - you just have to listen to the song and fix certain words, but they found it challenging in some places and all missed the first �hear�... Try it (teacher�s copy is the right column)...

Children enjoy learning through movies. Mulan is very educational, as well as fun, and this worksheet checks their understanding of the story, strengthens vocabulary and encourages them to make their own sentences using cartoon vocabulary. Have fun!
