The game designed to encourage and practice non-verbal communication. Splendid to play in those ten-minute moments at the ends of class, or on holidays and for a reward to the class for missions accomplished. It's so much fun, they won't know it's educational, developing abilities they'll need when they don't know the English word for an item they want to purchase or talk about.
Holiday Song Book
A large-print set of 18 reproducible traditional holiday songs from Thanksgiving to New Years. Each song is illustrated and has word help.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
Plus a translation into simple English, plus word help.
