 A Power Point presentation on common hobbies or free time/leisure activities. Feel free to edit and add hobbies that are common to your students' locality. It's a good material to get your students talking. Cheers!!!

Hobbies

I used my local and international cartton characters to help my very weak and demotivated pupils to learn simple sentence writing. And at least I won their interests. I use this kind of thing for classroom purpose. Hope it's useful for others.

W&A games

Students read about countries. They write about a holiday they take to the country with what they see, eat, and do. They draw photographs from their holiday of where they were. They must dress up a paper man in the local clothes, make the country's flag, and cut out the country outline. All of this can be put on a poster board and presented at the end of class. 

Countries Holiday Project

This presentation is about travels, destinations, attractions and tourists. It is made particularly about some particular local destinations but you can just edit and put whichever destinations suit your need

Travels

This PPT shows all the basic facts I could find about the country Belgium. The idea is to introduce to the students the history, the languages spoken, local foods and famous people. This is a good start if you have a series of classes you need to teach on European countries especially in regards to the E.E.C. You could make these slides into a worksheet or even create your own questions and answers.
