Interactive material in classrooms, like educational games, is always interesting for students. There are sites offering many tools and games ready to use in class. That is not new. But have you ever thought of using the games with adults? Educational games for schools offer games to perfect spelling, learn vocabulary and test language understanding. There is a wide range of educational games in different subjects that you can also take advantage of to teach English.

Use the games as short activities that can be done on mobile phones in five to fifteen minutes before the lesson starts or before it ends. You can also use them in the middle of the lesson to practice something you have just explained. The activities may be aimed at reviewing or introducing grammar, vocabulary or any topic to discuss during classes. The games can even be played as homework. Try Interactive literature or interactive experimenting with science if you want to teach conversation afterwards. If your students need practicing past tenses, I would recommend American history or American inventions with videos, interactive timeline and lesson plans for you, in case you have a younger group. Are your students interested in modern history? Then get some interactive facts on The European Union while other students might prefer to test their knowledge in DNA, refresh, or simply learn new vocabulary.

The games have hidden objects and are a kind of adventure made for all ages, but for the purpose it is better to use them for school children and older.  In Gardenscapes 1 the player has inherited a mansion with a huge garden, which has to be rebuilt with money he can earn by making home sales. During the home sales, the player has to pick hidden objects from different rooms according to what his customers ask for, they name an object, the player hears the word once and
