December is definitely a month to sum things up and plan something new, close some chapters and embrace changes and opportunities. If you don't know how to start - here, I prepared a short "to-do" list for your winter break!

Stories (not only) for Halloween - book review
I'm not a fan of Halloween - I believe there's no point in scaring evil spirits away if they manage to roam free on earth just once a year. Yet the long and mysterious October evenings prompt us to spin dark tales accompanied by the sound of rain and wind against windows. These are probably the reasons I was told I'll like Angielski: Historie by Preston Publishing.

Games: Innovation at No Cost (Role-Playing Teaching: Part 20)
Stories help us understand the world we live in, various relationships, social codes and behaviours – and once we understand the theory illustrated by stories, we keep practising by means of games.

Dice rolling against teen angst! ( Role-Playing Teaching: Part 18)
In my Role-Playing Teaching section I have already written about RPGs and their positive influence on children and adults - it's high time to write about teenagers. This article may come as the last in the series, but for me they are a group that may benefit most from using RPGs in their educational process, or simply benefit from playing RPGs.

Today, I have a really nice post for all of you who want to try Role-Playing Games with their nearest and dearest. Bumbleberry Forest, a mini RPG game created by Kamila Zalewska-Firus, is a perfect start to the world of RPGs, designed to be family entertainment - starting from three year old children!

Teaching Cheat Day? Make it fun!
There are days one literally can't even. When you're a teacher, suddenly lessons seem terribly long, material to be covered is so boring you can't bring yourself to teach it, your students... I'm not going to continue - simply, you have a Bad/Lazy Day.
Fortunately, you can always rely on me, as I already found some great sources of inspiration

Kitbull by Pixar - because friendship is magic - lesson plan
When Pixar released a new short film I knew I had to see it immediately and once I watched it I knew it would make a brilliant lesson on fear, courage, love, friendship and trust. A lesson we all need - just watch this short and go with the flow!
