An interesting game for children aged from 6 to 8, to develop vocabulary. On the screen, there is 2 short list morphemes, that one should connect the dots in order to form compound words. Once all the words are done correctly, you may go to the next level.

Students practice finding the stressed syllable in a word via a game. There are similar games (also for vocab.) in the other section of the website.

Describer In this game you practice reading for understanding of a description. There are a set of different vocabulary items and you have to read short description and then click on the image that is being described. Hopefully in this you can practice reading and understand in more of a context.

Power up WordGirl and Huggy Face as they solve crimes with the perfect word to save the day. I liked this game although the voice that gives directions throughout the game is not a very pleasant one. It has interesting words and every time there is new context to practice them.

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.

I used this video/audio flash cards to teach my neighbors' 13 years old son and his 2 classmates the Present Simple tense. Although, the students have learned present simple at school they didn't internalize it properly. They were mixing present simple with present continuous. Hence, I used these video/audio flash cards to help them. First, I explained the way how and where to use present simple and present continuous and then I played the video/audio file to let the students practice and internalize the material properly. Overall, I want to say that I found this material to be very helpful for both students and teachers especially when there is a confusion between present simple and present continuous tenses.

I used this video/audio file for teaching time to 15 AUA, EEC upper-elementary level children whose age ranged from 8 to 11. This video/audio file helped me to keep children's' attention focused on learning. At first, they were supposed to watched the video and then to tell the correct time. This activity worked well and all the students learned the target material properly, moreover, there wasn't a need to play the video file several times.

These exercises are good for developing students' listening, reading, and writing skills. In addition to these skills, it also develops students' vocabulary. While listening and watching the songs or a video poem, the students will have opportunity to write down the missing words in a given space and later on check the answers. I used this type of exercises with my students and to tell the truth they liked them very much. This type of exercises can be used at the end of the lesson or in the middle of it, when teacher notice some boredom during the lesson. They play as a good refresh. After listening the song, the teacher may discuss it with students (as I did) or even translate. There are also some words at the end of each song and students may learn them as well.

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;-)

With the help of this link you can at the same time listen, read and see the story.It is very useful especially for visual learners.

Awesome link! I have just looked it through and tried to play some stories, and also found a lot of interesting stuff there. I will definitely use this link with my student.

This is a good reading and speaking task which includes scientific issues in a simplified language. The topic is attractive for teenagers and there are enough discussion issues to use as a reading and speaking exercise in the class situation.

I would like to share my practice with you. While doing this activity with my neighbor's son who is 9 years old boy, he did the very first part enthusiastically and continued the activity up to the end with the same stage. What i liked in this activity is that if a learner's listening comprehension is not so well developed,there are some sub-sentences provided below by which they can understand the story.

These flashcards can be used for teaching children animals

These are flashcards of animals. They are colorful and funny. I'm completely sure kids will like them

When I was doing my practicum in EEC I really had problems in finding good flashcards. The problems was that in order to find a picture of a particular animal, I had to type the animal's name (eg.lion, cat) and then choose on of them, then change the size (make it bigger or smaller) and this process took me a long time. When I found this site I was very happy because they are very funny and colorful and there are approximately 10-15 animal picture that I can print immediately without searching them long or changing the size.

This handout contains the right names of the animals in flashcards presented in the following bookmark.

I found this handout useful because the flashcards that I have posted right below this handout will be helpful for identifying the animals' names. Moreover, kids can not only look at the flashcards but also read the spelling of each word. Besides, there will also be some animals that will be unknown even for the teacher (it happened to me very often) and for not wasting the time to look up in the dictionary, teachers can use this handout in case of necessity.

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.

Another listening activity is TO FIND THE PET THAT FITS. Thus, the pupil is supposed to listen to the activity carefully and then click on the right animal. I tried again on my little sister but she got a bit disappointed because there were words not familar to here and she lost scors because of that. But I am sure this was a nice chance to learn new words about animals. When she finished she said: " I had never seen such a fat dog in my life". But in this case she did not say DOG in Armenian but in English.

A very nice listening activity. Good opportunity to teach your students in preschool vocabulary concerning picnic, toys, fruit and etc. By the way this gane was awarded as a good game for kids. Can enhance the students pronounciaion, listeting and even speaking skills. However, after watching this video my sister wanted immidiantly to go for a picnic and meet the nice and funny animated ant there. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

I have tried this game and I find it quite interesting. However, there may be some difficulties for lower level students. It is for advanced level students.

This is a fine activity for different level students. there is choice among the levels appropriate to each category. I tried this with upper level, and it was a success. The game is both interesting and effective in the sense of language learning.
