One of the things I like about the Complete IELTS textbook is that they include vocabulary lists for each unit.
(I've come to the conclusion that mastering vocabulary is the key to IELTS. Every time a student has trouble with an IELTS reading or listening, it's almost always vocabulary related.)
Therefore, I encourage the students to study these vocabulary at home, and in class we play various games around the vocabulary.
I use quizlet as optional homework for vocabulary.
In a previous post, I've written about my frustrations with quizlet (namely that you can assign it all you want, but students never do it), and the problem has not changed. But I go through the trouble of making these quizzes anyway because it at least gives the students the sense that I'm trying to help them learn the vocabulary. And then once the vocabulary has been assigned, I feel justified in using it for various games and quizzes in the classroom the next week.

Some of the games I played in class are backs to the Board, using the Doraemon template (drive, slides, pub) and Naruto (drive, slides, pub)
