I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

Where�s the alien? Capital K track game in full colour, black and white and blank.
I could not find enough vocabulary to make my usual track game so I had my "brain wave" and came up with this simple game for practising stroke order by using prepositions.
