15-Picture Labeling
When teaching vocabulary lessons, you will likely incorporate a lot of images to reinforce the meanings of the words. To get the students to practice the vocabulary, an easy activity is Picture Labeling. This works well for starter students and even young learners. 


16-Write a sentence under the picture
To get the students to use the grammar or vocabulary in a complete sentence, give a simple image and ask the students to write a sentence to describe the picture. 

__________________________
(The man reads a newspaper.)

__________________________
(The giraffe is tall.)


17-Matching
Matching activities work well for all levels of students and for both grammar and vocabulary lessons. You can ask the students to match images to vocabulary words, words to definitions or even to complete grammar conjugations.
______1. 2:15 A. It’s a quarter to two.
______2. 1:45 B. It’s a quarter past twelve.
______3. 12:15 C. It’s a quarter past two.

18-Flashcards: Slap
When teaching vocabulary, especially when working with Starter students and young learners, flashcards are a great way to practice. Your flashcards should have pictures and the vocabulary words in English. There are a number of games you can play with your students in order to give them the guided, repetitive practice they need in order to master the vocabulary.
One of our favorite games is called “Slap.” Students should be working in pairs, and all pictures should be face-up on the table between both partners. Teacher gives instructions, “Put your hands on your head. When I say one of the vocabulary words, quickly touch the picture. Ready? Mustache! If you touched it first, keep it! Put your hands on your shoulders! Beard! etc.” This should be a fast game, and you should be able to play it more than once in a lesson, only using a couple of minutes of your allotted time for practice activities.
