November - a grim month perfect for perilous adventures, and what's more perilous than a crime? Imagine a set of cards that can make your class use English, think, collaborate, discuss, argue while solving crimes and having fun! It's pretty much like Cluedo but requires no preparation, no extra explanation... just a set of cards!

Oh No! It's a Mistake!
There are so many wrong things about the mistakes, like: judging others, feeling ashamed, stressed or frustrated - but we can change this!
I won't tell you the ultimate trick to stop making mistakes, but I can share three simple activities that will help your students overcome their anxieties. Because mistakes are awesome - and so are we!

Get Creative Every Day: Review
An organiser, a lesson wizard and a time-saver all in one?
Yes, please!
I'm happy to show you Get Creative Everyday - a planner for EFL teachers (especially the Young Learners ones).

Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas songs... with a twist! (playlist)
If you're already tired with Christmas songs, I've got something for you!
I've prepared a pretty cool playlist full of songs that somehow relate to Christmas, but don't worry, you can expect some twists (and shouts, of course).

Secret Santa: how to make everyone happy
Do you do Secret Santa with your students? The main problem is that very often people don't know one another and really don't know what to buy, so they go for a random gift (quite logically, a random gift for a random person).

Let's Talk: What the Heck Happened? (review)
I don't usually buy extra teaching tools, but once in a while my willpower proves to be particularly weak. Of course, it requires something extraordinary, but when I saw conversation cards created by Ewa Torebko, I simply knew I would love them. And, of course, I do - that's why I want to share some ideas on how to use them in your classroom.

Preschoolers in the Mysterious Forest of Holistic Education
When I got the opportunity to write my very own course for preschoolers focused on the development of future skills, I couldn't say no! What have I come up with? Take a look at Smart Preschoolers and their adventures in the Mysterious Forest.

Class contract: make it work
It took me some time to realise that there is something I can use to avoid the unavoidable frustration when all the NewYearNewMe vibe is gone. It’s a simple class contract, something we all know, but somehow it is pretty underappreciated.

That is evil: back to school!
August is one of the most difficult months for teachers. On one hand it's still the full month of holidays, but on the other hand that's just evil.
That's why I prepared a Spotify list full of songs that probably will reflect your attitude.
Enjoy!
