CLEAR SUMMARY CHART for THERE IS-ARE, A, SOME, ANY
I�ve designed this guide for Beginner-Elementary students.
It�s not unusual to have some of them experiencing problems with SOME-ANY. So I prepared this (rather clear, I think) summary chart, with colours and examples, so that they can understand it properly.
It worked very well when I used it, even with weak adult students.
Hope it helps!!!

FOOD PICTIONARY - Fruit
This is the 1st part of the Food Pictionary I�ve prepared for my beginner students. Due to weight limits I can�t include the other 3 (vegetables, meat/fish/different courses, drinks). I used real pictures to make them more appealing and they�ve worked really well. Hope it helps you too :)
