Alternate learning methods are helpful to make your lectures interesting. Dialogues delivery with actions, online mutual trip, watching movies, talking about favorites, news discussions, everyday communication and obviously talking about faith and beliefs are some important aspects of life which prove to be very interesting during teaching language.

I think the key is having them use the language they are taught. By language, I mean the grammatical and vocabulary items they learn in class and they should be used in spoken and written practices based on a topic. To do so, watching a related video or listening to a sample talk or conversation as a model can be of great help and also they don’t get bored. Task-based learning is also helpful. Put them in a situation in which they need to use specific language. Firstly, ask them to do it using what they know so far. Then take notes of their errors and find the language they lack while they are doing it. After that, give them an input on their errors and the language they need and finally, ask them to redo the task. I hope this helps.
Every child is born with unique strengths and different learning style, so using innovative and diverse teaching strategies can help children better than adopting only some conventional methods.

The best way to learn any Language is by practicing the speaking aspect of the Language often, As for me I always make my class fun, I engage my students in free conversation, encourage them to ask question, and ask them to tell me a life situation story, this always keep my student active and not passive
Learning by doing, enquiry based learning, and project based learning enhance fast and proper learning . Real life situations also lead to authentic language learning.
Interesting question! The most creative way I use to learn English, even today is to allow myself to get carried away by great stories told in English and replay the stories in my head over and over again.

Best answer
The first thing to do when teaching conditionals would be to explain what conditionals are, then provide them with examples, then play a game where they need to identify the conditional, and finally have them create their own to see if they understood it
