And here is a Taboo review game for Unit 8's vocabulary. You might want to add pictures, but I decided against. Instructions are in the PPT.

As part of this unit my students made postcards about themselves and I sent them to the middle school in my hometown as a start for an old fashion pen pal exchange.

Wondered if anyone else had tried this and if so, how did it turn out?

I love that idea. How did you "make" the postcards?

I bought heavy card paper and cut it to postcard size; A4 into A5 works but it can be a little smaller.
On one side they wrote a short letter and added decoration.
On the other side they wrote the address like you would for an envelope.

Another idea is large index type cards.

I found both at my nearest Alpha {stationary} store.

I found the ppt on waygook...Just added flags and adapted the dialogue for my kids (It's similar to the text on page 105).
We went through each slide and had a brief discussion on each.  I ended the lesson with a worksheet from here

It's really useful to see what other people are doing with these lessons.  Especially at this point in the year when imaginations start flagging... Certainly I'm starting to feel pretty flat.  Thanks for all your posts guys especially these macro games, btw if anyone can recommend a good book to teach me how to start making these games I'd really appreciate it.  I'm pretty good with ppt but I'm lost when it comes to macro.  :o
