Hi

I'm putting together a list of my very best web activities & ESL games sites. Wondering if other teachers can share a few of theirs. Mine, in order of preference are:

1. WWW.ENGLISHMAZE.COM (#1)
2. www.english-to-go.com (#2)
3. www.english-at-home.com
4. www.englishzone.com
5. www.englishbaby.com
6. www.englishlearner.com
7. www.eslcafe.com
8. www.englishtower.com
9. www.houseofenglish.com.br
10. www.onestopenglish.com

If anyone's interested in sharing their ideas and opinions on these and other sites, I'd be most grateful.

All the best

Trebor

Can I be cheeky and add my Grammarman site to the list?

http://www.grammarmancomic.com

It's small in comparison to the giants listed above, but I think it's the only EFL site with comics specifically for English students.

[mesmark]

Brian - Sorry, I thought I listed yours.

[special-doris]

[eslweb]

I'll be cheeky and add my website too:
http://www.jamesabela.co.uk/

I am very interested in these activities.

[Graça]

I am very interested.

[JOAQUINA]

Hi!
Unfortunately I'm not adding any web activities and ESL games to your list but I find it very useful, although my favourite is www.eslcafe.com

[roz]

Thanks for the websites. I can also suggest: http://www.linktolearning.com/
Both the ESL link & Language link have activities for younger students.

When I have a beginner level, I usually go to "sesame street". It's very funny and the childrem like it a lot. They can choose the character they prefer and the games are attractive. Even the older ones(in the 8th or 9th grade) like this site, which apparently seems quite stange. Why don't you try it?

[Helga]

How many students can play this game?
