Group Activities

Activities done in groups or teams, one of the best ways to to keep class fun and students involved.

Pair Activities

Activities done in pairs or teams of two. These are good for smaller classes as well as keeping order in bigger classes.

One Person/Free for All Activities

Activities that students do by themselves or 'every man for himself' as a class. These are good for small classes, but also allow bigger classes to practice individually.

Card Activities

Activities played with cards, be them vocabulary, grammar, or otherwise. Good for younger children and rowdy classes--it lets them be active with their hands but keeps them seated. Also useful for last minute games and improvisation, since different games can be played with the same deck.

Worksheet Activities

Activities done on worksheets or handouts--easy to carry and easy to reproduce.

Vocabulary Activities

Activities that focus on vocabulary--useful for younger grades of elementary school that don't know much grammar. Also good review and confidence-boosting for 5th grade, 6th grade, and junior high.

Grammar Activities

Activities that focus on grammar, especially for 5th grade and older.

Writing/Spelling Activities

Activities that practice the alphabet, writing, and spelling.

Review/Comprehensive Activities

Activities that can be adapted to or cover many different grammar points. The focus is on a broad range of topics and combines them.

Active Activities

Activities that involve moving, especially walking or running. Good for young students and classes that get bored easily. For classes with too much energy and thus usually have to stay at their desks, occasionally letting them play these as a reward can be a good incentive.

Non-Active Activities

Activities that don't require students to walk around or move, a necessity for classes with too much energy.
