This is the BBC’s site that offers hundreds of language games for teaching vocabulary, spelling, reading, writing, grammar and listening. Every topic consists of Fact sheet, quiz, game and worksheet. There are many levels of the games and if you play a grammar game for example, it will lead you not only through a particular grammar but will also prompt your critical thinking and creativity. The games could be easily adapted to any language and executed in power point for example. If you teach a language other than English, you can use the lead in portion of the game in English and let students create a speaking or writing exercises in the target language. Topics are very useful for practicing proficiency in speaking as well since they cover all the fields of interests, from sport to real estate. Some of the games are just like video games where instead the shooting the enemy, you are shooting the "silent letter" for example. Great fun for both teachers and students.
