Hello~ :)
here is a Cookie Monster Game I made for my after school class of 5-6th graders ^~^

The topic is on Ordering Food but you can always change to add your own questions for which ever topic you are teaching :D

There are 5 topics such as "Do you like.." "Breakfast lunch dinner" "I ate __ on Monday" "I would like to order.." "I like to eat.."
& instead of numbers or alphabet, each question is a Fruit/Veggie so they can practice their fruit and vegetable words when picking a question~

I hope this is helpful for some of you ^~^

The Disney themed presentation covers comparative adjectives: tall, taller. For games, I used a team flashcard game. Two teams. Two players start in back of the class. When I show picture, they run/skip/hop/walk backwards to dice. First person to grab the dice answer the question: "Who is taller, who is meaner, ect.Then they roll the dice to see how many points they get for their team. For applied practice, there are pictures attached at the end. Students get in pairs and have to say five comparisons they find in the picture using the comparative rules we just learned.

This was used with a smaller afterschool 5th/6th class.

this is the mrio game i will use for my after school class soon but i think ll levels could do it

I've spent hours and hours creating this material for my 4, 5, and 6th grade after school English Club but I think it can probably be useful for upcoming English Camps too.
Hope somebody can get something out of it...

The Memory Game is my favorite thing and the kids loved it. Kept them busy for a really long time. Use the Describing Food PPT first to discuss adjectives.

When doing writing activities with my kids, I give them a few options..

For example, if we're doing journal writing on a specific topic, the advanced students can just go ahead and do free writing. I encourage all to do free writing, but I also put some fill in the blanks type sentences on the board to give guidance to the students that need it.
Also, that way, you are not singling out kids who need extra help.
I find that kids are generally pretty honest and wont pick the easier version if they dont need it. 

Thats just one idea for writing anyways :)

After school classes are my favorites <3  Hope you can use some of these ideas!

EDIT:  OK, so you're elementary so some of these will probably be waaaaay too hard.  But maybe you can get some ideas from them!


Long Term Projects
English notebooks/journals – each student is given their own English notebook.  For the first ten minutes of after school classes each week, students should write in their English notebook.  Students can either write on the prompt provided, or they can free write whatever they want (stories, journal, comic-style), etc.  Prompts can include ‘write about yourself’ exercises – what is your favorite thing to do? what is your favorite place? etc., or they can be responses to a short video or piece of reading.   Journals will be collected every week for revision by the NET.

Korea Tourism Ad – students must create a mixed-media tourism ad for Korea.  In English, students must describe great places to go in Korea and why people should be interested in Korea.  Students should use a combination of audio elements – song and speech – and visual elements – film and photography – to explain what is special about their country.  (requires access to computer, camera, etc.)

English Book Club – Students listen to and read a book in English.  Students will explain in English what the book is about.  They will describe what they like and don’t like, who their favorite characters are, etc.  Students will explore the relationship between cause-and-effect.  Students will practice thinking critically in English.  Students write their own version of the book – they can write a summary of the book as-is, or they can write a story based off the book but change certain elements (character, plot, etc).  Works best if NET also has copy of audio book.

Make-Your-Own Game – students will make their own board game, card game, or RPG game.  The game can be about any theme and have any rules they decide, but all elements must be in English.

Journal/Free Write Prompts
Why do you want to learn English?
What is your favorite thing to do and why?
What do you like about your school?  What don’t you like?
Describe someone you admire.  Who are they?  What do they do?  Why do you admire them?
Look at a picture.  Write a story about what is happening in the picture.
What is your dream vacation?  Where would you go?  What would you do?  Why?
Watch a short video and write a reaction to it.  Did you like it? Why or why not? What happened?
What is your most precious possession?  Why?
What makes you angry?  Why?
What is your favorite place?  Why?  Where is it?  How do you feel when you are there?
What is your favorite song?  Why?
What would you do if you were president?  What laws would you make?  How would you treat people who broke laws?
Free write.  Write one full paragraph about anything.

Non-Game Activities

Personality Test.  Use a shortened/simplified version of the Meyers-Brigg personality test.  Have students take the test and determine their personality type.  Talk about what different personality types means, and whether or not the students agree with their personality types.

Horoscopes.  Talk about the zodiac.  Have students figure out what sign they are. Talk about what different personality types means, and whether or not the students agree with their personality types.  Discuss the similarities/differences between the Chinese zodiac and Western zodiac.  Compare it also to fortune telling and blood type beliefs.

Comics
1.   Give students blank comics to fill in with their own stories.
2.   Have students share their comics.
3.   Round-robin comic on board.  One student draws the first picture, the next the first words.  The third student draws a new picture in the next frame, the fourth student the next words, etc.

Games
Secret Identity
1.   One student leaves the room.
2.   The class decides on the “identity” of the person in the hall.  The “identity” can be a famous person, an occupation, a characteristic, etc.  Let the class decide.
3.   Call the student back to class.
4.   The student must guess what their identity is based on the class.  The class should ask questions that relate to the identity.  For example, if the identity is “barber,” the class should ask “How much is a hair cut?”  “Can you only cut a little?” etc.
5.   The game ends when the student correctly guesses their “identity.”
VARIATION:  Prepare cards that have different identities on them.  Tape one to the back of each student.  Each student must ask questions of other students to find out their identity.   

Who Am I? (Reverse “Secret Identity”)
1.   Have pictures of popular people and characters.
2.   Show one to a student.
3.   Have the class ask questions to the student to find out the identity.
4.   The person who correctly guesses is the new special student.

Catchphrase
1.   Make a list of words that can be formed by two other words.
2.   Show two pictures that make a word.
3.   Have students correctly guess the word. (ex. rain + bow = rainbow)

Hot Seat / Speed Quiz
1.   Have prepared pictures of famous people, things, places, etc.
2.   Divide class into two teams.  One person from each team must stand with their back to the board/projector.
3.   Show the pictures to the rest of the class.  Students must get their teammate to say what is on the slide/board without actually saying the word.
4.   Whoever guesses first wins a point for their team.

Scattegories
1.   Give students a category.
2.   Students must write down as many words they can think of that fall in that category.  Ex: “fruit” – apple, banana, etc.
3.   Whoever has the most points wins (1 correctly spelled word = 1 point).  Have five words per category pre-prepared.  If students match those words, they get 1 extra point per word.

Word Scramble
1.   Have letters prepared (can re-use scrabble letters). Divide students into teams.
2.   Line letters up to misspell a word.
3.   Have students unscramble the word.
4.   The first to unscramble wins.

Already Prepared Games:
Scrabble
Boggle
Apples to Apples
Bananagrams

hi,

i do english club for 80 minutes a week and this week we made story books. i taught a quick lesson on what stories were and what they needed to include (plot, character, setting) and we brainstormed ideas for all 3 of those things.

then we made accordion books.
check out this video:

they really liked it and got super creative!

I have an after school class of 5th and 6th graders of mixed level.  A few of the students have a very firm grasp on English and others are in the class because they can read well enough to pass the entrance test.  This is a lesson plan I'm attempting this week.  I'm actually going to stretch it out over two week (we meet once a week). 

In the first class, I plan to introduce them to the new dragon vocabulary and have them do some comprehension worksheets.  My classes are two hours so in the second hour, we will start the movie "How to Train Your Dragon." 

In the second class, we will finish the movie and the students will make dragon playing cards (similar to pokemon cards).  Hopefully, we can get some dragon battles going and see which student created the strongest dragon. 

I got this idea from a friend of mine and her students are much more advanced then mine so I modified the lesson plan for my student's ability levels.  The Guide to Dragons can be used as a Lesson Plan if needed although, I changed the "Day 2" activities.

Hope you find this useful!

I teach Grade 6 afterschool, and for the first day, I used a "Who Am I?" as an introductory exercise. We went over possible answers for each blank, and brainstormed activities, favourites etc. to make sure they had the vocabulary. Once they had filled out the blanks, I took pictures of each student, and later developed them. We then played BINGO, with each student having to ask about one of their favourite things.

The next class we then made a "class book", with one page from each student. It got them talking about themselves, and it helped me to assess what they knew. The template is here, nothing fancy as fancy worksheets are not part of my skill set  :)

Hope it's helpful so someone, even just as an idea!

What about CLIL (Content & Language Integrated Learning)

Essentially, it means teaching other topics in your English Classes.  I had to start offer these types of classes for a Advanced Placement afterschool program but the concept can be implemented for lower level students as well.  Bring history, science, poetry, or other topics into your classroom.

This week I had a Hostory class where we read a short article on Egyptian Mummies (we all know these kids are death crazy) Then talked about archeology and transitioned into talking about fakes, forgeries and hoaxes.  I finished with a Archeology auction. It was just a OOT with pictures of various archaeological items, some real and some fake. Kids were given a budget of 100,000 won and had to bid for items. The team with the most real items at the end were the winner.  The lesson was a home run and the kids had a blast.

Long story short, creativity can provide and endless source of lessons if you expand the scope of your content.
