- Quizzes:
 ActivInspire revision quiz flipcharts (Jeopardy, Tornado, Millionaire
etc.): These adaptive quizzes are very easy to make/modify and a
welcome break from traditional ways to review grammar and
vocabulary. As a matter of fact, they are always fun and engaging for
the students, and can be very useful as a means for revision after
finishing certain units in the course book and/or as last lesson
activities at the end of the term.

In addition to revising grammar, other quizzes can be made such as a

quiz for idiomatic expressions, which I prepared as a challenge for an
advanced class.

I have provided a few Jeopardy quizzes that I made in the Quizzes

folder. (Special thanks to Lamya C who introduced me to the
Jeopardy flipchart quiz format)

 Eslgamesworld/Eslgamesplus: these websites contain a plethora of

grammar and vocabulary ESL games, which are usually in the form of
animated/interactive quizzes. The quizzes are designed are easy to
use, and perfect as controlled practise when students had been
introduced to a new grammar point for instance.
