The learning process enlivened!

As a result of your games, I managed to greatly enliven the learning process, which led to satisfaction on both sides. I am lucky to work with motivated students at one of the best language schools in Moscow, called Lzmaylovskaya Gymnasium #1508. I have students from ages 8 to 18.

Your games books have proven to be a huge asset.

Your books have become invaluable as I have had to transition from predominantly corporate work to teens and young learners.

I am now in Quang Ngai, Vietnam, in somewhat primitive working conditions with zero resources and several of my IELTS and corporate classes do not even have a textbook. Your games books have proven to be a huge asset, especially when you take into consideration my 33 hours a week face time. Many thanks. Kudos to you and your entire network.

Organization, creativity and clarity of the game descriptions

I am absolutely pleased with my purchase of Shelley Vernon’s 175 activities for teaching English to adults and teens. I am a new ESL teacher in Canada, and I am just starting to build up my teaching bookshelf. This book has made an excellent addition to the resources I have so far. Some of the many things I admire about this book is the organization, creativity, and clarity of the game descriptions.

My students told me that they like the games because they have simple rules., are interactive and fun! I teach a variety of classes to professional adults, and I feel that these games are perfect for the adult level. This book has shown me that adults love to have fun too while they learn. In fact, they learn and remember more when they participate in an activity that encourages them to apply what they have learned. I highly recommend this book of games to any teacher who is wanting to have a more exciting classroom.

See positive changes quickly

You will quickly see the positive changes in the learning acquisition and attitudes of your students.

Enough games, tips and ideas for a lifetime of teaching English to adults

I have purchased your 175 Activities for Teens and Adults Learning English and 176 English Games for Children, Fun Preschool Games and Stories. I treasure these resources much, as I have learnt so much about teaching in, always, fun, new and exciting ways. My students love my lessons and you supply enough games, tips and ideas for a lifetime of teaching.

I never expected SO much in this book! Awesome! Thank you! You have written a book just like I started to do several years ago, but never seemed to have found the time to keep it up! Well, now you have saved me having to write one! I will be going through this book over the holiday season and planning my lessons for the next 6 months and beyond! Thank you again Shelley!

Well worth the money!

The most popular teacher around

I ordered your book 2 or 3 years ago – it really made me the most popular teacher around.

Low on prep, easily adaptable for all language

I have been an ESL teacher for 13 years and I find these games are exactly what I would have prepared myself if I had the time or inclination. They are very low on prep, mostly speaking based, and are easily adaptable for all sorts of language objectives.

None of them are infantile and yet they can easily turn a boring drill into a worksheet-free activity. They are exactly what I wanted to spice up my lessons.

This is the kind of teacher she wants to be!

I can’t thank you enough for your ebook. I am doing my TEFL certificate via correspondence here and your wonderful and sound advice have given me just the reference points and guidance I feel I need. Thank you again, hearing the words and seeing the methodology of such a passionate teacher has made the all difference in my ability to see clearly the kind of teacher I want to be.

Improved involvement and motivation right away!

I downloaded the book without problems and used a game in my adult beginners class yesterday. A big improvement in involvement and motivation was immediately apparent. Thanks.

A great investment because this teacher is using the book all the time.

Thanks so much, Shelley! Buying your book has been one of my best investments as a new teacher, because I use the activities all the time! I am an ESL teacher in Thailand.

These 14 year olds went from not liking English to wanting more!

All your hard work has really paid off in my classes. Some of the 14 year olds who didn’t like English at all keep asking me when I’m coming back for the next lesson !! The other teachers are amazed !!

Lesley Chauvier, France

What a gold mine you have just sent me! Your material is absolutely awesome! The visual is great and your adding extra blank cards is so convenient! You have wonderful ideas and this will make your book even more fun to use.
