Not just for English teachers. - By: SJSmith, 03 Apr 2007 
This is great for any time of the year but more so when you need a quick start to a lesson or a change during a lesson. I use it sometimes as a pre-starter for the times when pupils aren't arriving all at the same time (after break or lunch). I also use it when I announce to the class "let's have a change as you are working extremely hard" little do they know I planned this & have already identified the activity!
I have taught Englishin a 'good' school, a school where some pupils are very weak & more recentlyin a special school for EBD. It gets usedin all of them!
A fab resource not just for English teachers.

A super book for the first week of term! Helps you to analyse children literacy ability as well as having fun with them. Also a good source of INSET introductory games.
A very useful tool book - By: , 30 Oct 2001 
This book is a huge resource of ideas for class activities, for one student or a full class. These are all easily adaptable to suit individual requirements & level of competence. As a relatively new tutor of English to ESOL students, I am finding this a real treasure. All of the activities have examples & hints to extend the scope of the ideas. For the experienced teacher or for the newcomer, this is the sort of book one would refer to over & over again. I especially like the fact that I can adapt the ideas to suit my own style & the requirements of my widely disparate students.
this is a brilliant book - By: , 08 Dec 2000 
all kinds of activities involvedin this book:pictures, games, roleplay etc....but your students need to have at least an intermediate level or certain activities will be very boring for the teacher if your pupils don't have enough vocabulary
The most useful resource book for language teachers around. - By: , 03 Apr 1999 
Everybody wants to borrow this book from me & not return it! It is the most useful collection of short activities for language teachers available...you can practically open it anywhere, walk into the class & do it...and be sure of success!
