Bag of Tricks

This game is for students of advance level. It promotes the students' vocabulary skills.

The activity is to develop vocabulary in certain limited topics. This could be applied for from intermediate level, since the words in charts do not usually met often. I would add that the student knew some names of flowers and anilmas, but the rest of the words were difficult and unknown to him.

Engaging for elementary level learners: matching games on different topics like clothes, family members, animals, kitchen items, body parts, etc. Again, I piloted the actiivty with my neighbour Hayk who is 9 years old. what the kid liked more was the fact he should grasp th epcture uqickly and ut it under the right word. Then he failed becaus eof influency with working with the computer, however we did it for some days and he practiced and improved hand movement. Time limit factor was also motivating since he was trying hard to win the game.

Karaoke: easy listening story for elementary level students; the story or the 'song' with the words of the same story is played after which students sing the 'song' repeating the reader, in the end they try to sing alone with words provided like karaoke. I piloted the activity with my 9 year-old neighbour. The kid was really engaged in that the kid was simply listening to the song and enjoying it. I suggest playing the same song over sevearal days so that learner would automatically sing with the song.

This link contains three downloadable podcasts. Each podcast include transcripts, worksheets with their answers, diverse vocabulary tasks and also web quests. All the exercises are based mainly in the podcasts' vocabulary and information.

Thank you Armine. I have used these podcasts with my student. She enjoyed them very much because she was able to listen to native speakers and also do some grammatical exercises we have passed. These podcasts are also good for practicing scanning and skimming. So those who want to develop these skills they can use these podcasts. Tully speaking, after these podcast my student has become more attentive to the details and has begun to pay much attention to the detail and gist of the information.

THANK you very much!!! I really made great use of these podcasts, I use them for my student, and we just enjoy 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.

This game gives the student the opportunity to activate his/her vocabulary. It provides the student with eight letters and the student has to make up as many words with these letters as possible. Good game for individual and group work. My students liked it but they said that they had better play this game at home. They confessed that this game if played regularly activates passive vocabulary.

The students see many objects and are given a list of names which they should match with their pictures. The names of the objects have more than one meaning. Students are then given sentences where they are going to use the words in other meanings. They can use either logic or dictionary to find different meanings for these names which will fit in the sentences. This activity will work effectively both in the classroom and outside the classroom. It can also be assigned for individual and group work. My students were really interested in the activity. They asked each other, worked collaboratively, also used dictionary and sometimes asked for my help. The output was productive as in the end students remembered all the words.

The activity consists of flashcards. Below the pictures there are some words. The teacher can cut the pictures and the words and ask the students to find the corresponding pictures and words. Teachers can assign it as a group or an individual work. This activity is more suitable for class work. I gave this activity to my daughter and she was interested in it. She asked me to give her more activities like that. So, I decided to give such activities to my beginner group students.

The PDF file includes a great range of various exercises. This activity is very useful as students learn to read and write while they are listening. Students need to read through the questions in the exercises in the practice materials before listening to the podcast. While they're scanning the text they will get an idea about what they are going to listen to. They have to read the instructions of each exercise carefully, as sometimes they must listen for the 'right' answers. But in some of these questions, they must choose the one answer that is not possible or wrong. These exercises are also appropriate for those who intend to take IELTS or iBT exams later. My students did this activity; they liked it and didn't get bored (the variety of the exercises made them busy and concentrated). I gave them some other podcasts with their support packs and saw their gradual improvement.

This activity teaches the name of some vegetables. Below the pictures are given the names of the vegetables and the students have to put the names in their corresponding places. All the pictures are colorless which gives the students the opportunity to color them. So, the teacher can either revise the colors or to introduce them to the students. I gave this activity to my own students and they did it with pleasure. They already knew the colors, so that was only revision for them.
