How many different pieces of furniture can your students mention? Fewer than 10? If so, click on the link below and try these activities out with them:
- The Memory Game
- The Quiz with Pictures
- The Type-in Game

If your students are older, you may have them work on the interactive task entitled Song as they listen to “Imagine”, by John Lennon.

And how about challenging them to describe their ideal world in Creative Writing? They could print their projects and share them with their classmates and/or send them to someone by mail. How idealistic are your students? How different are their worlds?
