This game is for beginner level students and checks vocabulary. The player has to choose the word that does not belong to the group. I have tried this game with my relative and he learnt a lot of words.

The activity consists of flashcards. Below the pictures there are some words. The teacher can cut the pictures and the words and ask the students to find the corresponding pictures and words. Teachers can assign it as a group or an individual work. This activity is more suitable for class work. I gave this activity to my daughter and she was interested in it. She asked me to give her more activities like that. So, I decided to give such activities to my beginner group students.

This activity is good for developing students' comprehension. How they would analyze the sentence which is given with the missing word. In this game students are provided with some help in the case of if they are not able to guess the answer. It helps students play with the words, match them with the given blank boxes and then fulfill them. I tried this activity with my 2 EEC students. They worked on it as a group and it was productive. The students got motivated because they were trying to guess the missed word the first.

This activity is good for teaching sports and hobbies. It helps students play with the words categorize them according indoor/outdoor activities. I tried this activity with my EEC students. They worked on it as a group and it was productive. There were several new words on the worksheet that we did not cover, I asked the students to guess whether they were indoor or outdoor activities and they succeeded. The students got motivated because I told them it is a competition, and it worked. As a result I got from all four groups right answers;-)

This game can work well especially with pre-intermediate and higher level students of all age groups. It can be used to review the previous vocabulary. The PDF is available at http://www.teach-this.com/images/games/ten-words.pdf

I have tried this activity with my group of advaned learners, and it was really efficient, as they are used to learn the words through glossaries.Besides,it helped to enhance their vocabulary adding some new words with their definitions.

The students see many objects and are given a list of names which they should match with their pictures. The names of the objects have more than one meaning. Students are then given sentences where they are going to use the words in other meanings. They can use either logic or dictionary to find different meanings for these names which will fit in the sentences. This activity will work effectively both in the classroom and outside the classroom. It can also be assigned for individual and group work. My students were really interested in the activity. They asked each other, worked collaboratively, also used dictionary and sometimes asked for my help. The output was productive as in the end students remembered all the words.

This game gives the student the opportunity to activate his/her vocabulary. It provides the student with eight letters and the student has to make up as many words with these letters as possible. Good game for individual and group work. My students liked it but they said that they had better play this game at home. They confessed that this game if played regularly activates passive vocabulary.

This is a nice speaking activity that could work with both intermediate and advanced level students. It helps the learners to practice their vocabulary, cohesion and transition words, as well as enables the students to use their creativity. This activity might also develop impromptu speech since the students are required to create their story orally, consequently there will be some spontaneous changes.

I tried this activity with my C4A group. The topic was wild animals and this activity was excellent in terms of improving spelling and reinforcing the vocabulary on animals, You can also try this out!

Please scroll down the webpage to see the activitity Who shall survive? This communicative activity requres students to make decisions, use the language to persuade the others.

We found a number of good activities that we can use in our class, for example, pictionary or bingo, word association, etc.

A game to practice food vocabulary (fruit, vegetables, drinks, meat, desserts...). Students should find foods indicated by chief's list on the side by click on them in a kitchen. I piloted this game with a 12 years-old neighbor of mine, who studies English at elementary level. He was pretty much engaged in the game. Though the food list at side is restricted, foods in the kitchen are not. This makes students to look around to find the food indicated rather than simply choose from a limited set of choices. As there are other food items as well, it also provides an opportunity to teach new food vocab. When the list is done for the 1st time, playing the game again allows to practice new items and a new list is provided. It's definitely more interactive than usual paper-based activities. In case of using it in a class, the teacher can also add some speaking tasks for group work.

I tried it and it works. Thanks, nice!!!!

Oh Addeh jan I liked the game which was about "preposition of place". reaaly it was very interesting and easy to remember the places of the objects playing this game.
