iamirish21, i try to use different types of games because those ages are especially complicated as regards speaking. They get easily bored and i find it quite difficult with some students to make them speak.
The easiest games are usually the ones which work better for me. Time ago, one day, I took from an old box my "Who is Who" own game. The one I used to play with when i was young and that is the one they love most. They get really excited and it works with almost all ages. As soon as they learn the body parts and how to ask about them (has it got ... brown eyes/ dark hair/ a moustache/ a hat.../ is it ...)
Another game it works well with my students is the following one: I think about an animal (you can try with different topics) and just asking yes/no questions they have to guess it. (does it live in....?/ does it eat.../ can it fly/ swim/ is it a wild animal....) For more advanced students they can ask any type of questions.
The battleship games (you can find many of them here, i like the ones by lili27) are also quite good. Take a look at this for instance:
http://www.eslprintables.com/cinema_and_television/movies/movies_for_kids/the_smurfs/Smurfs_Battleship_with_daily_r_566442/#thetop
These are just some ideas. You can get in touch with me if you need any help or materials.
