Using a stopwatch in ESL classes can help add fun and excitement to many lessons. This is a basic stopwatch with both count up and countdown functions. It also has an option to make the timer very big so that everyone can see it clearly.
Don't have any volunteers? Use the 'Random Student Selector'.
You must first enter your students names from each of your classes. The name list will be saved on your computer and you can also use them for any of the games.
This is a great way to force all students to pay attention because they never know if they will be next!
In many countries kids like to use English names in their ESL classes. Sometimes the kids can come up with a name by themselves, but when they can't, use the 'English Name Maker'.
All you do is press the 'Boy' or 'Girl' button, and the 'English Name Maker' will choose 3 names randomly out of 200 of the most popular names. You can then give the student the choice out of the three names.
You can use the 'Automatic Spelling Quiz' with over 70 different categories and 1100 different words. Just choose a category and press 'Start', then wait until the quiz is over!
This also works great for automatic listening tests.
When you have your own games that you want to play, use this exciting scoreboard to keep track of points.
You can add or subtract points manually, or you can use an exciting spin wheel to leave the points up to chance!
