I like this activity very much, if I have opportunity I will definitely try this one, I think it'll motivate students and set a positive atmosphere in the classroom.
This activity can be played either with teenagers or even kids. It is engaging and brings active interaction into the classroom. All the students are involved in the activity at the same time. It is also exciting for the teacher as he has to create questions during the activity aside from those prepared. Finally it is competition among the student which works perfect most of the times. Enjoy.
This activity is a great one for pair work. Present Perfect is the best to be practiced on activity work sheets like this. Enjoy. I do practice them in my class. Students work individually at first, then they turn to their partner and work with him.
This is an online game you can use if you use technologies in the class. Otherwise, you might print them out and provide handouts to your students. This game can be played in pairs or individually. Or you may want to divide your students into two groups. Provide with two boards or flipcharts and have two groups work separately within a certain time limitation to complete the assignment. The group that finishes first wins and gets a price, star, etc.
This activity is beneficial for low-intermediate and/or intermediate students. Due to this activity students will expand their vocabulary related to animals!
This is a nice group speaking activity that will best suit pre-intermediate and intermediate students. It requires students to think creatively critically to justify their choices.
This is a lively activity that can be used for practicing four language skills, as well as for reinforcing students' memory. It can work with pre-intermediate, intermediate and advanced level students by choosing passages with different levels of complexity.
This is a very interactive activity for those learners who want to start story writing. They choose an appropriate theme, the corresponding grade, enter their names and spin the four wheels which instruct them what the topic is. Believe me it's really a good tool to use. I tried it on my sister and she liked it very much.
Education is part of life. It should be fun and challenging... not boring. Children should learn while they are playing. It is impossible to imagine any educational or professional experience without using typing. This skill can be very successfully learnt if it is taught when children are pretty little. I tried this activity with my little son, niece and nephew they find it interesting to try typing the words correctly and quickly. Frequently they failed but tried again and again to insure they could make it.
The game will help the learners to remember the locations in the world more easily. The more they play the faster they can drag each country map to the correct location in the Earth. My neighbour' s 14 and 15 year-old children found the game quite entertaining and wanted to try it again to do it faster.
In general I have found the BBC Words In the News site to be very good. Here is a video exercise I found. It's probably best for int. to upper int. students. The Video includes and a PDF of the script can be downloaded separately if you wish. and there is an exercise included to reinforce the new grammar.
This game with 10 questions is suitable for 11 to 14 year olds. It tests sentence knowledge. What is great about it, is that it gives the player a second chance to answer the same question. If it is still wrong, a third time, then it gives the right answer.
This game can be played alone or with another player. It reminds the "Jeopardy" board with points, whereby the player must choose from and the questions are more challenging when the points are higher. The question appears right away and when the answer is correct, the player gains points and the next player chooses a category. If it is incorrect, the correct verb is given. The point board is shown every time you choose a category. Thought there is no flash, my students enjoyed it and thought it was a good way to review irregular verbs.
The purpose of this activity is to know when to use past simple and past continuous, within one sentence. It consists of 10 sentences and gives you the grade at the end with the corrections and a short explanation. Best for ages 11 and up.
