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.

All the three activities are good for practising Past Continuous but most of all I liked "Alibi" . I do think, it's excellent for all level students but I would prefer to practise it with intermediate ones. Students will be able to improve their speaking skills via creating stories. Besides, the process can be very intriguing.

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?

This is a nice group speaking activity that will best suit pre-intermediate and intermediate students. It requires students to think creatively critically to justify their choices.

In this interesting writing/speaking activity students write and discuss how people must and mustn't behave in their imaginative perfect world. I think this will work best with pre-intermediate level.

We liked this activity very much, we will definitely use this right away.

I liked this one very much. If you want to change the rhythm of the class and engage you students in more active and language using activity, then this is what you need!! This can be worked with high beginner students.

I think this can work effectively. Great activity to practice the adjectives, describing smb. Astgik, Sima, Nelli

In this speaking activity students think about and discuss a city they would like to live in for a year. The activity is based on themes from the British Council OPENCities project.

I would use this game both with beginners and higher level students.In case of beginners I would do some variation. They could do miming, or tell the first letter,like it`s food and it starts with b. I think this is really a fun game and can be used fro practicing not only nouns but adjectives, verbs.

I would use this activity to revise the previous vocabulary and to make it fun. I think SS will like this activity because they are already familiar with a similar game called 'Cities' .

This is very engaging and fun game for pre-intermediate and intermediate level students. It also includes a bunch of words that can be used for teaching advanced students. I myself enjoyed playing it. There's also way to fasten the speed of falling letters that will be proper to apply with advanced students to increase intrigue and make students think quickly.

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.

Cute and funny; a lot of repetition, perhaps a little too much at times

nice!! I liked it!! the only problem i see is that though the purpose of the game is for low levels (teaching numbers) the speech is a little bit more difficult! However i think that it is a fine activity for native children to learn numbers :) :)THANKS A LOT!

Through this activity your intermediate learners will have a chance to practice modal verbs should/shouldn't. This activity requires the learners not only to choose the correct answer but also think of ways how to behave in certain situations and be creative!

This is a wonderful activity. In this activity you can enhance ur kids reading and thinking abilities. With the help of this audiovisual activity u can make ur child to be aware of the Bible. It is aslo colorful and has steps with very nice and meaningful sentences about the Bible. Why not teach ur kids nice expressions from the our Religion in the English language.

This activity is desined to enhance students vocabulary and way of thinking.

This game was a littlebit difficult for my 11 year old cousin. I think some proficiency in the language may be required to be able to handle the game.

A nice crossword puzzle to practice months of the year and ordinal numbers. If your students are crossword puzzle fans, this is the right activity for them:-) I actually searched for this activity for my own teaching purposes and tried this activity with the EEC students in 'communication 3' level. They really liked it and were really quick to do it. I guess it was a bit easy for them, however, I think that it was good that they actually could once more practice their spelling skills.

This is a nice game for elementary level students through which they can learn the names of animals! The best thing about this game is that it has four sections: 1-shows the animal and pronounces the name along wit providing the written variant 2- it checks spelling VS. pronunciation 3-it checks pronunciation VS. picture 4- it checks spelling VS. picture. I tried it with elementary level students (two) and it was quite effective!!!!

Thanks Gayane for this game. I tried this game with my cousin who is 5 years old and only knows 10 letters of the English alphabet. We played this game together and he pretty liked it. He only knew the name of some of the animals but he doesnt recognise the written form of letters. therfore, I skipped the writing parts. I perticularly liked the part which he should listen to the names and then point me the animal to put the name under it. By the way, I used this game just to entertain him not to teach him. It think this approach helped him to just enjoy it as a game not a lesson. Thanks again.

This is more like flashcards, but it is also directed with audio. It teaches the numbers. While counting the pictures (animals0 the name of the animal is given, and the sound it makes is heard. I think it is appropriate for kids (beginners).
