This is a very good activity to improve vocabulary. What is more interesting and even important about this site is that while you play, you can earn grains of rice for each correct answer that will be donated for charity, to help stop hunger in the world. You can also play with grammar here (free rice grammar).There are 60 levels for vocabulary and 5 levels for grammar. They increase by difficulty as you proceed. While trying this with my students, what was so exciting for them was that they learned by answerng correctly they are particpating in a humanitarian act and this greatly motivated them to answer the tests and learn new vocabulary. Though we did just the first 2 levels, the next session almost all of them said that they kept playing it to collect more rice and for this they had learned a large number of new vocabulary. They also said they are gonna play it again when finished both to collect more rice for hunger as well as review what they had learned.

interesting and motivating activity. Just like your Ss I had the feeling that I'm helping hungry people. I wish I could!

Actually Armineh jan u did if you collected 100 grains of rice. I've checked the legitimacy of the cite and it is run by UNICEF.

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 a classroom game where students answer questions to win billions.The questions involve grammar items. Students anwsering correctly to all question will earn billions.I tried this game with a group of learners it was very productive.They say it reinforces grammar knowledge.

The students see many objects and are given a list of names which they should match with their pictures. The names of the objects have more than one meaning. Students are then given sentences where they are going to use the words in other meanings. They can use either logic or dictionary to find different meanings for these names which will fit in the sentences. This activity will work effectively both in the classroom and outside the classroom. It can also be assigned for individual and group work. My students were really interested in the activity. They asked each other, worked collaboratively, also used dictionary and sometimes asked for my help. The output was productive as in the end students remembered all the words.

This activity teaches the name of some vegetables. Below the pictures are given the names of the vegetables and the students have to put the names in their corresponding places. All the pictures are colorless which gives the students the opportunity to color them. So, the teacher can either revise the colors or to introduce them to the students. I gave this activity to my own students and they did it with pleasure. They already knew the colors, so that was only revision for them.

This is a very good site for language learners and teachers. It includes video materials and relevant worksheets for each video material. Students can watch the films, and work with those worksheets. This site helps to improve all four skills which is very important in EFL\ESL settings.

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.

Might work well with kids learning to read in English. 

A number of games from Dr. Seuss's stories: Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Grinch and Christmas, etc. COuldn't bookmark them separately cause it's all one flash file. 

It's useful for word spelling for young learners.
