I'm sure that we all have played a game of Uno at least once in our life! So why don't we bring it into the ESL/EFL classroom? Play Uno with a twist with your students and make them talk! The only difference from the original game is that when you want to play a card, you have to ask someone a question! How to conduct a successful conversation class? We all know that students talking is the most important part of an ESL/EFL lesson. However, not all students are as talkative as we would wish. In my opinion, the key to conducting a successful lesson based on conversation is to prepare interesting questions which flow quite nicely. You have to move through the questions smoothly, ask for details and be responsive. Nonetheless, there is nothing worse than a dead silence between the questions. Therefore, let me introduce you to UNO conversation cards! How to play UNO? Start with shuffling the deck. Give everyone 7 cards and put the rest of them aside in a pile. Draw the first card ...

Halloween's coming! I'm really excited for the spooky season! I spend most of my free time planning and creating new Halloween resources and lesson plans. However, the fact that it's not a normal school year keeps coming to me. I have to say that I'm quite lucky when it comes to this manner because it seems that for now most of my classes are staying in the classroom and only some of them will be held online. Nonetheless, I know that some of you are forced to switch back to distant learning. So, I've prepared some digital activities and games ideas you can use this Halloween! They're not only spooky but also perfect for Zoom or Skype lessons! Since the first lockdown in Poland, Kahoot has been one of my favourite resources to use during my online classes. Surely, I prefer to use it in the classroom but since we have to make do with what we have, I can assure you that using it on Zoom works perfectly. Kahoot is a website which allows you to create quizes on an...
