I teach in my school ”Playing with English“. It is a subject after regular lesson for children which are eight years old and which want to play and learn English after their lessons. I always use with activities games, because it is very attractive for children. In Portugal I can see new activities which I use in my school. My schoolgirls and schoolboys have good time on my lesson.
