A three great games to practice pronunciation and spelling
Spelling
http://www.bbc.co.uk/hardspell/
All you need to do is choose which word is correct or incorrect against the clock. Pretty hard words, as developed for native speakers so best for Advanced and above.
This seems good. Click subjects at top and from here you can choose from your typical school subjects. I suppose English (grammar and spelling) and geography would be the most useful.

If you click on spelling it just takes you to any random word which you have to choose the appropriate synonym, however if you just quickly do the first the second page then gives you a chance to choose an appropriate level for your class. The fist level would probably suit Intermediate. Hardest is for those who find Countdown easy!!
The bonus is that for every correct answer the site donates 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program.
Punctuation

Based on Lynne Truss's excellent book, "Eat, shoots and Leaves". Simple sentences that you have to punctuate or not! A few tricky ones but Int and above should be ok.
