Hello,
Wow, we've actually had so many great new games on the site this month it's been hard picking one. Enjoy, and keep an eye out for a new ebook of games coming hopefully soon!
.
1. Game of the Month: Kiss Sara
------------
After the rather sad news from New Zealand last week, I made this the "game of the week" for this week. It's from Mido Farid and is very sweet. It's very popular with the ladies and I�'m sure would also be a huge hit in High School.
By the way Sara is Mido�'s daughter.
1. Divide the board in two and draw a baby on each side.
2. Divide the class into two teams. Each team is responsible for one baby.
3. Ask the first students from each team a question.
4. If the answer is correct draw a kiss on their team�'s baby.
5. At the end of the game, the team with the most kisses wins!
If you really wanted you could erase a kiss if a team got a question wrong. But I�'m sure you�fd never be that mean!
.
2. Teaching Videos from Okinawa
------------
I had a 3 day workshop in Okinawa last month - over my birthday weekend. I took quite a lot of video, some of which is already online:
Cops & Robbers "What are you doing?" - great for older kids!

Plus a new video Teachers' Vocal Warm Ups to help protect your voice coming up on Friday:

3. And finally - Tokyo, Asia & Europe
------------
I've just been asked by Seigakuin University to do two lectures for them on July 16th. So I'm also thinking of doing a full two day workshop on the weekend after, the 23rd & 24th July, in Tokyo. Would you be interested? Hopefully it would be a small group one where you get to teach in front of everyone and we rip you to pieces, sorry, give you lots of constructive feedback. It's a great way to improve.
I'm also looking at a workshop in Cambodia in April and maybe even a mini tour of Europe & Eastern Europe later in the year as well.
If you're interested in any of these then shoot me an email at: richard@genkienglis
And enjoy all the new things on the site.
Be genki,
Richard
