Hi Meggy,
Sorry I can't point you to a source, but I just wanted to say that what you mentioned would probably take about ten minutes to type out yourself. I'm wondering why you would spend so long searching for it?
Sometimes if I can't find the flash cards and if I have some time then I draw them on the boards and let the kids draw them in their notebooks with the name underneath.
Just an idea if you have time.
Hi Meggy
iteslj.org is always a good place to start with adult conversation classes.
They have conversation questions that can be adapted in lots of ways according to your classes needs.

Make friends with Google. He helps me out an awful lot.

The questions on iteslj.org are great. And you can always add some if you want to their lists. I have used the site a lot when I started teaching so so long ago!!! 😃
I have attached something which I bought from a second hand bookshop for two pounds in the UK. It is a page from a book ("Streamline English Departures", Hartley & Viney, 1992) which contains a variety of opposites which include pictures. I would like you to get some inspiration from this page and not print it out for your classes. Hope it helps.
Thanks for the brill ideas, i dont intend to print them, i really just needed some ideas of what things i could use and how to use them. So i think i have a bit more of an idea now, and surely could come up with some stuff.still am finding these adult conversational classes a bit AAAAARRGGHH.it's ok for you TEFL teachers out there, bet everything is a breeze for you lot,(im joking ,really ha ha) So thanks for saving my skin again and setting me up with ideas.Many thanks

What's wrong with the adult classes? 😃 Sometimes they can be even worse than kids 😲
