Guessing games. Like you teach animals, and you put all the animals that you taught, on one page. give them 1-2 minutes to remember them, and then cover all of them with different colors. For each one they answer correctly, give them a star or a heart. If they couldn't answer, leave the picture for the end.
Simon say : This game when one person gives commands , and the others have to follow..

Games like Scrabble, Pictionary or a round of Charades also encourage vocabulary development and communication skills. Jokes. Telling age-appropriate puns will also help foster good humour and creativity in children. This also encourages wordplay and imagination.

It seems some of the foundational topics are evergreen and I'm currently reading textbooks to build up my own foundational knowledge. Right now, I'm reading a book called Comprehensive Articulatory Phonetics with the idea that it may give me more tools to assist pupils with accent reduction. Sometimes, I also run my own experiments and try to be the cutting edge rather than just be on the cutting edge. Although, this approach is not always easy if one is working for a company that requires tutors to strictly adhere to their materials and methods. I think one of the most enjoyable things I ever did was teach a student who did not know all the vocabulary words for items in a kitchen by cooking scrambled eggs. He never forgot the word "spatula" again.

Monologues in the mirror can be good for shy people. Otherwise speaking to fluent speakers, not being afraid to ask questions, make mistakes and being patient with the process.
