These are some game that i have tried:

A. Wacky Web Tales: Reading

In this we the game were classified by grade or difficulty. there are so many game, for English activities, include reading skill, writing skill, listening skill,but I am not sure about speaking. I have explore most of them but, i did not find for speaking, maybe you can explore by yourself. and tell me if you find something great. This game can be eliciting in the class, we can use it for the opening the class, before we start the lesson. All game in this web also related with English lesson, for example, there are games for type of text, tenses, ect. I think that it is really useful. The good news is, there are games for math, so you can share it to your friends, math teacher. I will explain some games for writing and reading.

This is a game for reading, lesson about narrative text. In this game, firstly, you are asked to fill in the blank for some words, 16 words that consists of many kind of word, it will ask, adjective,adjective, pet name, animal (singular), body part(plural), plural noun, foreign language, body part (singular), color etc. After you fill all of it, click the link below. Then surprisingly, there is a narrative text that made based on the word that you fill in the blank before. Ask students to read it carefully, because we can analyze from that text, structure, language feature, etc. Check this out.

B. Digital Dialects: Listening

Purely listening skill practice, actually there is no something special. I think this game is appropriate with elementary students, because this game also to practice our vocabulary. There are many kind of type, like animal, food, number, color, verb infinitive etc. And the best thing is there are many of picture in there. When we click that, the sound appeared. That's why i recommend this game for elementary students, it will interest them. This is the link;
