 =====Lesson Ideas!===========
 
 1)
 Exercises: This one is great for over excited Ss who need to burn off
 a bit of energy.  It's also good for classroom commands and numbers. 
 Stand the students in a line and call out instructions: "Jump 10
 times", "Turn around 4 times" etc.  Other good ones to use are: run
 (on the spot), hop, hands up & down, touch your (body part), stand up
 & sit down and star jump.
 
 Explosion: Give the students a topic and an object to pass around. 
 Each student has to say a word in that topic (e.g. food - apple, cake
 etc.) before the time runs out. If the time limit ends the student
 left holding the object loses. 
 
 2)
 Fish: Before this game you need to have the students in pairs draw and
 cut out a picture of a fish for each pair.  While they are doing that
 put 2 parallel lines of tape on the floor a few meters apart.  Have Ss
 play in twos - each student behind a different line.  T asks S1 a
 question.  If the S answers it correctly s/he can blow once to propel
 the fish forward.  Next, T asks S2.  The S who blows the fish over the
 tapped line is the winner.
 
 3)
 Fly swatter game: Divide the students into 2 teams. Give the first in
 each team a fly swatter. Write the same array of answers on the board
 for each side. Ask student A a question (a letter, blend, word, math
 problem, number, definition, etc.). The first one to slap the write
 answer on the board wins a point. They get three questions and then
 they pass it to the next one. When the first player gets back to the
 front. Change the answers and do it again!  (Submitted by Tammy Edwards).
 
 4)
 Follow the leader: Ss line up behind the T and follows him/her around
 the classroom.  The T does an action and shouts out the word for that
 action.  The Ss copy the action and repeat the word.  Good actions
 include: wave, hello, goodbye, it's cold/hot, stop, go, run, hop,
 skip, crawl, walk backwards, jump, sit down, stand up.
 
 ===========================
 
 Each student must generate and print (for free) some certificates of
 appreciation
 for their friends and family and explain to the class (or teacher) why
 they gave the 
 particular award to that particular person. (awarding other class
 members if fine and encouraged)

 =====Humor this Month==========
 
 Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English
 Language?
 
 Let's face it
 English is a stupid language.
 There is no egg in the eggplant
 No ham in the hamburger
 And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
 English muffins were not invented in England
 French fries were not invented in France.
 
 We sometimes take English for granted
 But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
 Quicksand takes you down slowly
 Boxing rings are square
 And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
 
 If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
 If the plural of tooth is teeth
 Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
 If the teacher taught,
 Why didn't the preacher praught.
 
 If a vegetarian eats vegetables
 What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
 Why do people recite at a play
 Yet play at a recital?
 Park on driveways and
 Drive on parkways
 
 You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
 Of a language where a house can burn up as
 It burns down
 And in which you fill in a form
 By filling it out
 And a bell is only heard once it goes!
 
 English was invented by people, not computers
 And it reflects the creativity of the human race
 (Which of course isn't a race at all)
 
 That is why
 When the stars are out they are visible
 But when the lights are out they are invisible
 And why it is that when I wind up my watch
 It starts
 But when I wind up this observation,
 It ends.
