These vocabulary games and activities on video are for practicing and teaching ESL. Some can also work with flashcards and many of them with phrases as well. You would typically use one of these activities after you have presented the vocabulary in your lesson. Activities like these will help your students practice their new vocabulary. Depending on the length of the lesson you would use an activity like this for around 10-20 minutes.

All of the exercises here are labeled whether they will work with children or adults and if they are appropriate for beginners or advanced students.

I would learn the highlighted ones first. Those are the most efficient. They are fun, require little to no prep and when used correctly are educational.
