the third point on this site give an example of an activity which an be played with intermediate level students. This is good activity to make students to express ideas in limited time.

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.

This is an engaging game for beginner level learners who want to practice the vocabulary of the parts of the face (hair, eyes, ears, nose, teeth, lips...). This game involves reading and recognizing these items in order to make a face. My sister is an intermediate level student, however she liked it for practicing the vocabulary.

This is an interesting activity for kids to repeat letters, extend vocabulary, to pronounce the words correctly. For children who can read this crossword puzzle gives an opportunity to recognize words in written form and practice reading. I have practiced it with my 5 year old son and, though he can not read, he has learnt a lot of new words

An interesting way of stimulating students to practise their identification skills through language. The students will participate in an investigation and try to find the wanted person in each case.

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 an engaging writing activity in which students create an amusing group story! It could work with elementary and pre-intermediate level students.

a little spooky but fun. I like the audio that comes witih it :-)

An intermediate game. One should find the objects in different horror rooms. The hint is the first letter. For ex. "I spy with my little eye something beginning with C... in the conservatory". The game is funny, interactive, and it enriches one's vocabulary. By aunt is an English teacher. She liked it and asked me the link for her students.

To be honest at first i was a little bit afraid from the sound :D :D :d later i got used to it :D :D :D i liked the game :d i played it :D though i did not understand what would happen in the end :D

An interactive link which integrates an animated story for kids aiming to make the taching/learning process more interesting and productive. It develops the learners' reading and listening skills as well as tests thier comprehesion skills: the learners need to answer 14 questions that are accompanied by illustrations, photos, and/or animations.

This is a nice LISTENING activity with audio video materials. U can have ur child watch this. After watching perhaps ur child decides to become an interviewer or a weatherforcast man as my sister did. While watching the previous activities she (my sister) decided to become a cook and then she changed her mind and decided to become a weatherforcast woman. The activity is created by the British Coucil. This is a good opportunity to teach your child the names of the countries, continents and flags and quite a lot of adjectives, of course, everything in the target language. Ok, I guess I stop here, as I feel myself like an advertiser. Watch and test it and make ur own judgments. HAVE FUN KIDS.

Again an activity created by the British Council. This is a funny audiovisual activity. Here a dog tells about his life. My sister enjoyed it. This is an activity that will enhance ur child's imagination, reading skills and increase his/her stock of vocabulary.

The game gives an intermediate ESL learner an opportunity to revise his/her knowledge about past tense. This game provides some 'context' where the student can practice his/her knowledge. There is also a level of difficulty in this game i.e. a player can choose from the provided three pts and find the level corresponding to his/her level of language competency. I piloted it with one of my students and he chose the easiest pt and succeeded. After he tried the medium pt and lost 4 points for incorrect choice of form. He tried to do the most difficult one but he did not understand some words in context and couldn't gain needed scores. I would advise EFL teachers to use this game because it enhanced, engaged and motivated my student in language learning.

A very interesting game to practice Past Simple, both irregular and regular verbs.

This is an interactive game practicing grammar (active vs. passive voice). It's for intermediate level of students. I think the learners will be interested in as each correct answer in the gap filling exercise will give them an opportunity to play basetball.

Listen and follow. Repeated listening. 

This interactive story can be used with elementary level students for developing reading. Students can read then listen to a an expert of English articulating the same thing. And this will help them to articulate the word correctly. I tries this with my sister. She liked the activity and most of all its interactivness.

You're a trader in an ancient city. A lot of reading invovled, with a few answer choices in the conversation. Might get alittle boring, but worth a try. 

This is an animated lesson on human body parts and their functions. Learning about the human body becomes easier with this interactive lesson for kids.

This bookmark is very useful for children who start learning vowels and consonants. This game will help them to differentiate vowels from consonants :)

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.

Includes reading, listening, and vocabulary with an interesting topic that could be pulled integrated into a lesson rather easily.
