Thanks again for all the amazing feedback:
Vol. 12 is fantastic and has many songs that I think will be popular with 5th and 6th graders.- Kobekid in Japan

I think the teachers pack is too cheap because:
a)You can teach all the topics according with the curriculum.
b)You save time in preparing classes.
c)Pupils learn more with Genki English than with any other method because it has got the most wonderful CDS, songs, activities, interactive activities you have ever seen.
d)It’s the funniest method you can find all over the word.
e)If you are a VIP member, as I am, Richard sends activities free and also from other teachers who are VIP members.
f)Pupils love Genki English, love learning English, are happier and you as teacher feel better.
Can’t say fairer than that!
OK this is one for your higher level kids and comes from Margit in the VIP forum.
1. First off all run through the original rooms of the house with “Where is Baby Monkey?”
2. Do the new Haunted House song.
3. Print out both sets of mini cards and get the kids to see how many differences they can see!
Some are really easy (e.g. colour changes etc.) but there are also lots & lots of really detailed differences as well. So if have any kids who are obsessed with “Where is Wally?” or just want some fun homework, this is for you.
You can also print out the A4 versions to put on the wall for your Halloween party.
OK, more things to come tomorrow when hopefully the typhoon will let me get back to work properly!
Be genki,
Richard
P.S. I couldn’t figure out a way to make the vol. 12 offer finish at everyone’s local midnight. So if you want to sneak in the back door I’ll keep the special price on till it is midnight in Hawaii i.e. a few hours after this email goes out, check the page to see if you are in time!
Richard,
inspired by gumby’s game from yesterday I got several other minor ideas.
Would it be possible to get a set of GE characters on one sheet?
I mean as minicards. They are all around, and to print them there are always other cards coming along; I think we could need them put together; so we have:
Aigo, Baby Monkey, superhero, rockstar, the pirate (BM as well but for kids it’s a pirate), the Gingerbread Man without doubt will be a new star, anything else? The Halloween Characters are all together so I didn’t think about those.
Great idea, Margit!
How about Grandma Monkey, Mr. Skeleton, Mr. Octopus and does the bear in the picture book have a name?
Good ideas! I’ll get on it over the weekend. For the time being, here are individual mini cards that have some of them:
