In general I have found the BBC Words In the News site to be very good. Here is a video exercise I found. It's probably best for int. to upper int. students. The Video includes and a PDF of the script can be downloaded separately if you wish. and there is an exercise included to reinforce the new grammar.

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.

Try the New "Make a Face" Song Along with the increase in International Understanding Education in Japan, there is also a strong desire to preserve traditional Japanese activities. It's for this reason that in the New Year you'll probably find Japanese schools teaching lots of traditional games.

If you want to have fun and learn face parts in English, this game could be helpful. This game is better for kids, and beginner levels.

This is a great activity designed for children to listen to a story about firefighters and then do an interactive activity by learning new vocabulary connected with clothes. I have tried this activity with children who really enjoyed it and learnt new words connected wit clothes. Besides, they have learnt a song about firefighters.

This activity is designed for beginners and it helps to practice and memorize antonyms. The game has different levels so there is a good opportunity for students to learn new words and their antonyms. I have tried it with 2 children and they enjoyed it and learnt many new words.

If you read and listen to one article every day, your reading and listening skills can be better fast. You will learn very fast and after some time you will not have to translate into your own language. You will simply understand. Why?

This is a very good source for making the workisheets of your need. The only thing that you should do is to choose a theme and a new random list. I used this source with my Prep 2A kids for teaching them numbers and animals, and the worksheets were very useful as the kids liked them very much.

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.

Listen and drag things that belong in a zoo. 

This activity is ideal when learning new words referring to a specific topic. I assume that children learn words better when they see them visually. It helps them remember them. Whenever I give such an activity to my students they respond to it enthusiastically: they revise their vocabulary, associate the words with the topic, learn new words. For beginners this activity will be ideal.

A very interactive game for kids. The players should enter their names to be praised for their good jobs. I tried it with my six-year-old son. It was useful to revise colours, study some new words, listen to their exact description and put them into the correct order.

Includes reading, listening, and vocabulary with an interesting topic that could be pulled integrated into a lesson rather easily.

This is a vocabulary building game. Scattered parts of words are given and one needs to put them together in order to form the most words and gain points. The definition of the new words are given.

This is a fun game which will help students to learn about the history of the Olympic games and improve their sports vocabulary. They will also check their knowledge about the UK. My intermediate level students played and enjoyed it very much. They learnt new words and got information about the history of the Olympics.

This game may interest mainly kids. I think they will have fun playing and learning new words. I am sure the visuals can help them a lot.

This is a good game to learn different words and revise them. My EFL learners enjoyed the game and leaned many new words at the same time.

read this joke and learn some new English vocabulary in context.

This activity is very useful for learning new words by looking at images and practicing pronunciation. One can read the word, listen to it and then repeat as many times as he/she wants. The words refer to different spheres.

Kids can listen to and read a story in funny settings (and also through listening to songs). The story is about how Boowa helps his new friend Kwala find her family.This trick can be used for teaching kids travelling by developing their reading and listening skills. The story consists of 13 chapters, so it's better to teach them during a couple of classes.

If one has difficulties in teaching feelings it is a good way to practice them. Via shooting activity kids listen to the word and shot the correct picture.

Another useful game that enriches vocabulary for ESL students, who already have some knowledge of English. This game is especially good in experiencing different situations, learning new words that are proper for that context. I think, it's also fun!

This game is helpful for teaching synonyms to kids. I tried the medium mode of this game with my neighbor and he liked it. He learned many new words from this game. Alternatively, it allows to see how the given words are pronounced and spelled. There is a worksheet which can be printed out to use in case there are no computers connected to the internnet at your disposal.
