Default Re: funny game for a private student

Hello everybody. I've noticed a lot of one to one activities here and they're really useful for a lot of people I know, people who struggle to make their classes more interesting and cannot find that kind of resources very easily.
If there's one thing I've learned while working with children, that's the role of competition during the class...Being better is what makes the world go round these days.
My biggest enemy is reduced attention span but that can be gradually defeated by using these games. Bingo and guess the word are my favourite and I think theirs as well. Also, what I recomend is using cartoons for ESL. And from what I've seen so far there is no cartoon that cannot be adapted to a certain level. However, in the end, it all depends on what kind of child you have in front of you and, frankly...I haven't met one that likes grammar and serious reading (the job of a teacher would become even more difficult and boring if all would be like that).
