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!

We can believe our students are digital natives and know everything about the internet, but it isn't so - studies show young people are basically pushed into the ocean of the internet without learning the basic swimming moves. That's why I want to share with you a tool that made the life of my teenage students much easier.

Bringing real food to the classroom may turn out to be a challenge, especially when you think of all the things that could possibly go wrong - allergies, accidents, poisonings... Ugh! However, I want to share the ideas that worked well for me and my students - we all had a lot of fun and nobody was hurt.

Summer Songs and Stories: lesson idea

Songs seem to be a popular option for summer classes, and fill-in-the-blanks activities are probably the most popular forms of exercises to include songs in an EFL lesson. However, you can make your students use songs to create new stories, and that's how they work not only on their receptive, but also productive language. And they still have a lot of fun!

I asked some teachers about using soft balls in the classroom, and nine out of ten suggested throwing them at students' heads. While I can fully emphatise with the idea, I believe there's more we can do with these colourful tools that are easy to find around the school and use in the class.

Brainstorms in the classroom

Watch out! Today the weather forecast specialist (me) wants to warn you about the storms - brainstorms to be precise. You've certainly heard about them, you've probably used them already, but have you really used their potential to the fullest? If not - I have some ideas on how to make sure that brainstorming activity will be something more than enjoyable chaos.

Last month I shared some ideas on simple and easy warm-up activities, so today I want to talk about cool-down activities that are great to finish your class properly. I know it's difficult to remember about cool-downs especially when you're running out of time, but I think it's a really important part of the lesson!
