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.
Both entertaining and accessible to Intermediate and Upper-Intermediate English Language Learners. You are stuck on a deserted island and have to get off.
Knowing synonyms is important for L2 language learners in order not to repeat the same words in writing or in speaking. Although it is designed for the elementary level, I advise this activity for intermediate level because I experimented with children in elementary level I saw that the words are a little bit more sophisticated.
This is very engaging and fun game for pre-intermediate and intermediate level students. It also includes a bunch of words that can be used for teaching advanced students. I myself enjoyed playing it. There's also way to fasten the speed of falling letters that will be proper to apply with advanced students to increase intrigue and make students think quickly.
This game may be used in elementary-intermediate levels. It gives the definition of the object and one should find and click on the object.
I tried that with one of my pre-intermediate students, she liked it, but the only thing she suggested is that it should also have the names of the objects written.
So, perhaps you could make flashcards from this game and make some additions to it.

I have tried this game with an intermediate and upper intermediate level students and it worked quite well. The only difficulty may the result of culture differences. There may be some set phrases which do not exist in the S's native language, and unfamiliarity with this set phrase may cause come difficulties. However it is very useful and effective.
The readings and projects were incomprehensible for my low intermediate student. I believe students of high intermediate or advanced levels would enjoy the environment of this amazing site especially if they are teenagers. Here, scientific information and doable projects which are quite attractive for teenagers are provided in a simplified language. There is also a printable coloring part which is useful for kids of various ages.
This game is designed for high intermediate EFL student. Through this game, EFL learners can revise their knowledge of job descriptions. This game can be played by one player or two players. Accordingly, it will also promote collaboration between learners.
An EFL intermediate learner had a chance to choose one of the provided choices and decide whether it corresponds to the job description provided in the game or not and accordingly, to gain particular score or not. I tried it with my brother's wife (24 year-old) and she in some cases guessed the write answer. She had some difficulties because of some words used in job descriptions. Though, she tried to understand the word in context and guess the meaning. I would suggest my peers to use this educational game because it promotes L2 learners language skills in terms of enhancing their vocabulary.
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.
A very good and engaging tool to use in the classroom and have a follow up discussion. Everybody loves spekaing about their wishes, this way they will watch a video, have some vocabulary on the topic and then express their wishes. I think this way the students will be very engaged in the discussion and improve both their listening and speaking skills. This will best work with adults or young adults, intermediate level. I haven't used it yet in my classes, but I will for sure:)
This is a fun game which will help students to learn about the history of the Olympic games and improve their sports vocabulary. They will also check their knowledge about the UK. My intermediate level students played and enjoyed it very much. They learnt new words and got information about the history of the Olympics.
This is a good game for practicing comparatives. Students will see the adjectives and write the comparatives. They will see their score at the end. I have tried this game with my intermediate level students. They liked it but they weren't able to type so quickly. When they tried it for the second time they got used to its speed.
We can use this game to teach, practice and/or test knowledge of synonyms and antonyms. My friend, who is a low intermediate EFL learner, has learnt several words while playing this game. So, not only kids, but also adults learn quickly with games.
