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!

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!

Do we really need end of the course activities? Well - yes. If we want our students to reflect on what they've learnt and focus on their short- and long-term goals, those activities can be really useful. I want to share some simple activities that require no preparation and bring a lot of fun in the classroom.
