Today I want to share three very easy ideas you can use in your classroom. You will only need a set of dice, something to write on (and with) and a bunch of students who want to have fun. The great thing is, those activities are perfect for all students of EFL, regardless of their linguistic proficiency.

It's my birthday note - the first one, as I haven't yet celebrated my own birthday on the blog. I want to thank you all for encouragement and support, for visiting my page and following me on Facebook - you're awesome! - and, especially for my new readers I want to share a list of my most popular blog entries - they're full of ideas you may adjust to various groups of students, so I believe you'll find them useful.

With the annual influx of Halloween-themed posts by my fellow bloggers I was like "meh, I don't even like Halloween, I guess I only wrote about it once" - so I looked through my own posts and realised my memory is somewhat problematic (it probably goes with my age, ah well...).

I don't usually share lesson plans, but I want to show how combining two various sources may help create something unusual and bring some wow effect to the classroom. Here I mixed environment and writing poems and it worked just great!

If I got a penny each time I hear I'll understand English culture when I go there for holidays I'd be the richest teacher ever.

Writing can be one of the most tiresome endeavours of a student - can you recall your own papers, compositions, etc? I see no reason not to teach some writing techniques to my own students. I've realised that the sooner they get the basics, the better their writing compositions are.

Yesterday, when I was on my way to work, I was thinking about the lesson - a group of pre-int teenagers and grammar + vocabulary revision. Not necessarily exciting thing, admit it.
