This is an online game you can use if you use technologies in the class. Otherwise, you might print them out and provide handouts to your students. This game can be played in pairs or individually. Or you may want to divide your students into two groups. Provide with two boards or flipcharts and have two groups work separately within a certain time limitation to complete the assignment. The group that finishes first wins and gets a price, star, etc.

Students should mach the pictures to the correct food groups.

This game is for beginner level students and checks vocabulary. The player has to choose the word that does not belong to the group. I have tried this game with my relative and he learnt a lot of words.

This is an engaging writing activity in which students create an amusing group story! It could work with elementary and pre-intermediate level students.

This is a nice group speaking activity that will best suit pre-intermediate and intermediate students. It requires students to think creatively critically to justify their choices.

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.

They are flash cards for speaking activities. It can be used with a group or as pair work. The student is to describe what they see in the pictures in the flash card to the rest of the group until they can guess what is in the flash card. It is very engaging and the students will practise speaking with fun and excitement.

The flashcards don't seem to be free though.

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;-)

The activity consists of flashcards. Below the pictures there are some words. The teacher can cut the pictures and the words and ask the students to find the corresponding pictures and words. Teachers can assign it as a group or an individual work. This activity is more suitable for class work. I gave this activity to my daughter and she was interested in it. She asked me to give her more activities like that. So, I decided to give such activities to my beginner group students.

This is the exact type of activity for speaking I found for my C4A groups. The topic is animals and it gets the students to read a dialogue and then speak. In my case this activity was a success! For beginners this is a very good and effective task.

I tried this activity with my C4A group. The topic was wild animals and this activity was excellent in terms of improving spelling and reinforcing the vocabulary on animals, You can also try this out!

I have tried this activity with my EEC (COM 7) class too. My students really enjoyed this activity, as it is a good revision activity and helps to foster a lively group atmosphere.

This webpage gives some interesting activities for practicing Present Perfect. Some of them I have used some are new. Give it a try. These activities can be done by students in pairs. Students may ask follow up questions such as when, who, with, which will lead them from Present Perfect to Past Simple.

Ask the first student a question (usually very easy) and if they get it right then move on to the second student in the group and ask if they would like to continue or 'bank' the $500, the questions I use slowly get harder but in general they are relatively easy (it's more fun that way, plus they're 50/50 so they always have a chance).

Please scroll down the webpage to see the activitity Who shall survive? This communicative activity requres students to make decisions, use the language to persuade the others.

We found a number of good activities that we can use in our class, for example, pictionary or bingo, word association, etc.

Students practice asking follow up questions while discussing a topic in their group.

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.
