Are these physical activities or other specific academic subjects about which you are asking? Also, what is the age range of the students? It would be helpful for us to help you the best if we could have just a little more information. Thanks!

I'd start with having a good understanding of what the objectives are for the program, or if there are any specific curriculum requirements to be met. You can likely gather much information from general conversations... getting an idea of vocabulary strengths and weaknesses, verbal and written comprehension, etc.. Depending on the grade level, you might find language/reading games appropriate.

No this is not an homework question. I asked this question in referring to teaching a second language. I don't have any experience in teaching students a second language and I was wondering what different teaching techniques you would use to teach a group of complete beginner to intermediate

First determine what they already know and what you want them to learn. If it is for conversational ability, you might want to use as many of the common words they already know in your day to day dialogue so they hear it frequently. Can help to have environmental words displayed around the room of common items... for example, if they were learning Spanish, you might have the appropriate items labled: ventana-window, puerta-door, libros-books, etc. Find simple games in that language, easy DVDs or videos... can help to be familiar stories but presented in the new language. The more opportunities they have to hear, see, and speak the language day to day the better obviously. A listening type center so that they can hear and read the language with simple books of common words and phrases, record themselves, and listen back to it can be helpful as well.
