Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any good websites they use for games and activities for their class. If you would be willing to share that would be great. My girlfriend and I are teaching in elementary and middle schools. So any help would be appreciated.

Use search engines.

http://www.eflclassroom.ning.com is great. Get on the mailing list. Karafun is a pretty cool program.

http://simplybox.com/public/?id=33119%20. these are ESL blogs from last months 2.0 email.

http://www.esl-galaxy.com/games.html has the basic rundown of tried and true classics. These include, hotseat, running dictation, chinese whispers miming, etc. Don't be afraid to alter/improve the activities to fit you and your class.

There is a ton of stuff out there.

For elementary lessons take a look at the co-teaching lessons plans located here
Here's a link to the 5th grade songs, and a link to the 6th grade songs. Download karafun, and then just click and play. These songs are specific for the chapters of the national elementary text. Here's the link to them for a web based version. There is not a song for every chapter.
Also, bookmark my elementary youtube site. There are 82 songs specifically geared for young learners: easily enough for an entire year.
SO you've got choices: youtube, or karafun, but either way these songs are a great addition, especially since they're specific for the content of the national textbook.

Also visit my Esnip�s elementary resource page. Most of the files are geared to the national curriculum, but there are other resources: projects, lesson planning ideas, etc.

Download Karaoke software here

Bookmark clipart sights for flashcards here

And finally here are some ideas on how to run a language class. Check this site, and this one).
