Website # 6

http://www.eslgamesworld.com/


 Using this website is a great way to mix things up in the classroom. it is proven that students learn a lot better when they are involved in activities they enjoy. The website offers hundreds of games aimed at improving students' grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The games are grouped by students' proficiency levels, which will be helpful when differentiating instruction. The website can be a valuable resource for educators, since it is geared towards younger learners, who, as we know, need a variety of activities to sustain their attention.

Along with the games, the website also offers plenty of exercises, puzzles, and quizzes. There are also templates for Powerpoint and printable games that will allow teachers to add the desired content. Eslgamesworld is a high quality tool that teachers can use to supplement instruction and reinforce academic skills. Teachers can choose to dedicate the whole lesson or part of the lesson to working in the computer lab. If there is a computer available to students in the classroom, a teacher can use it with students who need exrta practice, or provide challenge to the students who are slightly ahead. Teachers can also use this website as a tool for alternative assessment.

Colorful, high quality graphics  used in games make this website very attractive to users. Adding games from this website to daily classroom activities is a great motivational strategy. However, students will need clear instructions how to navigate the website, as there are a lot of choices and ads that are rather distracting.
