"For over ten years, Index Card Games for ESL has been one of our most popular titles at Pro Lingua Associates. Countless teachers have told us in one way or another, "they work". And during these past ten years, they have continued to work for me and have stimulated me to play around with other types of games and activities based on the simple index card. The result is this collection - More Index Card Games and Activities.

The descriptions of how to make and use the various games are, I believe, self-explanatory, so there is no need in this introduction to labor that point. However, for those who are not familiar with our previous book, let me point out that what you are holding is basically a "cookbook" that tells you how to make and play the games, and supplies a few sample games to get you started. Please feel free to copy the sample games, cut and past them on card stock - and laminate them. But more important, I hope this book hooks you on the power and vitality of pieces of language on small individual pieces of paper such as the common 3 x 5 index cards. And furthermore, I hope this little book stimulates you to create new twists, new games, and games that fit your particular teaching context." (Introduction, p. 1)
