Relax and Have Fun!!

Hi all and sorry for this off-topic,

But last week I found a page full of relaxiong music which is a great help for me when I have to work long hours alone with my computer (well, not so along... there is always a webhead on-line!).

It is like a chart or relaxing and New Age music to listen and even to buy if you want to. But they offer the possibility to listen a song from each CD one after the other. I have my computer conected
to the Hifi and they sound really great!

I hope you like them,

Hi everyone,

At the risk of adding to your pile of emails to get through, you're probably wondering how I cope with all the work Webheads entails. 

Well, the anwswer, is ...

take a break now and then, play ...

Besides the music Maria recommends, here are a couple of neat things:

There's an interesting mystery game here.  Simple but well done

enough to maintain interest:

Here, I had a look at the Desperate Dad

http://www.zap.ca/ 

 The latter was particularly well done. These games can get your students engaged with the language and lead to collaboration, breaking into groups, formulating and testing hypotheses, getting back with a report to the class, predicting how you might solve the problem, and recapping how success was achieved.

If you've ever played with dolls (or wanted to) you might like this one:

What can you do with this?  I make a character and describe it to you.  You try to get yours to look exactly like mine based on my description.  At the end of the 'game' we compare and try to work out how we went off.

Not sure how you'd use this with students, but it's a kick:

You may have some ideas though.

Have fun,

Vance
