I'll be heading to Korea soon to teach English. Can anyone recommend books which offer ESL games and activities for students of all ages?

Thanks for your help.

Try "Lesson Plans for the Monster Dance CD" by Pam and Beth Southwell. This is a music cd that is great to use with kids, and there is a book that goes with the cd that has lesson plans involving pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar etc, with flash cards, activities and work sheets.

Here is a long list of books of games and activities for ESL classes:

I would recommend the following:

Five Minute Activities

Grammar Practice Activities

Teaching Large Multilevel Classes

The Standby Book

Planning from Lesson to Lesson

Has anyone used the Word Up game with ESL students? If so, what is your opinion of its value as a teaching tool, and what recommendations do you have about using it?

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

I know this isn't the correct forum for this but I couldn't help notice you saying you are going to Korea to teach esl. I'm interested in doing the same. How did you go about it?

I like "Language Teaching Games and Contests" by W.R. Lee.

There are some copies going cheap on eBay:
