Hide the Scissors: 50 Classroom Tricks for Teachers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798175882347)

50 classroom tricks. One goal: get students doing more.

Hide the Scissors is a practical collection of tried-and-tested teaching ideas developed over more than thirty years in real classrooms.

Each trick is explained simply and brought to life with a comic strip, so you can see at a glance how the activity works before adapting it to your own students and subject.

Inside you'll find ideas for pairwork, group work, speaking, classroom routines, online teaching, revision, vocabulary, movement, games and those awkward moments when an exercise simply needs more energy.

Most activities require little preparation. Many take only minutes to set up. And although the examples often come from language teaching and adult education, the ideas can be adapted across subjects and age groups.

No complicated theory. No perfect-classroom fantasy. Just practical ideas you can actually use.

Less teacher talk. More student action. Better lessons.
