I have been using these games on my classes and the result is always very good. Students have much fun. They can learn words, structure and practice speaking skill in a very interesting atmosphere.

And I realised that English games using in my lecture make our relationship, between teachers and learners, become closer and better, and Iam very pleased for that.

My daughter Aurore has learning difficulties and since coming to your classes she has gained in confidence and has improved in all subjects at school.

Last time when I was playing one of your games I heard one my pupils say to another: This is the best teacher in our school

Six months ago, my four year old and my seven year old spent 20 minutes with Shelley using these techniques to learn colours; I was amazed to find that they still remember them all today!

She isn't like the other teachers, she teaches us while playing. It's really fun and you can remember it better.

I have had GREAT success with your program, and want to thank you for your attention to detail, with kind regards,

Pamela Findlay, Canada

Thanks and congratulations because I have found the material most helpful and also inspiring.

Alejandra Morales, Mexico

I finally succeeded in checking the material. They are amazing and interesting as well. They can really make a revolution in my lessons as I see the surprise on the teachers faces. I enjoy impressing them. Also the big confidence I have when I am using your games that even some other teachers adapt them in their classes.

Thanks a lot again Shelley, I appreciate your ideas. They are WONDERFUL!

Anti-Spam Policy

In short we HATE spam, it drive us crazy and makes it difficult for us to get our emails delivered. We feel that sending spam is an activity reserved for sad GITS who do not know how to serve people and contribute to society. People who repeatedly send spam are the scum of the internet.

Thank you for hearing my rant.

We respect you as individuals and will never send you any form of spam.

We only send out emails to people who sign up on the website.

Here is the full policy with all the legal jargon...

TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES is committed to permission-based email marketing practices, and as a result has established this no-tolerance Anti-Spam Policy. TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES will occasionally update this Anti-Spam Policy. When it does, TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES will also revise the "last update" date at the top of this Anti-Spam Policy. For changes to this policy, TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES will notify you (the customer) by placing a notice on its web site home page.

1.	What is Spam?

Spam is commercial email or unsolicited bulk email, including "junk mail", which has not been requested by the recipient. It is intrusive and often irrelevant or offensive, and it wastes valuable resources. Spam messages are the opposite of permission-based email, which are normally anticipated, personal, relevant and/or associated with a pre-existing business or personal relationship. Inappropriate newsgroup activities, consisting of excessive posting of the same materials to several newsgroups, are also deemed to be spam.

2.	Preventing Spam

Customers of TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES products and services have agreed during their registration process, upon accepting the Terms of Use, to comply with this Anti-Spam Policy. Specifically, each customer agrees not to use the TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES products or services to send unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or not for commercial purposes. TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion what constitutes actionable spam, as well as what measures are necessary in response to such spam activities.

3.	How TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES Helps You to Avoid Spamming

TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES uses a strict permission-based philosophy. This anti-spam philosophy is implemented through the following:

(a)

Communication and Agreement – The Terms of Use that you have agreed to as part of registering for the TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES products and services state how and for what purposes you can collect your site visitor addresses, and that you will follow the TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam Policy.

(b)

Unsubscription – Each email created using TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES products contains an “unsubscribe link”. If your web site visitors use the link to request that they be unsubscribed, your subscriber lists will automatically be adjusted to eliminate the prospect of sending unwanted email to such persons. Additionally, each person on your subscriber list has the option of unsubscribing through a web-based method provided on the TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES web site. Customers of TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES who try to remove the unsubscribe link will be warned that they are doing so, and if they persist in having the link removed or deactivated in any way, then TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES will have the right to terminate their account.

(c)

Purchased Mailing Lists - Mass mailings to purchased email lists are not allowed. TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES only allows opt-in mailing lists. Purchased or inherited lists are by definition not opt-in. Similarly, you cannot use an email list relating to particular subject matter, and then use it for an unrelated topic.

4.	Laws Restricting Spam

Spam laws vary from state to state, and from country to country. This TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES Anti-Spam Policy has been developed to conform to the highest commercially reasonable standards. As a result, and without limiting the general prohibitions against all spam activities, the following are expressly prohibited:

(a)	Use of false headers, or other false information, to identify the point of origin or the transmission path of the email, or to hide the true origin of the email sender,

(b)	Unauthorized use of a third party's internet domain name without the permission of such third party, to make it appear that the third party was the point of origin of the email,

(c)	Use of any false or misleading information in the subject line of the email, and

(d)	Assisting any person in using the products or services of TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES for any of these previously mentioned activities.

5.	Questions to Ask Yourself

To help in establishing whether you are participating in activities constituting spam, ask yourself the following questions:

(a)	Are you sending email to non-specific addresses, such as info@domain.com or sales@domain.com?

(b)	Have you deliberately falsified your transmission path information or originating address?

(c)	Are you sending email to mailing lists or distribution lists, which then send indirectly to various other email addresses?

(d)	Have you imported for use a purchased list of any type?

(e)	Are you continuing to mail to anyone who has asked to be deleted from your mailing list?

(f)	Does your email not provide a fully functioning link to unsubscribe?

(g)	Does you email subject line contain false or misleading information?

(h)	Have you used a third party’s email address or domain name without the party’s consent?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you are likely involved in spam activities, and should contact TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES customer support service through the contact form on this site.

6.	Measures to Enforce the Anti-Spam Policy

Any TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES customer found to be using TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES products or services for spamming purposes may, at TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES’s discretion, be immediately cut off from use of all TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES products and services and/or fined US$ 1,000 per occurrence, with no refund of fees that have been paid.

TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES warns all of its customers when signing up that if they participate in spamming activities they will be subject to the loss of TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES services, fines and possible legal action.

TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES has the right to actively review its customers’ subscriber lists and email for suspiciously large broadcasts. If TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES finds any customers to be spamming, it will issue a warning, and if the activities are serious enough, TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES will take action immediately. If TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES has any reason to believe that the customer, despite warning being given, threatens to or is continuing to send spam, then TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES may take action immediately, including disabling the customer’s account and/or reporting the customer and the incident to the proper authorities.

TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES does not attempt to censor any content, nor to curtail the business of its customers. However, spam activities do not fall within uses authorized by TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES, and will not be tolerated.

7.	Reporting Spam

Please provide any other information that you believe may help us in our investigation. TEACHING ENGLISH GAMES does not investigate or take any action based on "anonymous" spam complaints.
