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:)

An interactive quiz for studying English. It helps intermediate adult learners to practice verb be (past and present).

This is a vocabulary building game. Scattered parts of words are given and one needs to put them together in order to form the most words and gain points. The definition of the new words are given.

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.

A great online screaming video program featuring famous people reading books for children aloud. Videos also have subtitles. Besides, each book includes activities and lesson ideas to provide guidance for teachers. I have tried one story with an adult of elementary level.

The aim of this game is to practice linking words and use appropriate once in a given context. Children also practice reading and learn unknown words. I have tried this game with an adult having beginner level of proficiency and she enjoyed the game as well.

This fun activity gets students to get creative while practicing food vocabulary. It is perfect for elementary level students of all ages (especially adult learners).

Great for learning concepts of "green" for kids. May need to pre-teach some of the vocabulary and concepts first

This is a really wonderful game which teaches not only English but also ways of saving the planet and environment. The students enjoy such games as they somehow solve existing problems of the world. I tried that myself and it was a lot of FUN!

We have tried this game with two adult learners. It is interesting if you want to teach vocab on green notion and recycling.

I tried this video back in NY while teaching to ESL adult students. They were intermediate students, though with good english knowledge. I was supposed to teach idioms and this video helped me to first remove myself from being the center of attention and second to help students learn the idioms more easily, as the visualizations readily stick in their mind. The students very much liked the video and its humor refreshed the class atmosphere. However, I suggest to include some post-task exercises both written and spoken to reinforce them. There are other categories such as eye idioms as well which can be used to teach idioms in a fun way.
