Quizlet is a web-based tool that allows users to create study tools such as interactive flashcards, tests, and study games. With Quizlet, students can choose their own “Study Mode.” This allows activity content to be migrated from flashcards to matching games to other types of study games easily and responsively. Quizlet activities can also be embedded easily into course management systems.

An in-class game that Quizlet offers is Quizlet Live. Students work in teams to learn study sets by correctly matching the terms and definitions. The first team to match all the terms and definitions in a study set wins! This is a perfect game to practise sets of vocabulary.

Kahoot is an online game - based learning platform which allows teachers to set up fun web-based learning for others. Kahoot can be used as a fun trivia activity to do with students in class. Here's a tutorial on how to use Kahoot for schools:

One activity that proves to be very effective is the student-paced challenge, which allows students to play at their own pace at home. Participants will see both the question and possible answers, or a space to submit an answer. They get points at the end of the challenge and reach a position in the Kahoot ranking of the game. It's great to practise any aspect of the language, from tenses to different vocabulary areas.

Mentimeter is a presentation tool that is designed to work digitally, live. It's built both for use in the classroom as well as for remote education. This tool allows teachers to interact with the students in real time, take a poll, present a quiz, and more. 

The word cloud can be a good way to work in class to brainstorm ideas, perhaps when creating character traits in a story, for example. 

If you are struggling with getting students to share their thoughts, Mentimeter is a tool that should definitely be considered. It allows students to remain anonymous while still being able to express their thinking and view others' thoughts. For example, if a teacher or presenter wants to ask an open-ended question, an ongoing post-board will appear on the screen and students can add responses to the question as they please.
