My Recommendation I would recommend this website to teachers for their own sources

only. It has many grammar notes but not many exercises. All the notes are full of text which seems quite boring.

However, the quizzes on website can be used for students to check their understanding and it has a powerful tool that enable you to cre-ate your own quiz.

If you have a projector in your class, there is a lot of games like hangman or crossword puzzles that the whole class can play to-gether. They can be a good activity to refresh your students.
