Great activities, Svetlana, thank you for sharing them! And thank you so much for including my post in the list of extra activities! Really appreciate it! 🙂
Thanks, Maria! My pleasure. I just love your personalized T-shirt idea. Will definitely try it with my learners. I’ll have to be economical (living in the world of scarce resources), though, so we’ll probably have to do with one T-shirt with new year learning resolutions for the whole group. Happy new academic year!
I agree, one T-shirt will work just fine. In fact I had the one T-shirt idea in mind when I wrote a June post about summer activities all year round – you can see it here: https://mariatheologidou.wordpress.com/2016/06/26/summer-activities-all-year-round/?iframe=true&theme_preview=true
Thank you so much for your kind words once again and may we all have a happy, creative school year! 🙂
