Learning language might not be the most fun thing to do. It is difficult and at times not so fun especially when you have to study grammar but it is a necessary evil I'm afraid. In order of being able to speak a language you need vocabulary and grammar. It is the two most important things without it you will not be able to write, read or speak.
When learning a language I would not recommend starting with grammar since it is boring and the students will loose their motivation if they had any when they started. Instead you should begin with vocabulary teach your students words and use different ways of doing this. Be more creative than only using vocabulary lists.
One exercise which might be fun for the students to do is a word map. A word map is built similarly to a mind map that is you but the subject word in the middle for example Christmas. Then the students should come up with words that are related to Christmas such as, food, snow, Christmas tree, decorations and anything else they can come up with. And you connect these with each other where possible. It is important to first show the students what they are expected to do so that the students know what success should look like. After doing one word map together give your students 2-3 words which are related in someway and ask then to try to find the connections by making word maps.
Of course you will also need to follow this up. It can be done thorugh reading comprehension, listening or writing. You will have to use a text where they can find the words that you have given them and thus you as a teacher can see if they have understood the words or not.
