The first time I saw Cuisenaire rods being used in the language classroom I had no idea how much fun they could be.
Since then I've used them in both adult and young learner classrooms where they have always been received with enthusiasm.
In his book 'Teaching and Learning Languages' (1988) Stevick describes them as: "wooden or plastic blocks one square centimeter in cross section and one to ten centimeters in length. [...] I recommend that you get some for yourself. They are compact, portable and relatively inexpensive, but they are the most versatile teaching aid I know of at any price."
