This is a grammar activity used for pre-intemediate level students of all age groups. The purpose is to practice comparative adjectives. I love the activities that require standing, moving around the room and interviewing peers.

Really engaging fun activity, it works all the time. Appropriate for all levels.

All the three activities are good for practising Past Continuous but most of all I liked "Alibi" . I do think, it's excellent for all level students but I would prefer to practise it with intermediate ones. Students will be able to improve their speaking skills via creating stories. Besides, the process can be very intriguing.

This is a wonderful site and everybody can find audio and video materials on their level. All the materials develop listening, speaking, reading skills (skimming, scanning, true/false, etc), increase students' vocabulary. Almost all of them contain pdf files with activities and transcripts which also can be done online. All the materials provide examples (both online and on pdf file). I used some of them in my classes. I would like to talk about the video that explains the differences between the words of American English and British English. It was a wonderful video that could explain the different use of pants/trousers and other words also. In addition to video there are also exercises which also reinforces the vocabulary and provide with additional activities that develop students' different skills.

Very effective way to teach the objects in the living room. It's easy for kids to learn words when they see and listen to their pronunciation. It's also good for teaching spelling.

Hasmik I found this game very engaging and useful because it provides with good vocabulary,correct pronunciation and also with visuals,which is great!:))

Saten I tried it with different age students and in all cases it worked well. It's really great!

An advanced level activity, which teaches set expressions on the above mentioned topic. Teaching is content based: guessing the meanings from the video stuff, then reinforcing them with the help of multiple choice activity. I tried it with my sister, and the result was pretty good. After watching the video, she wrote a composition using all the set expressions in the video. She used all of them correctly.

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 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!

These materials are from BBC Learning English site. All of them are downloadable and each audio & video material have its pdf file (with transcript and vocabulary). These audios/videos are good for developing students' listening and reading skills, increasing students' vocabulary, and also speaking skills. It depends on the purpose of using this material. For example I used the first one (I haven't used the others yet) "Are men the weaker sex" with my intermediate students. While listening they underlined all the unknown words they had come up with, then we discussed the words together (I explained them in a target language). After, the discussion, I asked them not to look at the transcript and listened to the audio again. At the end of the audio they told me what the audio was about and in this way I could make them speak.

This is the famous "snakes and ladders" game that could be played alone or with 2 players. When one answers correctly, they get to roll the dice. This game is best for 7 to 9 year olds. At the end of the game, one can check all the correct answers.

This engaging game helps to build vocabulary and practice spelling. I explained the instructions to my friend's 6 and 8 year old kids and they played and liked this game. They asked me to play again and again, and after some times they managed to complete all missing letters of the given words correctly. So, this game can be used with benefits for EFL kids.

This is a good game to teach alphabet. When I used it with several children all of them played this game with big interest. After the game most of them were recognizing many letters.

This is a very useful game which can be interesting for all EFL learners especially for kids and teenagers. I have tried it myself and found it very engaging.

For ESL learners this is the best way to learn specific vocabulary concerning business.Moreover, for ESP courses this link can also be very useful for teachers and learners,because it provides with comprehensive vocabulary for business and teaches all the words in context.

I have tried this myself in order to see whether it's effective or no! No I am sure that I want to try it with my students. It raises Ss creativity and is fun. This can serve as a good activity with all levels.

I really liked this activity. It is very creative.

Thanks !

This is a great place to learn / revise the vocabulary related to jobs and the difference between the present simple and the present continuous with the help of an interactive book. I have tried this with 2 intermediate level students and it was highly effective.It enhances all 4 skills.

Storytelling a such an activity that nearly all kids like. I am thinking of giving this activity to my EEC students. Although this activity will be i+1 for them and maybe too challenging. Anyway, this is a good activity and can be effective for improving both reading and listening comprehension.

I was very glad to find this website and this particular activity. Once you become a member you can download all activities. This activity revises family words and their spelling.

This game helps to teach the vocabulary necessary to describe people by appearance. Learners could practice adjectives (colors, size, etc.) through this game. I tried it with my brother and it appeared to be useful.

It's an interesting game.The player must match the faces according to description they listen. I piloted this game with my students and they all liked it. it was very useful.

A very effective way to teach and learn verbs. The animation and audio make it easy for learners to see the action, hear the verb and read it simultaneously. My friend's son liked this game and played almost five time in order to remember all the verbs and play the game to check the answers.
