What kind of activities are fit for the middle-school students and can help to involve in all the students?

I think maybe you can just google some classroom activities online and try to apply them into your own teaching. It really needs time and experiments.

I got something useful from an old teacher.
He knows how to deal with students well.

This web may help you http://www.eslkidstuff.com/Classroomgamesframe.htm

This is a place where English teachers can share games and activities that they have found useful in the classroom. http://iteslj.org/c/games.html

This page gathers information about field-tested classroom activities (including teacher notes, student worksheets, and/or Sketchpad documents). http://www.dynamicgeometry.com/General_ ... ities.html

Try role-Play. I think this kind of activity will help the students communicate with each other in one context and develop their ability to organize and cooperate with each other.

I taught Grade 7 and 8 English this past year and had a blast developing fun classroom games.

Looking for a fun speaking activity to practice introductions, asking and answering questions, and discussing hobbies? I have used this spin off of "The Dating Game" in a number of different settings and it is always a hit with students.

Preparation:

1) At home print out the four different sets of characters included in this article. There are four sets of characters, Female Contestants A &B, and Male Contestants A & B.

2) Cut each set along the dotted lines and put each in a separate envelope.

3) Label the envelopes Female A, Female B, Male A and Male B and put each set in it designated envelope.

4) You will need at least one set for every four students. If you have a large class, you may want to make two sets per each group of four so the game can move faster.

Playing the Game:

1) Explain the concept of "The Dating Game" to students. Draw a diagram on the board showing one female interviewing three male contestants. Explain that in the US there was a TV show called "The Dating Game." Explain that the female is looking to find the best date of the three men she is interviewing. If you are in a more conservative setting, you can change this to "The Marriage Game" and explain that the woman is interviewing potential husbands to find a match.
