Learning a language is a hard work,isn�t it..?
There are many advantages of using games in the classroom:
1. Games provide language practice in the various skills- speaking, writing, listening and reading
2. They are motivating and challenging. ESL Games can be fun and exciting .
3. They encourage students to interact and communicate.
4. They create a meaningful context for language use.
5.Games are a welcome break from the usual routine .
What games do you usually play with your students?
Here is my list:
1. Tic- tac-toe / grammar/ vocabulary revision
2. Bingo and Memory games
3. Domino
4. Guess...!/the missing object/the mystery person...
5. Word webs
6. Jumbled words
7.Wheel of Fortune
8. Spelling Bee
I discovered some new games on this site ...

I use a lot my MES small and big flashcards. I find flashcard games a lot of fun.
I get the students to play speaking games, go Fish or just memory games with them.
I also like to play my Preposition Game. You just need some plastic items...fruit or vegetables or anything else...as long as you have two of each fruit, etc.
Then I make up two teams...place two cardboard boxes on a table in the middle of the room.
I pre-teach some prepositions such as in, under, on, in front of...and then say: Put the orange in the box, or put the banana under the box, etc.
The kids love this simple game and it �s always been a success with big groups of kids.

I have made:
Memory (concentration) games by subject and occasion. (Christmas/Halloween)
Trivial Pursuit. (the kids made the questions - I type them up and laminate them)
How Many Words Can You Make From These Words game.
Jumble Words
Word Searches
I am thinking of a person game
Hot and cold. (finding a hidden object in the class by saying colder and hotter if they are getting close or too far away)
I Like. (the first person says I like Pizza. The next says, He likes pizza, I like cats. and so on until the last person - who has to remember what everyone else said!)
These are the ones I can think of at the moment.
