Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
When you have time look at these beautiful videos and practice English:

What do you think? TIC -TAC-TOE
ESL Tic-Tac-Toe - Conditional Forms
Tic-Tac-Toe games are a fun way for students to practise their English while enjoying some competition. The exercise is rather intuitive:
1.Distribute the tic-tac-toe sheet.
2.Students complete the sentence with one of the conditional forms.
3.Students score an X or O for each sentence that is grammatically correct and makes sense.
4.This game is best played as a class with the teacher checking answers. However, with larger classes, the game can also be played in pairs while the teacher goes around the room checking answers.
See the tic-tac-toe exercise in this website:
http://esl.about.com/library/lessons/bl_ttt_conditionals.htm
What is your opinion about this game? Is it OK to use games to teach grammar?
Can you think of another way to teach Conditionals?
