A boardgame

Hello everyone. This blog is designed for those who teach English as a second language, primarily to  young learners ( 6 - 10 ) because that's what I do. I've got a 15 year experience and I am still trying to find a more attractive and funny way to teach my students. I come from Serbia and I teach in a small school at the country. The good thing is that there are no more than 20 students in my classes, sometimes even less, but the bad thing is that they are not always supported by their parents in my and their attempt to learn a foreign language. Many parents in rural Serbia think that it's a teacher's job to teach and they don't have to interfere. It's difficult also for a child to learn English when he/she struggles with his/her own language which is really complex. Not to mention the high standards that the ministry of education  has for those little ones! My job is to help them learn and understand and to enjoy it as much as possible. I agree with those who think that children learn best through games and plays. That's why I've created this page to share my ideas with other teachers.
I use these books

with my students and I'm quite content with them, but I sometimes find them either too easy or too difficult for my students so I have to use only the basic idea sometimes and play with it or alter it for my students' needs or my own personal goals.

Last week I was doing practicing structure " colour + object ( toy ) and after describing all the pictures from the book ( HH1) and flashcards, I decided to play a board game.

I decided to draw it 'cause I think it can be a nice way to make my own children at home busy and helpful by colouring the drawings.

I won't tell you how involved they all were. See for yourselves.
