<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most English courses for young learners and lower level adults will include a unit on clothes and what someone is wearing. It's not the hardest one to practice, but making it fun/amusing can be challenging.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

For extra practice, you can have them discuss with the rest of the class and ask them additional questions (if you want).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once all five jars are filled, five elephants will appear and proceed, again with taps of the space bar, to drink the water. Once all five jars are empty, the game is complete. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<b style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">See No Speak No Hear No is a dice and card based game that can be used as a warmer/ice-breaker or to practice new vocabulary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheAjQ0DcxqSXRekBd6fXco3CxHu89lX4NFGVRSdxDUmBC692gbmFTG8KrKrH03omofBc33WyKVngF6A59mn2s6ofhOqL-x-HmivUkvC8iyfr4wb27kfRJ3qgCBV5PmH1AZYX9-g42-NzQ/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheAjQ0DcxqSXRekBd6fXco3CxHu89lX4NFGVRSdxDUmBC692gbmFTG8KrKrH03omofBc33WyKVngF6A59mn2s6ofhOqL-x-HmivUkvC8iyfr4wb27kfRJ3qgCBV5PmH1AZYX9-g42-NzQ/s320/1.png" width="320" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You play it just like Taboo, with students picking a card and "describing" if for the other students to guess. The only difference is that the student who picks the card must also roll the dice. The dice decides how the student describes the word they have picked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If the dice lands on "See No", they student must describe the war using only words and sounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If the dice lands on "Speak No", the student must describe the word only using actions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If the dice lands on "Hear No", the student must describe the word using only drawings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I have included instructions on how to play, plus two sheets of nouns and two of verbs to get you started. Feel free, of course, to add your own words.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Just remember, you have to make the dice and cut the cards.</span><br />

Have your students produce the target language (whether it be a answering a question, naming a flashcard or produce a sentence about themselves) and then press the spacebar to spin the arrow. All you need to do is decide on the rewards for when the arrow lands on a chuck or a moose (make sure they are different to add an element of excitement). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are ten different levels and the aim of each one is to find the three, hidden hazelnuts behind the chunks of chocolate. Simply have your students click (with the mouse) or press with their fingers (if on an interactive whiteboard). If they don't find a hazelnut, it is someone else turn. If they do, they can claim victory. If they have found all of the hazelnuts on that particular level, simply click on the level label (in the top, left hand corner of the screen) to be taken back to the main level where you can choose a new level.</span></div>

<b>Takeaway Tuesday #6: Draughts/Chess Board</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Draughts and Chess are a classic games that we all know how to play (ok...hands up, I am not 100% about chess...) but even if we don't know how to play them, the boards can be incredibly versatile for any teaching environment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can use them as a board game, a score card, a way of scoring points...I'll let you think of your own uses (I am sure you can think of a few).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a busy time for ESL Matt-Erials at the moment, hence the delay in posting every week as I had hoped. That said, here is another Takeaway Tuesday for your classroom;</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The aim of Alien Abduction is to abduct all of the aliens. You can use it for any sized class and to help practice any language point. Simply have your students produce the language and, if they are correct, they can press the spacebar or the screen (on an interactive whiteboard) and abduct the alien. You could, of course, play it the other way round and remove an alien for every mistake with rewards for numbers of aliens remaining (for example, if the class has all 15 aliens left at the end of the game they can play a game of their choosing, but if they have done left at the end they will have extra homework (obviously you can make your own rules)).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first Takeaway Tuesday is a photocopiable game sheet to give your students a chance to practice giving advice. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Split your class into pairs and give each pair a sheet. They can give advice on any of the problems in the grid and then, once the advice is given, they write the first letter of their name on the corresponding square. When they have 5 squares in a line (in any direction), they can mark one point in their point box. The person with the most points when all the squares are finished is the winner.</span></div>

If you are lucky enough to be teaching children (young or very young learners) you will know that half of the battle is managing your classroom and getting the best behaviour from your students.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TIDMIQnnd-Zm9L6D3Ct6EpoAIFymfYLxC-kORnCmRoMWsI7L_rv0aunZhxkwnXjJsc2fBYNlK68JYer535I4CeG8UA4KG6NRCcsdJ6fcgKKylVlhcN5ZzkXhIO9xJbBfsMHij_lnynY/s1600/Screen+Shot+2018-03-05+at+09.52.54.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7TIDMIQnnd-Zm9L6D3Ct6EpoAIFymfYLxC-kORnCmRoMWsI7L_rv0aunZhxkwnXjJsc2fBYNlK68JYer535I4CeG8UA4KG6NRCcsdJ6fcgKKylVlhcN5ZzkXhIO9xJbBfsMHij_lnynY/s320/Screen+Shot+2018-03-05+at+09.52.54.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Class Stars is a PowerPoint based tool for rewarding your class for good behaviour, and good English production, which allows you to take away stars when you are not satisfied with their behaviour. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Click on the "a star" box on the bottom of the screen and a bright, shining star will appear in the night sky. When you do this is completely up to you. There are a total of 20 starts to award to your class (that could be on each if you wanted to). If, once they have a star, they behave in a way you don't want or like, click on any star to remove it. I would suggest offering a reward based on the number of stars left on the board at the end of the lesson. Maybe less homework or starting the next lesson with their favourite game.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one helps your students to complain using English. Let's face it, we complain all the time. We complain in restaurants and bars, we complain in banks and at airports!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each square contains the start of a phrase we use to complain, all they have to do is finish it off with a genuine (or made up) complaint for somewhere they have been. It might even be a real life complaint they have heard or made themselves. It's great for advanced teens and adults and groups of almost any size. And, of course, it's photocopiable!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Race Games Mega Pack contains 25 (yes, twenty five) PowerPoint based race games!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each one works for between 4 or 5 players or teams. Each one can be used as a reward for almost any activity (whether it is a speaking activity, a grammar or vocabulary activity). Simply ask your class a question or to produce the target language for the lesson. If they are correct they can come to the Interactive Whiteboard and press, or click, the corresponding button for their team. Once they do, their team will move forward. Moving forward 7 times will win them the race.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 25 race games all come as separate PowerPoint files (download them all as a ZIP file below) and include;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Batman Runner, Bicycle Race, Cat Walk, Dr Who Race, Foxtrot, Gruffalo Grand Prix, Hall Race, Hike, Homer Hop, Joker Creep, Mario Race, Moonwalker, Pacing Pandas, Penny Farthing Racer, Pigeon Parade, Pikarun, Polar Express, Pumpkin Passage, Regatta, Rex Race, Robin Race, Run Racoon Race, Snail Trail, Squirrel Race and Wolf Pack.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each one is perfect for a different theme, so look through them before your lesson to find the perfect one!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WARNING: All games use animated GIFs for the characters and have moving backgrounds, so may not be suitable for epileptics.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone who teaches children will, at some point, have to teach them time. Some students may know the 12-hour clock, some may be more familiar with the 24-hour clock. Teaching the differences, though not impossible, can mean a fair bit of repetition. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's where 24-Hours comes in handy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Give each student a copy of the 24-hour clock and, time permitting, have them colour it in. Then give them a copy of the blank clock and have them write the 12-hour clock on, and colour in if you want them too. Make sure they cut along the dotted lines and fold on the solid edge line.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once everything is cut and coloured (they don't need to cut anything on the page with the 24-hour clock), give them the clock hands (I've provided many on one page to make it easier for you, the teacher) and have them cut them out. Then glue the 12-hour clock, but not the flaps, onto the 24-hour clock and attach the hands with a split pin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your students should then have a working, model clock that they can use to convert the 24-hour clock to the 12-hour clock and visa versa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am sure every teacher has played Scrabble with students at some point. But, it's not the easiest game to come across. Sometimes a school or another teacher will own it, but not always. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Babble is perfect for if you don't have access to actual Scrabble. Babble is just like Scrabble, except there is no board. Students can make words in any direction but they don't need to stick to the board. This does, of course, mean there are no triple or double word/letter scores, this should make it simpler to play and work out the scores.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All you have to do is print it out, cut out the letter tiles (this may take some time, sorry) and cut and fold the letter holders. Then you are ready to play with your students. Don't forget, you can always split your class into teams and have them play together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought I would start of 2018 with something fun, quick, easy to play yet still educational activity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many people, including native speakers struggle with where to put the apostrophe in the word its (I know that is wrong but I wanted to write it without any apostrophe). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidYP6LwwfGzljVXE5-b23hOoAIC4BvPbgvXlQpfQ02z8MzSp-nmHJK3e9mO2zkadc9sGIcTWSn9HiRo9A074iNm7Z0QqGtNNHzgwiwwGwdaWL8tCaN6-mWkH6bUVw50aRDTMlDWch-_mk/s1600/Screen+Shot+2018-01-19+at+22.31.56.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidYP6LwwfGzljVXE5-b23hOoAIC4BvPbgvXlQpfQ02z8MzSp-nmHJK3e9mO2zkadc9sGIcTWSn9HiRo9A074iNm7Z0QqGtNNHzgwiwwGwdaWL8tCaN6-mWkH6bUVw50aRDTMlDWch-_mk/s320/Screen+Shot+2018-01-19+at+22.31.56.png" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pin the Apostrophe on the Its is a great game to play with teenagers and adults, as a reward or warmer or even review.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All you need to do it blindfold them, you can even spin them around a few times, and have them touch the screen (you will need an interactive whiteboard) to place the apostrophe where they think it will go. The chances of them getting it correct are slim, but it still makes for a fun game.</span></div>

I had big plans for this Christmas and the New Year but with a move to South Africa appearing from the blue things haven't quite worked out as planned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am still trying to work out what to do with this year, I might continue with the Grammar Collection (the page definitely needs updating) but I might also try some new stuff too). I promise that, whatever I do, it will still be more than useful for you and your students.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, and one more thing...</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRw00WlwHvaYi-HzrnVQnwxj-gQhTfJVxb5N2zTJvaMp-PVT4o5XNBL8ez94w2uhziCoXNOBh88Vs55mFh2vAMyRR158uqZDc0bfWVFqoUNm8PZtcCtoEYl4gDxu5qi4IJw_lj0mUuVCY/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRw00WlwHvaYi-HzrnVQnwxj-gQhTfJVxb5N2zTJvaMp-PVT4o5XNBL8ez94w2uhziCoXNOBh88Vs55mFh2vAMyRR158uqZDc0bfWVFqoUNm8PZtcCtoEYl4gDxu5qi4IJw_lj0mUuVCY/s320/2.png" width="279" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...the eagle-eyed amongst you will have already noticed that adverts have recently started appearing on the blog. Don't worry, you shouldn't notice any difference to how the blog runs and, you definitely won't notice any difference when it comes to the activities and the blog itself! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will try and ensure that the majority of adverts are suitable and useful for ESL teaching, and if the advertising thing really doesn't work out I won't drag it out for longer than necessary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'd like to thank you all for your continued visits (and hopefully downloads of activities) and your patience as I sort things out for this coming year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And good luck to everyone in what ever they are doing in 2018!</span></div>
