I want to share a short no-prep lesson plan where your students can talk about holidays, school, more or less realistic resolutions... and fun! It's based on a short animation "Inner Workings" and I'm sure you'll love it!

Food in the Classroom: Delicious Challenge

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.

I believe we all need a bit of pure fun – especially now. And one of the first people that comes to my mind when I think of joy is Simone Giertz, a woman who makes robots that are useless – and while it may sound somewhat absurd, I think you will enjoy my simple yet highly educational lesson plan.

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.

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!

I decided to share my ideas on creative use of various simple materials you usually have at hand, as that's how you can easily come up with an extra activity without carrying tons of materials. Last month I wrote about some simple ideas on using toilet paper, and today I want to share my ideas on using a casual, everyday scarf to bring in some extra fun to your classroom.

What's better to start a lesson than a good warm-up activity? I want to share some ideas on why warm-ups are essential. I also want to share some simple and no-prep warm-ups to practise vocabulary, grammar and communication skills.

I used to bring a lot of extra materials to the classroom but after some time I got tired with carrying all this stuff. That's when I decided to use everything I can get on site - but use these objects creatively. I want to share some simple ideas on using toilet paper.
