Helpful Little Book
I like that the activities are low or no prep. Several of them could be used in other types of classrooms or for other topics. The explanations are clear. Unfortunately for me, I won't be able to use all 39 activities because several are too difficult for the level of students I have. I will keep the book in case I teach students with a higher level of English in the future.

Okay, some ideas. I mainly ordered to see what the author was up to.
Not too much that I could use, but, when you read someone else's work, sometimes, you get inspiration that you might have had, had you not been grousing about how what you were reading was not giving you what you need. I think the author might have a different kind of student than the ones I am working with, where they don't really want to be in class, but they are getting a deal on a student visa (as nearly as I can tell)..

What a value!
The kindle version is only 99 cents and the format has so many extras! I have get to find an activity I dislike. Very well organized and easy to use.

Excellent source for activities to enliven the class and engage students in student-centered learning. All ESL books by Jackie Bowen have helped me become a better teacher!

The ideas might be great but the tiny print/font is such that I won’t know.
Very small print/font. Too bad as I like the author’s other book (scatter sheets).

This is by far, my favourite book of the collection, it has great no-prep or low-prep activities that can save you if you have to improvise during class or if you want to reward your students with a little game without having to prepare much beforehand.

Good ideas
In an nut shell...these are functional, clear and handy activities to have in your teaching arsenal. Of the handful that I have used in Japanese university pre-intermediate classes, all have been generally successful...in that the students responded to the tasks okay, completed them successfully and for the most part without tears or gnashing of teeth!

Gute Ideen aber Vorbereitung zur Umsetzung ist nötig
Ich habe neue Inspiration für meinen ESL Unterricht gesucht. Dieses Buch gibt einige Ideen, viele sind aber gängig/ bereits bekannt. Es ist also keine Offenbarung. Der Titel mit "no-prep/low-prep" hatte mich gelockt, leider ist er irreführend. zB "Small Group Board Game" sieht voraus, dass man das Brettspiel selber erstellt. Es gibt keine Kopiervorlagen.
