Talking about holiday songs, this is Denis Leary's take on life ... titled 'Life's gonna suck when you grow up'. Not for classroom use :)

Little children, big challenges (this is Sesame streets meets divorce). Videos, interactives and more ... make sure watch the video at the bottom!

Interesting series by the BBC: Big Fat Gypsy Weddings. I edited one of two episodes and discussed the issues raised. Funnily enough, most students were shocked to see roma youth speaking much better English than themselves :) So, here is the link to the whole series on Free TV

 

Here is a SMART Notebook material on Family - with audio where a native speaker of English talks about his family. (B1)

This is a whole book on body language.

This is a material I've developed and used many a time, it's called From rags to riches - it has a set of rolecards on some famous peole's lives who started out really poor - use it to create a communication gap exercise - takes at least 30 minutes and produces plenty of language.

This ia a SMART Notebook file and lesson plan on Teenagers. (B1)

This is another SMART Notebook file on gender differences - Men and Women. (B2 and above)

Yet another SMART Notebook material on Personality. Plenty of interaction, plenty of language produced.

SMART Notebook material with plenty of audio on the topic of Family - questions, recorded answers and a lot more.

This is an easy vocabulary game on members of the family (A1-A2). Fun to use, but the lack of apostrophes is a little disturbing, make sure your students write father's, not fathers.

Tons of conversation questions on the topic of 'Family', from ITESLJ.

First world problems - these are funny problems the rich world has. Here is a page with the PICTURE search results of 'first world problems'. It is fun but also an eye-opener to many of my students. Also, check out this First world problem creator.

This is a collection of hundreds of cartoons on family issues (if you can see past the comic sans that is being used for the captions :)
