  • No Youtube
  • No Yahoo Kids
  • No online games

IF the class is good (quiet, no walking around, following rules, listening), then I will give some FREE TIME at the end of the class. I will write a word, like GAMES, on the board.  I will erase one letter every time someone breaks a rule. If the word is gone, then NO FREE TIME. : (

NOTE: YOU CAN PLAY ENGLISH GAMES ANYTIME!
