Do you understand the signs in English? 
Here are some of them, and some important words pointed out


Assembly? 



except cycles- Does it mean bikes can go there or not?

Residential?  Resident? 




Recycle?  waste? 





Dogs kept on leads? 
Penalty? Penalty fine? 




Spaces reserved? 
Parents drop and collect children ? 





Does it need any explanation... ? :D

Drilling hard words in a thrilling way :)

Özgen from Turkey presented a very thrilling way of revising and memorizing words that are hard to remember.  
* A 4x4 table is drawn on the board. 
* Words are written into each cell. 
Words are asked from learners: Which word you think is difficult to remember? 
(Or the choice of words could be limited by the unit or vocabulary set that needs to be revised)
* One learner calls out one word (not the one that he or she said but someone else's )
* The person who proposed this word must very quickly call out another word from the table 
* If the word is mispronounced or otherwise false- the player falls out of the game and this person's word is crossed out and must not be said any more 
* when hesitating for too long- the player falls out the game and his/her word is crossed out
