An interactive game to practice daily actions.

This video quiz about the film "Avatar" will help you to practise your English listening skills and build your vocabulary. You can use these kinds of activities to prepare your students for PBT or IELTS exams. I tried with some advanced students and they liked it.

This is a great site for intermediate's first grades to improve their reading and in some cases listening skills didn't include the beginning level in the tags since my subject (beginning level student) had difficulties in comprehension. However this site is quite useful for more advanced students.

This colorful and interesting site is a suitable place for kids of pre-school and also bigger kids to implement their creativity in making stories. Games of this site are focused on words. Relevant pictures along with their pronunciation are served in an easy and fun way which enhances the learning process. I tried this site with my 5 years old daughter and she asked me to play its games over and over. Also she made a story (by my little manipulation) and she felt the joy of being a creative story maker.

The music option of this site is really interesting for my 5 years old daughter although she can't understand many dialogs. Suitable interaction between software and kids make them motivated and enable the kids to keep learning in an imaginary fun world. It's one of the most user friendly software I have ever used for kids. Listen to a story is another option which can be used for elementary level students to enhance their listening skill.

This is a nice game for elementary level students through which they can learn the names of animals! The best thing about this game is that it has four sections: 1-shows the animal and pronounces the name along wit providing the written variant 2- it checks spelling VS. pronunciation 3-it checks pronunciation VS. picture 4- it checks spelling VS. picture. I tried it with elementary level students (two) and it was quite effective!!!!

Thanks Gayane for this game. I tried this game with my cousin who is 5 years old and only knows 10 letters of the English alphabet. We played this game together and he pretty liked it. He only knew the name of some of the animals but he doesnt recognise the written form of letters. therfore, I skipped the writing parts. I perticularly liked the part which he should listen to the names and then point me the animal to put the name under it. By the way, I used this game just to entertain him not to teach him. It think this approach helped him to just enjoy it as a game not a lesson. Thanks again.

Want to learn the names of birds? This game is just for you. I tried it with an low-intermediate level student and it was a success. It has several phases. Firstly, it gives introduction to the game (teaching the names), then the game starts with its three variants. I highly recommend you to visit this site and to make use of this game for your teaching purposes.

This site is a wonderful source for those teachers who need flashcards about food. Besides the animations it also has the pronunciation of the names. Besides, if there is not a chance to make use of this flashcards online, a link is provided for printable flashcards. MAKE USE OF IT!!!

This link leads you to a game which teaches the correct forms of auxiliary verbs in the English language. It is appropriate for three level students. As you choose the BALL you choose the difficulty level. I tried it with my cousin (intermediate level) and it worked. TAKE CARE TO READ THE INSTRUCTION OF EACH ITEM BEFORE SHOOTING!!!

Nice shoot! I liked it and gonna use in my class.

Text Terminator destroys texts, you have to reconstruct them. You'll see the text dotted, click on the first dot to listen to the text and then type the words to reconstruct it. Good activity for listening skill. I found this very useful to practice listening and develop vocabulary. I tried this with a friend of mine (Upper in level). He said that he liked the practice very much and at times challenging. I believe that this is more appropriate for upper/advanced students. You can find more sample text at: http://www.multimedia-english.com/contenido/ficha/text-terminator/1259

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.

This cartoon can be used to practice the four skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening. Suggestion on how to use: Before students listen/read the story, they are pre-taught some new vocabulary used in the story. Then students can play the story in pictures while they're listening to it. They can click on the button "READ" to turn off and on the text. It's better if the first time, they listen to the story with the text on (reading while listening). Then, they will listen to the story with the text off and see if they can still understand. (listening) When they feel confident, they can watch the story again with the text off and try to tell the story along with the pictures, without reading (speaking). You can also ask them to write this tale down as a composition (about 250 words or more if you want to). Vocabulary can also be boosted through story. Students can also come up with their own ideas by discussing where they would go if they had a magic carpet. I tried this with my young advance elementary students and it was pretty successful. we had also a very engaging discussion in which students said they would have gone if they have had a magic carpet. They also very much liked the cartoon itself.

This site is a collection of games, songs and ideas for use by teachers of languages to children. This site gives you the techniques and confidence to teach any language and get your kids finishing a lesson with a big smile saying "Yeah, that was fun! I want to do more!". there are also video materials that may help or give some ideas to teachers how to make the lesson funny and interesting:)

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.

This is a listening vocabulary exercise - You need to turn on your speakers or put on your headphones.Click the top and match with the bottom. Wait till you hear the audio before you click next match. I tried this game with my student . She says it helped her much in vocabulary learning.

The site provides online books. Students have the opportunity to listen, read, work on the printable worksheets on the related topic, and finally take a quiz. This site may be helpful to develop students' listening, reading and writing skills.

This site provides free materials for kids. There are printable worksheets with their answer sheets for different levels in different topics. There are also games, study tools, quizzes, tutorials, checking spelling sheets and online activites, etc. Moreover, it provides with EBooks for different levels from the beginner to the advanced. The site has also a book store where popular and well designed books for different levels are recomended.

The PDF file includes a great range of various exercises. This activity is very useful as students learn to read and write while they are listening. Students need to read through the questions in the exercises in the practice materials before listening to the podcast. While they're scanning the text they will get an idea about what they are going to listen to. They have to read the instructions of each exercise carefully, as sometimes they must listen for the 'right' answers. But in some of these questions, they must choose the one answer that is not possible or wrong. These exercises are also appropriate for those who intend to take IELTS or iBT exams later. My students did this activity; they liked it and didn't get bored (the variety of the exercises made them busy and concentrated). I gave them some other podcasts with their support packs and saw their gradual improvement.
