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.

I have tried this game with an intermediate and upper intermediate level students and it worked quite well. The only difficulty may the result of culture differences. There may be some set phrases which do not exist in the S's native language, and unfamiliarity with this set phrase may cause come difficulties. However it is very useful and effective.

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.

You can create your own story by the help of the objects and some different settings. This kind of activity can be useful for improving creative writing skills of intermediate level students.

I like this activity very much, if I have opportunity I will definitely try this one, I think it'll motivate students and set a positive atmosphere in the classroom.

Slow Click With this game you can practice and review different sets of vocabulary items for learning English. You can choose to review vocab according to audio, short descriptions or titles.

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!!!!
