It's the middle of winter, so if today isn't the best day to share my favourite cool downs, I don't know what is! I think warm ups are far more popular, but the exercises at the end of the lesson are equally important as they help students remember the things they've learned that day and close the lesson in a friendly, relaxed and enjoyable manner. Below you will find my favourite cool down ideas - maybe you'll find them as useful as they were for my own students. The good thing about the ideas below is that you only need pen and paper - and that's it, enjoy!

It's been a year since I started writing about RPGs and ways they could be used in the classroom. My blog is written primarily for the teachers, especially the EFL ones, but today I won't write for the teachers, but for the RPGs players, as I think they deserve some explanations without the didactic background which is quite obvious for the teachers, but not so much for the rest of the world.

Rhythm of the language is crucial if you want to speak fluently. And what's better to learn a rhythm if not implementing in in the class? One may think playing with rhythm is something only the youngest students will enjoy, but recently I've discussed this topic and I want to share some ideas even the most adult and mature students will find amusing.

I believe we should share our enthusiasm, our true passion for not only teaching but using English and adapt homework to our students' needs, styles of learning and interests.
