Closing Ceremony

A long-anticipated meeting at the karaoke-bar has been wonderful! There was much fun, singing, dancing, performing and enjoying music and English.

Each team invited the others to join their dances and songs.

My Great Thanks

My greatest gratitude to my student Zayana who has spent -I hope! - marvelous time as my substitute!

I had the opportunity to take photos of six various stations during the remarkable 'USA tour'!

Lesson on Famous People

At The Narn-Sun Times lesson the campers were offered a VOA clip from the Skype session on meeting famous people. We were discussing the importance of listening to various accents and different opinions from the whole world.

Board Games

Team 1 wasn't numerous, but lively and energetic. They were playing 'Word Up' and 'Scrabble'. Those word games are challenging but fascinating.

I offered the campers to become superheroes and spend the lesson standing! At the end of the lesson I asked the kids and teens to guess the reasons. Some expressed a bit closer opinion.
