Sounds tough!
1. Maybe try flash cards. If you have a printer you can get them on the internet, print, and have the kids cut them out. Korean book stores have some big flash cards for 4-5000 won.
2. If you have a dictionary, a blackboard, and some old copier paper (already printed on one side) you can go over a few vocabulary words by saying and students repeat and then have them write the words three times to increase memory retention.
3. I bought some canyons and had the kids share. We did the family so I found a coloring page on the Internet and printed some out. If not you could try to get kids to draw and color their family (hard to do with the shy kids and active ones ignore assignments).
4. Newspaper: I don’t know where to get it but a school near you should have old copies of The Kids Times.
5. Again if you have a black board hang-man is a popular game my kids like and I review my vocabulary using it.
6. Songs: print out lyrics or try and write on black board. I-tunes have 100 kids songs for $10.
7. I draw on the board and have kids come up and spell things like clothes, parts of a stick man, and park/playground items. They often can’t spell the things so I spell it out and I do the same topics once every 1-2 or so weeks until their spelling improves.
