When children feel like they're being taught something, they can tune out and become disinterested very quickly, so try to weave in learning naturally and make it fun at the same time. The beauty of any kind of activity is that you can adapt it according to the age of your students and purpose of any lesson.
 Here are some Activities you can use to foster your student´s learning

Forming Sentences with Words

This fun classroom activity involves students using a range of English words to form sentences that make sense.

Cut out a number of small pieces of paper, enough for one per student and preferably more. After this, write a range of different words on the pieces of paper remembering that you'll need a wide variety to ensure it's actually possible for the students to form correct sentence.That means using everything from adjectives to nouns, verbs and adverbs etc.

 Here are a few examples of words that will probably come in handy:a, it, the, she, is, we, of, house, car, fast, slow, blue, went, live, happy, up, to, he, sister, will, no, yesterday, who, go, food, dad, see, run, small, am, I, rabbit, movie, meet, but, think, can, space, fly, because, so, there, on, should, under, here, be, my, red, eat, not, today, tree, school, why, really, please, yes, quiet, off.
Randomly hand out one piece of paper per students. Tell them they have around 5 minutes (or however long you decide) to form sentences with the help of the other students. They have to search for words that make sense to form a sentence.Once they think they have formed a correct sentence they should let you know so you can check it, if it makes sense, those students can sit down.The other students continue to try and form sentences until they are successful and sitting down, the 5 minutes has elapsed or there are just no more sentences that can possibly be made.

Odd One Out

Odd One Out is a fun ESL classroom activity students must listen to 4 different English words and decide which is different from the others.

Ask the students to stand up at their desks and choose someone to go first (or alternatively ask for a volunteer  Ask the student a question, it can be true or false, multi choice or anything related to what they’re currently learning.

If the student answers correctly they can choose either their row or column to sit down with them, if they answer incorrectly nobody gets to sit down. Continue the game until everyone sits down.

They need to listen carefully to the words you say and decide which is the odd one out. If the student is correct then they can choose either their row or column to sit down with them, if the student is incorrect then nobody gets to sit down. Continue the game until everyone sits down.

If your students have good English, are finding it too easy or you just want to challenge them then you can make them give the reason behind their choice as well as the answer.

Here are a few examples of odd one out questions that you might like to use:

John, Steve, Matthew, Kate - Answer: Kate  (because it's a girl's name)

Brother, Mother, Friend, Daughter - Answer: Friend  (because they aren't family)

Summer, Winter, Spring, March - Answer: March  (because it's a month, not a season)

Tokyo, Sydney, New York, Brazil - Answer: Brazil  (because it's a country, not a city)
