I found some decent games on another site not to be named as one of my schools uses this book. I also used templates and added this books vocab. of course it's all on the computer there. I can't get to it for 3 weeks. I have to admit it was hard to make 26 questions for bomb game reviews out of the material.
Yeah, I just discovered that now. This site is better for many of the other books though. I will take some of my stuff from Cheonje and YBM and put it into the Daekyo files and reword some of it I guess. I contribute a lot here and so do a few other foreigners. But a lot do diddly squat it seems.
I think both sites have good stuff. I had difficulty uploading stuff and sort of gave up. now that it's not as hectic, I can try again. but I can't get to Daekyo until late Aug. not helpful if you need something now. I actually prefer the Daekyo DVD book to the YBM one I mostly use. I find most of the phrases they use in both books are not natural for me. and WHY is YBM using the last name Gim and not Kim???
I did find some okay things on the other site. I personally prefer to avoid things with complex sets of directions. I don't like having to explain especially if some co teachers don't translate the directions well. It's why I stick with certain basics easy to explain. Just my personal preference. Nothing wrong with any others. Especially if you are at a rich school with very advanced kids.
I heard the Daekyo books are the least popular. My school uses Daekyo for 3rd and 4th grade, but for 5th and 6th grade they uses Cheonjae. My coteachers actually say they wish we would have gotten Daekyo instead of Cheonjae because we don't like the Cheonjae books. I hope you can find some good materials for the books!

I prefer the Daekyo DVD to the ones I've mostly used, simply because the voices are much more consistent and generally natural.With the others, you often see someone who can clearly speak English then they get a voice-over by someone who isn't timed to where the mouth is moving, might be able to sort of speak clearly (usually they don't), and who sounds nothing like the person you see on the screen.Although "Gim" instead of Kim comes from a change in romanization and some change in Korean pronunciation. Back in the day, everything beginning with "ㄱ" was spelled with a "k". Nowadays, the official way is to spell them with a "g"; hence, 경주 is now Gyeongju instead of Kyungju like the past. And people have tended to pronounce that a little bit more like a "g" over time. So, it seems the publisher went with that, even though most people stick with the "k" because of tradition.
Thanks. I think I found some more since on the other site. Also, I am transferring a few of my cheonje and ybm materials and rewording them too. I will have 4 sets of books second semster. Cheonje 5 and 6 at 2 schools. One of those schools also has 3 and 4 YBM Choi. My 3rd school has YBM Kim. My new 4th school uses Daekyo 5 and 6. But I only meet each grade every two weeks so I won't have to make much material thankfully.
I am glad you found some other materials. I don't know how you keep track of everything! Thank you for the materials you have already made and for the materials you will make. Are your new materials different than what you made in the past? My students are still doing a combination of coming to school and studying online. I am not teaching them in person yet because my school is so big that they can't figure out a schedule for me. Even the Korean English teachers aren't seeing all of their classes when the students are here. But I know when they are here that they can't do pair or group work and can't do activities where they share items or touch each other, so a lot of the activities I did in the past would be out. Have you had to change your materials you make because of that?
I have found that myself and a few other teachers from my main school simply makes their own powerpoints or finds some on an online teaching resource site.
