Review
I've already had success with your games. Yesterday just before going to a lesson I managed to watch a little of the first video with Anna. I had a lesson with two sisters aged 5 & 7 and they, or rather we, had so much fun, they loved both games and just wanted to keep on playing, in fact the 5 year old got quite upset when I told her it was time for me to go home.

Total success with difficult student
My student has difficulty in concentrating and remembering vocabulary etc....I have to say that with your games my lesson was a total success, not only for me but for him as well. He was on the ball whole lesson and at the end he remembered nearly everything. I cannot wait for him to come back next week! Your methods certainly work and they are worth every penny.

This could not be simpler....or more needed
I have just watched all the videos - it's pure gold for me. I love your teaching and learning method a lot. It's simply the illustration of one of my beliefs as a teacher ( Less is more), but I've never succeeded in simplifying things as much as you did.
My pupils really enjoy the games. I also enjoy them. They really need them as they need more variety and so do I. Thank you again for helping me break my limiting beliefs concerning the role of the language games in the classroom.
Cristina Pupaza, Gura Humorului, Romania
Lessons have changed now, thanks to the games.
I just came back from my lesson with an 11 year old boy and he just loved the games (so did I). My lessons were starting to be a bit dull as I had explored all my resources of English games. But that is going to change now, thanks to you.
Nathalie Desmarais, UK
Best lesson ever with the book !
I thought you might like to know I used some of your games with my students this afternoon, I was delighted with the result, firstly the time just flew by with lots of interaction, happy smiling faces, lots of ideas coming from the children themselves, the one usually very quite child was so lively, it was such a pleasure to see his transformation..

- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2015This book contains so many fun, fresh, super easy games that I now use in one-on-one lessons. I found myself struggling to bring fresh ideas when meeting with students, and since using this book I know I certainly won't have that issue any more. I also loved that I didn't have to spend a fortune on extra materials to start using these games; I was able to use various items I had around my home. My kids go crazy for these super simple activities. I'm so thankful to have this resource!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018This book has provided me with endless materials for presenting language, practicing it and reviewing it. It is so creative, children respond to it with pleasure and of course teaching and learning are so much easier when both teacher and student are enjoying it. Children learn through play and these materials build wonderfulky on that natural learning process.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2014I was so excited to see this book! When I first transitioned from classroom to tutoring/teaching online, I did not anticipate how many of my tried-and-true activities would simply not work with only one student. I felt like I needed to reinvent the wheel...until I accidentally stumbled across this book. I have gotten a lot of good ideas and even been reminded of a few games that I had forgotten about... The most unique feature of the book is the videos... which came as a surprise because I didn't notice that they were included when I bought the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Assolutamente consigliato! Highly recommended!
Esattamente quello che cercavo! Sono insegnante ESL di inglese da tanti anni e mamma di 2 figli bilingue. Ho sempre insegnato con i libri e schede ecc, ma cercavo un modo nuovo e differente di insegnare inglese, più come ho fatto con i miei figli, diverso rispetto a come viene insegnato a scuola, in modo più divertente! Questo libro mi ha aiutato tantissimo con tanti nuovi idee da usare con i miei studenti, sia singoli o in piccoli gruppi. Ho già messo in pratica alcuni giochi con un'enorme successo.
I giochi sono facili e tanti richiedono poca preparazione.
Poi l'autrice è stata molto disponibile quando ho le ho scritto una mail. Grazie Shelly! Consigliatissimo!!
Highly recommended!
Just what I was looking for! As a private ESL teacher here in Italy, I wanted to teach my students in a fun and different way compared to how they are taught in school. I was searching for new lesson plans and materials to use with my pupils and I have to say that I have found that in this book. It is absolutely brilliant and has given me loads of new ideas and teaching techniques to try out.
I have already put some of the games into practice with great success. It is written in a simple, comprehensive way, it is easy to follow and the games often require little or no preparation-great for busy teachers!
Shelly too has been very helpful. Thanks Shelly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
I am very pleased with this book - I teach English young children in Spain & this has been so useful. There are so many examples of hames to play to precent lessons becoming boring- I use this book as
My go to resource when I am short of preparation time for a lesson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!
I have bought almost every book from Shelly and love everything she does and talks about. I have been teaching English in France to children (ages 2-12) for quite some time and really enjoy her way of teaching English through games and just having fun. Really great things inside!

5.0 out of 5 stars I just love the material and I wish I had been taught ...
I just love the material and I wish I had been taught like that when I was a kid. As well as the games book there's access to videos online with demo classes and those were a big help for me to see how to do things live, in addition to reading the game descriptions. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to teach a language one on one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mi aspettavo di più
In realtà diversi dei giochi proposti sono più adatti a piccoli gruppi che a singoli bambini.
