This is a very good source for making the workisheets of your need. The only thing that you should do is to choose a theme and a new random list. I used this source with my Prep 2A kids for teaching them numbers and animals, and the worksheets were very useful as the kids liked them very much.

This is a wonderful activity for developing students' listening, reading (skimming and scanning), speaking skills, as well as increasing vocabulary. it contains variety of activities which are based on the listening. Moreover, all the activities can be done both online and on paper (all materials are printable including the transcript of the audio). It contains a pre-watching vocabulary activity the story a comprehension activity a language activity about idioms I used this material with my two intermediate students. Though the level was lower I have decided to try. In order to help them I wrote down the words/expression that they might be unknown and discussed them before listening. Then they listened to the audio but still had difficulties to understand completely what the audio was mainly about. In order to solve the misunderstanding I have decided to give the transcripts to read while listening (It helped much to understand). I used the third activity to check whether they could scan and skim the information (they could as I guess reading helped them very much). The last activity was a multiple choice activity where the students should look at the given idioms and choose the best meaning. Suggestion- If your students are not high intermediate/advanced the process will be slowed down. Just use transcript and after listening discuss the text. It will help.

This is a good listening activity, where learners will listen to a story and get used to coping with noise when listening. They can listen to the story with and without subtitles. Then they can answer comprehension questions. Alternatively, it is a good story - a part of Halloween party, and students can describe the clothes and characters they see.

This activity will develop students' creativity and will enrich their vocabulary through writing a letter and choosing different words from the given options. Besides, this activity will teach how to write a letter to someone because it also provides important tips for writing a letter.

Picture Word Game - A reverse hangman game, in which you uncover pieces of a hidden picture with every letter you guess. Another challenging game that keeps your brain massaging and tempting:)))

It's similar to a car-racing game for kids with a funny interface, where a penguin is skiing. It differs from standard racing games in that it doesn't let the penguin go out of the road. Though it cannot be used for developing language skills, it's a fun activity for kids.

It is very a interesting and engaging game and a bit challending to play. It's a perfect game to learn spelling and to guess the words having only discriptions/definitions of them in a given time limit.

This game can be played on line or again with the use of handouts. In case if you don't want to use it online, then the best option is to prepare cards with the word and the articles below, as in the online version. And have the students answer every time you show one card. You can choose one students to answer or make it a competition on "first answered gets a star" This can be engaging and motivating.

This is a classroom game where students answer questions to win billions. This game is a good practice for plural nouns. I have tried this game with my 10 years old student (beginner level) who liked this game very much mainly because it was the prototype of a famous game "Who wants to become a millionaire?". Though he did not win when he played for the first time, however he tried for several times unless he won.

In this speaking activity students think about and discuss a city they would like to live in for a year. The activity is based on themes from the British Council OPENCities project.

Good for engaging students in a creative and fun poem-writing activity. While writing the poem, Ss can hold the "alt" key and click on a word to find a rhyme for it.

This is a listening vocabulary game for beginners - a productive and interesting way for practicing the target vocabulary. Ss need to turn on their speakers or put on their headphones, click the top and match with the bottom.

This game serves for elementary students to practice their skills in food vocabulary. The game is good not only in terms of food names but also because it helps practice names of food portions (e.g. "a lump of sugar," "a bar of chocolate," etc.

This cartoon can be used to practice the four skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening. Suggestion on how to use: Before students listen/read the story, they are pre-taught some new vocabulary used in the story. Then students can play the story in pictures while they're listening to it. They can click on the button "READ" to turn off and on the text. It's better if the first time, they listen to the story with the text on (reading while listening). Then, they will listen to the story with the text off and see if they can still understand. (listening) When they feel confident, they can watch the story again with the text off and try to tell the story along with the pictures, without reading (speaking). You can also ask them to write this tale down as a composition (about 250 words or more if you want to). Vocabulary can also be boosted through story. Students can also come up with their own ideas by discussing where they would go if they had a magic carpet. I tried this with my young advance elementary students and it was pretty successful. we had also a very engaging discussion in which students said they would have gone if they have had a magic carpet. They also very much liked the cartoon itself.

In this game your learners are to unscramble a word of 8 letters and make a meaningful word.

This is a game that may be appropriate for all levels starting from low-intermediate. This game suggests some letters and the player should make as many words with these letters as possible. There is a time limit, and the words that are not correctly spelled are not recognized. At the end all the possible words are suggested. I tried that myself and it was a real fun, the best thing for this game is to think FAST!

Dear all, here is a link where I found a collection of strange signs. You may enjoy sharing it with your students or colleagues. Actually it is not an activity but it is an excellent raw material for creating a good activity. For example you may ask your students to decide what is wrong in these signs and getting students to correct them. Since the list is very funny and authentic I think it is very motivating for discussing it too so this may become a very good topic for the classroom discussion. Anyway I think you may create an excellent activity for the development of your students' speaking skills.

Hang mouse is an excitement game for elementary level players; it is very fruitful for vocabulary enhancement. I like the way it is designed and animated, there are also some sound effects thus the game is attractive and dynamic.

the activity is pretty challenging. It fits intermediate and higher level students. One can choose the topic, there is a range of it, then go on guessing a word. usually there are 7 guess chances which did motivated the stduent. He really enjoyed the activity, however I think students will enjoy even more if they have already some knowledge of the topic, then it gets really interesting.

Listen to a sentence and then click the word that's asked for. Very basis level of reading. Might work well for beginning readers who already have a solid oracy skills in English like native speaking kids.
