Activities I use most often include things like games, stories, Pinterest, flash cards, websites, worksheets, books, magazines and role plays for children and adults alike! I often do spontaneous activities, themed activities, and use lots of colour, video, music and interaction.
I also make use of some great textbooks, which may or may not be used depending on your ability level, class type and so on.
I always use high-quality, up-to-date resources as I believe these are key for an enjoyable and current learning experience.
