This site would be good for practicing parts of speech.
Students names
Sight words
Spelling words
Flash cards
Wordle could be used to describe characters from a book.
Students can make a collage about them using new words. If they are ESL students, they obviously can use new words they have learned. Or in an esl class, you could make one with a bunch of words but have like 10 new words they have learned recently. You can then ask them to circle the words of the week you tell them, or you can say the word and they can point to it on their copy.
You could use it to have the students list words: verbs, adjectives, nouns, adverbs. Use to list math facts: multiples, shapes, fact families, odd/even numbers.

Have them write a short play.
Creative writing using pictures to show actions and then having other students guess what the thought bubbles should say.
Fun way to get students who do not like to read to enjoy reading.
Later in the year student could create their own comics and practice writing skills and technology.
Students can write a story or retell a story.
I can create the comic with character saying the sight words we have learned in a sentence, and have students take a copy of the comic and highlight the words they know.
Dreative writing; teach dialogue - center activity
They could create a comix on sequence of events from a book or scientific process.
They could make comics about science experiments gone wrong, but info has to be accurate.
Use the comix as word problems for math.
