Definitely the teaching ideas. The tips I?ve found interesting include: discussing about past holidays, card games such as memory, matching (past simple activities), usage of diaries and journals (past continuous activities ? this is something what is not commonly used in teaching practice and would certainly refresh the learning process), story-telling (which I find excellent to demonstrate the differences between past tenses).
