the activity is pretty challenging. It fits intermediate and higher level students. One can choose the topic, there is a range of it, then go on guessing a word. usually there are 7 guess chances which did motivated the stduent. He really enjoyed the activity, however I think students will enjoy even more if they have already some knowledge of the topic, then it gets really interesting.

Hangman is an excitement game, plus it is very fruitful for the vocabulary enhancement. The level of the game is high intermediate. Player is supposed to guess the word by clicking on the letters. For some help the player has definition button and the button with the hint. Player has 6 tries to guess the word. I find the game very fascinating and useful.

This is a very good game for developing kids' spelling. It helps them write the name of the animal guessed, The game also gives a chace to have reading as they have to read the hints in order to be able to write the answers.

I have played this game with a 5-year-old girl who is currently learning english words in the kindergarden. Some words were unfamiliar to her but generally she copes with it very well.

This game is designed for high intermediate EFL student. Through this game, EFL learners can revise their knowledge of job descriptions. This game can be played by one player or two players. Accordingly, it will also promote collaboration between learners. An EFL intermediate learner had a chance to choose one of the provided choices and decide whether it corresponds to the job description provided in the game or not and accordingly, to gain particular score or not. I tried it with my brother's wife (24 year-old) and she in some cases guessed the write answer. She had some difficulties because of some words used in job descriptions. Though, she tried to understand the word in context and guess the meaning. I would suggest my peers to use this educational game because it promotes L2 learners language skills in terms of enhancing their vocabulary.

This game is designed for low intermediate EFL learners. The game is very interesting one, becuase the player is motivated to guess the hidden animal until it appears in full picture (there are three choices for each hidden animal and when the player chooses one of them, the computer either makes green or red line in the word and also pronounces that word). So, this game can also help learners gain right pronunciation skills. I used this game with my neighbour (11-year-old boy) and he was interested in guessing the pictures and tried to pronounce the word after the computer prounced them. I would suggest ESL teachers to use it because it enhanced my neighbour's vocabulary and improves his pronunciation. skills.

This activity is good for developing students' comprehension. How they would analyze the sentence which is given with the missing word. In this game students are provided with some help in the case of if they are not able to guess the answer. It helps students play with the words, match them with the given blank boxes and then fulfill them. I tried this activity with my 2 EEC students. They worked on it as a group and it was productive. The students got motivated because they were trying to guess the missed word the first.

This is a very popular fairy tale translated in many languages of the world. So the children will be familiar with the plot and even if they don't know some words they can guess the meaning. Here they have listening with script, which will help them to develop their listening and reading skills. I played this fairy tale for my little son . He watched it with pleasure and said that the ending is different from other red hat fairy tales.

Picture Word Game - A reverse hangman game, in which you uncover pieces of a hidden picture with every letter you guess. Another challenging game that keeps your brain massaging and tempting:)))

When I found it I said wow.....It's fun even for me. You play basketball and learn common nouns, proper nouns and not nouns.... Have fun with this game ::)) I piloted it with a 10-year old boy he really liked it. Then after a week I gave him vocabulary matching activity based on the words learned in this game and guess what he remembered 90% of words... Isn't that fantastic.!!!

It is very a interesting and engaging game and a bit challending to play. It's a perfect game to learn spelling and to guess the words having only discriptions/definitions of them in a given time limit.

20 Questions One person thinks of an object (person, place, or thing). Everyone takes turns asking yes/no questions until someone can guess correctly (or until 20 questions are asked). The difficult part is that you cannot ask "wh" questions! Example: PINEAPPLE. Does it talk? No. Does it make life easier?

Students use a set of personality traits (from cards and a handout) to describe people. They exchange stories and try to guess their partner's personality trait.

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 is an interactive game which will reinforce the learner's vocabulary knowledge and enhance their communication skills.

looks like a very effective activity, I wonder however how much time would you need for this activity ? I think I should give it a try to find that out :-) Thanks for sharing Mariam jan.

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 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 is a really fun activity & game. It is really interesting even for the advanced level students. You have to be quick and know the words related to clothing. I found this activity by following the link shared by Addeh. Just wanted to share it with everyone else:-) Try it!

vay Karine jan really it was a very interesting game. I played this game many times and finally won. Of course it promotes the students' vocabulary and reading skills. I liked this game very much.

That's good that you have tried. I have tried this activity myself and I even learned a few words such as 'undershirt' if not this activity I guess I wouldn't know that word:-0 Anushik jan, I couldn't really win, so CONGRATULATIONS!!!

A set of games to practice prepositions of time and place. To be tested.

Addeh I tried it but it demands my mail address and password, should it be like that???

Really, intersting, I guess I'll take and practice with my students. Thanks!!!!!

This is a nice LISTENING activity with audio video materials. U can have ur child watch this. After watching perhaps ur child decides to become an interviewer or a weatherforcast man as my sister did. While watching the previous activities she (my sister) decided to become a cook and then she changed her mind and decided to become a weatherforcast woman. The activity is created by the British Coucil. This is a good opportunity to teach your child the names of the countries, continents and flags and quite a lot of adjectives, of course, everything in the target language. Ok, I guess I stop here, as I feel myself like an advertiser. Watch and test it and make ur own judgments. HAVE FUN KIDS.
