"Thinking Beyond the Textbook"

Just using the textbook gets boring for both students and teachers, but preparing handouts nearly on a daily basis is a time consuming activity for the instructor. Let's think beyond the textbook and the handouts by sharing fun activities which get the students using what they know and practicing what they have learned, but avoiding the textbook.
