 |

I've never been in this situation before. Last semester the principal used the money to buy himself lunch.
Does anybody have some good suggestions for activities or events which we could spend the money on? |

| How much money are you talking about? If it's not much how about a Christmas party? |

It's about $60. I suggested food but the principal will probably shoot down that idea-- he rejected a proposal to buy glue sticks for summer camp.
I can't really think of any wholesome sounding activities to spend the money on. |

What about just getting supplies?
If you get board games, you could use them for a game night and then keep them afterwards. I dont know how easily you can find these in korea, but maybe games like scrabble or twister.
Or buy lots of stickers, stamps and blank journals for rewards.
Or if you want an activity, you could have an English talent contest with prizes. For example, short essays on a simple theme, poems, song or rap. |

| You can't burn much with $60. That's just enough for a few pizzas, a couple of orders of chicken and drinks. I'm sure the principal will come up with something and you'll never hear about the money again. |

I think $60 might be enough for a quickie with the K-hookers in 588 or Itaewon. I'm sure the thought had crossed the principal's mind. |

There are some board games that you can buy that are beneficial to your students learning English. Headbanz and Jenga (with questions written on the block) spring to mind.
OR you could use the money for English camp and an activity like teaching them how to cook non-Korean food. |

Guess Who is a great one. I have a couple sets of that and my tech high school kids really get into it. Bought three sets of Scrabble for my advanced middle school kids last year (my tech HS kids build little designs or bad words with scrabble, even misspelling some of them).
I'd be all over the games. They are awesome, they are literally a lesson in a box that can be used a couple times with each class. Always a great way to reward a class and still be productive. |
