Students playing a fun Christmas board game 🎄🎲 while learning Christmas vocabulary, prepositions, and how to ask & answer questions! Roll the die, land on a picture, ask “Where is the ___?” 🙋‍♀️✨ “The candy cane is on the tree!” Snow much fun!

Kids playing a fun barrier game while learning to give clear instructions, use prepositions, and really listen. With three spots, they practice words like first, middle, last—and asking questions when instructions aren’t clear. Learning through play!

International Phonetic Alphabet - Are any universities offering this as a class? This would be helpful for teaching ELL and for learning languages too! The video is in French, but it is the best explanation I have heard. https://t.co/8CNXTa5JMm
