Do any of my long-time readers remember Grow Cube and how frustrating and fun I found it? Well, last night I decided to send it to a friend, and looked it up. I sent it, then discovered that I couldn't remember how to do it, so had a frustrating couple of hours trying to figure it out. Got that, then went on to Grow Island and got frustrated all over again. How to stop the house from falling down? My little man fell in love and then DIED! But I got that one, too. Eventually.
And then . . . the doctor came! But then the patient's head fell off! Why did his head fall off?
And so on. Now it's your turn.

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

The grow games rock, I don't usually like that kind of game but he does it well. Also check out the game he does called Tontie.
My problem with these games is once I've figured it out (or taken the solution from someone else as was the case with the original grow), it's pretty much memorised.
I went through them all, seeing if I could remember. The most difficult took me seven attempts.
All in all, 20 minutes :T
Yep. Sometimes it's hard being a geek :P
Now I am late for work, and it is definitely, absolutely YOUR FAULT!!
With double exclamation marks!!
:-)
Ookami Snow: I haven't checked Tonti, yet. I'm too scared. I spent WAY too much time on what I already did.
Hebron: You are way too clever. I couldn't remember a thing. It had been a few years, but still, you'd think I'd remember SOMETHING. I couldn't even remember properly how the cube ended.
Cheryl: Oops. Sorry! But it was worth it, right? Every life needs a little fun and whimsy. (Why does whimsy look wrong? My spell-checker tells me it's right.)
