An interesting game for children aged from 6 to 8, to develop vocabulary. On the screen, there is 2 short list morphemes, that one should connect the dots in order to form compound words. Once all the words are done correctly, you may go to the next level.

This is just a sample listening quiz from eslvideo.com.The website has a variety of such videos for all levels with corresponding comprehension checking quizes.

This activity can be played either with teenagers or even kids. It is engaging and brings active interaction into the classroom. All the students are involved in the activity at the same time. It is also exciting for the teacher as he has to create questions during the activity aside from those prepared. Finally it is competition among the student which works perfect most of the times. Enjoy.

All levels and ages enjoy tongue twisters. They help the students to practice pronouncing difficult sounds in English. We have similar activities in Armenian. More tongue twisters here: http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/tongue-twisters

This is a useful and interesting game that can be used for low-intermediate to advanced level students. It is an interactive activity where students use all the categories they have learnt(like Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs, Plural Nouns, Countable Nouns, etc.)

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).

An activity that can be used for pre-intermediate and higher level students. It can be easily applied with all age groups to practice the daily vocabulary and overall speaking skills.

This game can work well especially with pre-intermediate and higher level students of all age groups. It can be used to review the previous vocabulary. The PDF is available at http://www.teach-this.com/images/games/ten-words.pdf

I used some of these activities during my internship and they were really helpful for practicing present perfect. And besides Ss got to know many things about their peers.

We liked all the activities especially " Job Interview".

This is a very good ice breaker, it can work with all levels. I think the students will appreciate the creativity of their teacher to use M&M's in order to get acquainted with her (the teacher) as well as with each other. I think this can also work with kids, only in that case the teacher would ask the SS to tell about themselves in their native language.

I used this video/audio file for teaching 15 children from AUA EEC classes to describe weather (i.e. it is rainy, it is cloudy, it is snowy, it is sunny and etc). This video/audio file helped me to teach children in an enjoyable way. This activity worked well and all the students learned the target material properly.

I used this video/audio file for teaching time to 15 AUA, EEC upper-elementary level children whose age ranged from 8 to 11. This video/audio file helped me to keep children's' attention focused on learning. At first, they were supposed to watched the video and then to tell the correct time. This activity worked well and all the students learned the target material properly, moreover, there wasn't a need to play the video file several times.

Another listening activity with a song. It's similar as the previuos one. Watch it and make ur own judgements. But be sure your kids will like by all means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This activity is good for teaching sports and hobbies. It helps students play with the words categorize them according indoor/outdoor activities. I tried this activity with my EEC students. They worked on it as a group and it was productive. There were several new words on the worksheet that we did not cover, I asked the students to guess whether they were indoor or outdoor activities and they succeeded. The students got motivated because I told them it is a competition, and it worked. As a result I got from all four groups right answers;-)

This link contains three downloadable podcasts. Each podcast include transcripts, worksheets with their answers, diverse vocabulary tasks and also web quests. All the exercises are based mainly in the podcasts' vocabulary and information.

Thank you Armine. I have used these podcasts with my student. She enjoyed them very much because she was able to listen to native speakers and also do some grammatical exercises we have passed. These podcasts are also good for practicing scanning and skimming. So those who want to develop these skills they can use these podcasts. Tully speaking, after these podcast my student has become more attentive to the details and has begun to pay much attention to the detail and gist of the information.

THANK you very much!!! I really made great use of these podcasts, I use them for my student, and we just enjoy them!

A game to practice food vocabulary (fruit, vegetables, drinks, meat, desserts...). Students should find foods indicated by chief's list on the side by click on them in a kitchen. I piloted this game with a 12 years-old neighbor of mine, who studies English at elementary level. He was pretty much engaged in the game. Though the food list at side is restricted, foods in the kitchen are not. This makes students to look around to find the food indicated rather than simply choose from a limited set of choices. As there are other food items as well, it also provides an opportunity to teach new food vocab. When the list is done for the 1st time, playing the game again allows to practice new items and a new list is provided. It's definitely more interactive than usual paper-based activities. In case of using it in a class, the teacher can also add some speaking tasks for group work.

I tried it and it works. Thanks, nice!!!!

Oh Addeh jan I liked the game which was about "preposition of place". reaaly it was very interesting and easy to remember the places of the objects playing this game.

This is a quite good activity to practice spelling and typing speed. Intermediate and advanced level of students may find it useful and fun. It may also develop word stock of the learner. It has tree level of difficulty; easy, medium and hard. I myself tried all of them and the hard level met my needs and abilities. Try it and improve your spelling and typing speed.

To be honest, this game does not depend on the level of the students :) It is more important to be observant and to be able to see what you look at. It asks to find words from letter-mixture. My sister and I tried this game and it was a real fun :D! Try that and if you can find all the words.
