The one just below is for my elementary students to learn about food
Yes, yes… here I am again, struggling to find ways to teach my demotivated students from E.S.O. That’s why I’m constantly surfing the net looking for different ways to teach the same things over and over again.
This game can be used to revise vocabulary from the lesson and at the same time practise spelling. It goes like this:
♥ Divide the class in two teams, A and B and ask them to invent a name for their team.
♥Then, divide the backboard into two halves and mark each side of the board for each team.
♥ On each side of the blackboard draw either:
• a river with stepping stones for students to get across the river. The winner is the team that crosses the river first. For every correct word they write, mark a stepping stone.
• a ladder. The winner is the team that climbs the ladder first. For every correct word they write, mark a step on the ladder.
• a mountain with climbing points for the teams to climb and put their country’s flag up on the top. The winner is the team that climbs the mountain and puts their country’s flag up first. For every correct word they write, mark a climbing point.
• a daisy. The winner is the team whose daisy is wiped out first. For every correct word they write, wipe out a petal and after all the petals have been wiped out, then wipe out the leaves and the stem until the whole daisy has gone.
♥Call a member from each team up on the board and dictate a word from their vocabulary to them. The students write the word they hear on their side of the board making sure at the same time that the student from the opposite team cannot see what the other student is writing. So cheating is eliminated.
This has proven a very nice and exciting way to check spelling, listening comprehension and pronunciation in a fun way.
Many thanks to Barbara Koziori for this idea
There are also lots of sites on the web to practise spelling with the typical hangman game so if you have a little time to spare ,why don’t you try some of these?
http://www.hangman.no/ divided into categories ( Harry Potter,Countries of the World , Musical Instruments..etc
http://www.playhangmanonline.com/ also divided into categories , namely, music, sports , geography …etc
http://www.englishbanana.com/hangmanhome.html and that’s the place you want to go if you want to play the game with colours, everyday adjectives or household things.
If you are feeling creative or just need a specific category to work with (as is my case) , you might want to create your own hangman. To do this try this site http://www.what2learn.com/. It’s good fun!
I have found this site only today http://www.what2learn.com/ and I can’t wait to share it with you. It has lots of interactive 
exercises although most of the published games won’t be of any use to you as they deal with Maths, History and some other subjects.
But it has some games devoted to spelling and this is where you can do a lot of practice. I especially like the game below these lines because it trains your ears too. If you feel it’s too easy for you , you can always click here and choose a harder level or play hangman or whatever you fancy.
This site also allows me to create my own interactive games and I’ve decided to try the hangman game first and see what it looks like…. awesome!!! Come on ..what are you waiting for??? Play the game and guess the word before Grandma is abducted by aliens.. Target language : Sports. Level: Pre-intermediate
Still on the subject of sports, today let’s focus on a writing activity where you’ll have to make use of lots of things learnt this week, namely
What to do?? Simple!!! Look at the following pictures. What do they all have in common? Exactly!! They’re all sports.
What do you have to do? Choose a sport and give a good definition for it, mentioning everything you know about it as regards equipment, rules of the game, where you can practise it…etc. Make sure you do not write the name of the sport as we, readers, will have to guess the name of the sport you are describing.
Need a dictionary? Here : Monolingual http://dictionary.cambridge.org/

Ready??
Tired of doing boring exercises with relative sentences? Have some fun and tell me: Is this sentence correct?
