I�m a Brit living in Spain teaching English because that�s all I could find over here. I like it though. I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

This can also be linked to non-gradable adjective exercises.

A nice little dice game for them to practice the different ways of saying it and a few, short explanations of the vocabulary and usage.

Analogies Card Game
A short warmer for those whose students come in dribs and drabs to their classes. Basically, students have to pick a card and then have 5 seconds (or 10 if prefered) to complete the analogy.
