Bag of Tricks

The game will be quite useful for those who want to teach or learn opposites. It is a kind of cartoon and the kids will really enjoy it.

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 game is very appropriate for teaching the fruit-names in beginner or elementary levels. It is a kind of match game. The player also hears the sounds, and the way the words are pronounced. I myself tried it, though it was easy for me, I enjoyed the game. TRY THAT!

To be honest, this game does not depend on the level of the students :) It is more important to be observant and to be able to see what you look at. It asks to find words from letter-mixture. My sister and I tried this game and it was a real fun :D! Try that and if you can find all the words.

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).

Want to learn the names of birds? This game is just for you. I tried it with an low-intermediate level student and it was a success. It has several phases. Firstly, it gives introduction to the game (teaching the names), then the game starts with its three variants. I highly recommend you to visit this site and to make use of this game for your teaching purposes.

This site is a wonderful source for those teachers who need flashcards about food. Besides the animations it also has the pronunciation of the names. Besides, if there is not a chance to make use of this flashcards online, a link is provided for printable flashcards. MAKE USE OF IT!!!

Using this site, you can Improve your students compositions dramatically, teaching them how to plan their ideas first. This programme will help them create and print a map with the ideas they need. I tried this with a couple of my private students who are studying for iBT TOFEL examination. They stated that using this map they could write a sentence or a paragraph for every idea and this way they had a coherent essay, well organized and much better than the usual messy stuff they would produce formerly.

Adeh this is a very nice way to involve students in essay writing. I tried it myself and I found it very useful. I am going to use this with my own students. It is a real sample for academic essay writing and also we can print our writing. Thank you for this format.

Hi Nune. Thx for the comment. Honestly, Likewise I liked it very much. I believe even our classmates can use this to produce decent writings. :)

Your learners can learn the vocabulary on body parts easily as they can see and hear the target word simultaneously.

I tried it with an ESL Learner. Then when I asked his opinion on it he said that he did it with a great pleasure and it helped him to learn the target vocabulary in a very effective way.

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 is a nice game, where ur kid is supposed to match the given words with the pics of clothes. I tried it on my sister and saw that she liked the game, as it was colorful.

A game that will require from ur students to be qkick minded. This game will enhance their raeding skills and vocabulary. Have a look at it and enjoy.

I Piloted this game with my 10 year old student. this seemed to be a bit easier activity for her but it was at the same time very motivating and helped her to revise the learned material.

Thanks my sister enjoyed it greatly......

I piloted this activity in my EFL class. My 12 and 13 year old students just loved it. Once I started bringing these kind of crosswords to the class my students keep asking me for more activities of the same type. enjoy:-)

Here is a matching (pictures with words) game which will help your students practice vocabulary. I actually tried it myself and it is a lot of fun.

This is a really nice set of flashcards which helps teach 'facial expressions' vocabulary. In order to avoid yourself using L1 in your language classroom use this!

This is the handout of fruits presented just after this post. It contains the picture of fruits presented in the flashcard. Under each picture the name of the fruit is written. Kids can also read and learn the names of the fruits.

This flashcards are useful for teaching. I myself (including my peers) had some difficulties in finding them during our practicum and fortunately I could find the link and I am happy to share it with you.

I used this material when I was teaching in a college. I would like to say that kids adored it. They colored the parts of apple, cut, and make an apple. Through this activity children were having fun and at the same time learned the letter with great ease. Try it and enjoy!
