Hangman is a good one, eye spy is also really good. Maybe you can download a scrabble app and play it. All these games are fun and helps build language.
I have created a survivor game called "Horror Island. " It's great for a group activity or compete in teams. They have to choose supplies, options of escape and fend off animals (virtually of course) it's a combination of an escape room and choose your own adventure. It promotes conversation and use of debate and persuasive lexicons.
I use a variety of games to keep their interest and attention. Games include: singing songs, finding the hidden object, preposition easter egg hunt games, describing images and having the other guess what it is. I incorporate many activities in my classrooms.

STOP is the best game to build vocabulary with your students. Trust me, it's awesome!
I draw something on the board and ask students to share their thoughts about that thinga. In this way, alot of new comments been given by the students which is an easy source of learning for others. I give them room of thinking and increase their knowledge as well.

A fun game that allows for practicing vocabulary is called "20 questions." It is a game where I/the student thinks of something in mind (typically an animal) and the other person has to figure it out by asking yes or no questions.
I draw a spider web and asks short questions sequence wise. After collecting the answers, I write them on the arms of my spider. Students really enjoy this activity. It's the best way to learn quickly and easily.

What kind of method do you use to explain clearly each conditional for students? Do you provide some examples from real life and how you do it? Thank you!
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
