Great for learning concepts of "green" for kids. May need to pre-teach some of the vocabulary and concepts first

This is a really wonderful game which teaches not only English but also ways of saving the planet and environment. The students enjoy such games as they somehow solve existing problems of the world. I tried that myself and it was a lot of FUN!

We have tried this game with two adult learners. It is interesting if you want to teach vocab on green notion and recycling.

brainstorming activity, reading, reading comprehension checking, fill in the blank, writing, photography activity, grammar activity "if clause".

Susanna thank you very much for the link. I could use this in my own class and my student really like it. It contains exercises, reading, new vocabulary. Really thank you

there are a lot of exercises which enhance reading as well as accelerates writing. I gave this activity to my students and they did it with pleasure, especially those who have pets, particularly dogs in their families. Appropriate to be assigned as classwork and as homework.

This game may be used in elementary-intermediate levels. It gives the definition of the object and one should find and click on the object. I tried that with one of my pre-intermediate students, she liked it, but the only thing she suggested is that it should also have the names of the objects written. So, perhaps you could make flashcards from this game and make some additions to it.

This is a great game for pre-school children (2+) but it can be used with older children as well. you can use it for simple vocabulary review or to make sentences. The major point in this game is the candies which motivate learners at that age to continue the game and learn more vocabulary.

This is a good source for using a simple story to motivate pre-school and first beginning students to learn English. It's easy to choose pictures and creates a story even for a 5 year old kid. My 5 years old daughter got encouraged when recognized that she made it by herself. If it's being used often children would be able to recognize words as a whole; without having the ability of reading the individual letters.

Oh Armine jan it was a very interesting game. I played it twice. It really helps the students to promote their reading skills, as well as their creativity. And the most intersting part was the last part when I was reading the story about me. I liked it very much...:)

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.

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 is a wonderful activity for developing students' listening, reading (skimming and scanning), speaking skills, as well as increasing vocabulary. it contains variety of activities which are based on the listening. Moreover, all the activities can be done both online and on paper (all materials are printable including the transcript of the audio). It contains a pre-watching vocabulary activity the story a comprehension activity a language activity about idioms I used this material with my two intermediate students. Though the level was lower I have decided to try. In order to help them I wrote down the words/expression that they might be unknown and discussed them before listening. Then they listened to the audio but still had difficulties to understand completely what the audio was mainly about. In order to solve the misunderstanding I have decided to give the transcripts to read while listening (It helped much to understand). I used the third activity to check whether they could scan and skim the information (they could as I guess reading helped them very much). The last activity was a multiple choice activity where the students should look at the given idioms and choose the best meaning. Suggestion- If your students are not high intermediate/advanced the process will be slowed down. Just use transcript and after listening discuss the text. It will help.

Kids help Bear cook breakfast. Great activity to reinforce this target topic with intermediate or advanced young EFL/ESL learners

Nice game that teaches children to food vocabulary (pre-intermediate level).

Very interesting and interactive!
