I’m supposed to be in Germany today, but with all the typhoon like winds and cancelled flights in Europe at the moment I’ve suddenly found a spare day, which means I can also update the blog!

Reader Dawna sent me an email yesterday. She sent in a very nice idea of using the Mr Wolf game , but for teaching “How much?”

1. The kids ask you “How much is it?” and you say the price.
2. They move this number of steps.
3. If you say “It’s free!” they have to run back to their base.

It’s a great variation similar to the Nemo game or How are you monster? game.

Dawna also asked about fun ideas for teaching School Subjects. This is another one of those themes that I find really difficult as usually the kids don’t have that much passion about it! I suggested simply using “What’s your favourite subject” as the question then playing one of the basic vocab games such as gokiburi, island hopping etc.

But if you have any suggestions on how to make “School subjects” fun then please write in and I’ll share them with everyone here.

Right, off to the airport again, and I’m looking forward to trying the How much game with the Wieviel kostet das? song tomorrow!
