Imagine a tool that will encourage your students to write creatively, regularly and as if they were playing a game. Sounds great? Well I want to share with you a literal game that will support not only your students' writing skills, but also their out-of-the-box thinking, enthusiasm, engagement and the belief that creative writing isn't that bad after all.

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!

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.

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.

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.
