Gamifying the lesson!

Students love playing games. They do it all the time and at all ages. Virtual games are an excellent way of practising the language in an enjoyable way.
From Graham Stanley's games one I liked very much, maybe because we have just celebrated Halloween, is Darker Ride Escape. http://www.mousecity.com/games/point-and-click/darker-ride-escape/
This game provides the students with a walkthrough that is displayed in a video.
During the game the students pick up elements, solve puzzles, for instance:

The sound gives students the creepy, spooky atmosphere. The pictures are great for this celebration. In this caption I had to use the key I had previously picked up to open one of the doors!
