When I was in high school, my spanish teacher taught us the proper verb agreement by making a good sized 8 sided dice (dye?) On the dye there was a subject and a choice of 2 or 3 verbs. The teacher starts off the game by throwing the dye to a student, they roll the dye, say the question out loud, and then answer it. If they answer it correctly, they get to throw it to any student they want in the room, but if the student gets it wrong they give it back to the teacher. You could make an incentive for those who get it right in one try if you'd like, but we never got any lol.

There is so much you can do with your time at the end of a lesson that would FACILITATE learning, not just consume time.  I honestly can't believe that a teacher would even ask this question.  I would suggest that you have the students work together in groups to produce a game show like Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (using PowerPoint- you can find templates online), with word problems related to the unit you're studying.  Then, you could use those games to review concepts before the test.

I think just some basic stories.  Many children's books are entirely in the simple present tense.  Try baby books or easy readers.  Hilight the verbs and demonstrate in class.  Have you heard of Total Physical Response Storytelling?  It's a fantastic way to teach languages.\n\nDon't listen to the jerks who answered this question.  I am a teacher and know where you're coming from.  I can't believe some people act like such idiots!  Hey, tarotpete, check your example sentence.  You need to remove the "a" for it to make sense!  LMAO!   Nice!  And bo_hic_a, if you think teachers are overpaid, why don't you try it?  We'll see if you last five minutes in front of a classroom full of teenagers!\n\nGood luck!

Try m-w.com; MirriamWebster's site.  There are lots of games to play and they are all vocab-boosters.  Also, read a lot and practice English with a native speaker.

This site has a dictionary, as well as games that you and your daughter can play. http://aslpro.com/\n\nDont' just rely on the website, though.  It can't teach you the grammatical structures, facial expressions, or social norms.  That you have to get from interaction with someone who is a participant in the Deaf community (maybe Deaf, maybe an interpreter)

As a former teacher trainer in Asia,\n\nGotta set up a routine for you lesson. Let's say you have young ones, start with a song/chant, and then into your "grammar/language" lesson (the crappy books they give you to follow). Seatwork (appropriate for the level). Then end it off with a story. You can ask simple questions for the story, "Find something red. What page was the boy eating the ice cream?" Always good to add a few language games into your lesson. One simple game is for two students with swatters to hit the correct vocab card. Plain, but better than repeating the words. You can make up a whole bunch of language games. Try bingo, but with pics of vocab. Play Simon Says.\n\nI find when I was teachign ESL, my greatest problem and my teachers' greatest problem was the lack of resources. Here is a site: http://www.readinga-z.com/\n\nBuy a $50 yearly member ship and download the books. Get your school to pay for you. This will provide you with 100s of reading activities for ALL levels!

definitely, and I would invest in a few of those programs that make the crossword puzzles with the words that you pick out. I enjoy making these for my kids and they are really learning a lot. you can even make them different from each other so that they don't copy off each other's homework!

I wrote a simple kids Math game in VB6 that plays sound. I can e-mail it to you if you like...

My teacher had a great way of doing this. Tell your students to collect various household items and a few bags. Make sure each kid picks out two specific objects. When everyone returns, teach union and intersect using the kids' "sets".

Try this on for size...Whisper this sentence into one of the kids ear. "My father told my brother that his monkey was digging in the back yard". Now have this student whisper the same sentence to the student next to them and so on until it reaches the last student. Have that student then tell you what he was told. You will be surprised at the answer you get. This works really well with kids age 10 to 15.

first find out what grade level they are reading on by giving them a test i forget what it is called and then find out what they have trouble on (i.e. vowels, long e, etc.) once you have found that out then you can focus on it and in the areas where they are struggling you could come up with a game to help them out and to kinda keep it on a consistant basis.
