Try 'Dave's ESL Cafe'.  It is for both teachers and students of English and it contains games, puzzles, exercises and even lesson plans.  I'm an English teacher and I use it all the time.  I also think that it would be great for students to use by themselves.

I'm a teacher, too, and I like some of these ideas.  I made cartoony looking fruit faces on my color printer with the kids' names and laminated them and put holes in the top with a string.  I then put a plate with real fruits on it on each table (mine were square-not that it matters) Some of the fruits were cut up.  As children came into the room, I put the fruit necklaces on them and told them they had to find their new "bowl" and not to touch.  Everyone who "played nice" and followed all the rules got to share in the fruity snacks!  Now,  we use the necklaces on cubbies and chairs and for play teams and the like.  Other things could work with this method, too, like sports balls, cartoon characters, stuffed critters, etc.  You just need a good clip art pack!

www.sitesforteachers.com has lots of links to other sites\n\nwww.dltk-kids.com is a good site for younger age groups.\n\nwww.kidzone.ws has a lot of educational worksheets.\n\nIt really depends on what age group you are working with.  \n\nI hope this helps.
