Bag of Tricks

the third point on this site give an example of an activity which an be played with intermediate level students. This is good activity to make students to express ideas in limited time.

Wow amazing warm up activity! if you don't have time to make beautiful name pads, then this activity is just what you need. This will help your students and you to learn each others names and at the same time to enrich with new vocabulary. Another alternative to this, is writing down names of fruits and vegetables on the board beforehand, in order to help your learner to feel comfortable while participating in this game/activity.

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

This is an amazing interactive in-class activity, which aims at practicing Past forms. This could be work best with pre to high intermediate level students. (We can even play this game in our class, will be very interesting, just for fun)

This is an engaging writing activity in which students create an amusing group story! It could work with elementary and pre-intermediate level students.

A fun game for high elementary and intermediate level students. It has three levels (easy, medium and hard). The game can be used introduce or reinforce the vocabulary on football or sports in general. This can be interesting especially for football fans.

This is a fun game for beginners (especially for kids) to practice correct word order or reinforce the knowledge of present simple. The PDF of the game is also available

Ask the first student a question (usually very easy) and if they get it right then move on to the second student in the group and ask if they would like to continue or 'bank' the $500, the questions I use slowly get harder but in general they are relatively easy (it's more fun that way, plus they're 50/50 so they always have a chance).
