Popular Games for Teaching English

Post by Patty in Leeds »

Hi {-:

I'd like to recommend popular English games for teaching that I have used in Thailand School recently.
Apparently, students love it!

I also like to play games with a team, I think it's great way to communicate with native speakers while playing.

Thanks for the advice on these games. But, in addition, on my own behalf, I can also recommend various crossword puzzles in English. This is the usual base for expanding vocabulary. And these games are available on mobile phones, tablets or laptops. In general, everyone has something from this.

That's great to hear that you have found popular English games for teaching in Thailand schools. Engaging students with interactive and fun activities is always a fantastic approach to language learning.

If you could share the names of the games or provide more details about them, it would be helpful. It's interesting to learn about effective teaching methods and resources that students enjoy. I'm sure other educators and language enthusiasts would also be interested in hearing about your experiences with these games.

Keep up the great work, and I hope the students continue to enjoy and benefit from these English games in their language learning journey.

I have a story to share about language learning. There are many examples of learning a language through TV shows and movies, and one of my colleagues improved his English through online games. Spending countless hours playing different games and interacting with players from all over the world was able to make incredible progress. Surprisingly, it's not just cooperative games that have helped him, but games like a list on this website of no deposit platforms. We played together, and I had a lot of fun. I think it's excellent that language practice can be found in the most unusual places.

The popular British program Countdown is one of the simplest to incorporate into adult ESL games. TV game shows are a terrific source of ideas. Players take turns choosing a consonant or a vowel to generate nine random letters. They then have to construct the longest word they can out of these characters. pupils frequently get really into it, making it a great game for more reserved pupils. It can be a little challenging, so it's best played at higher levels.
Countdown is an especially effective warm-up game for a class when a few tardy students are likely to show up.
Students can join in as they arrive with little interruption because they work independently and the activity is broken up into several brief rounds. Additionally, as they've completed more rounds, the pupils that arrived on time are rewarded in their score!

A popular game that I have personally used in order to learn better English is without doubt Wordle! For anyone who doesn't know about it, you basically have to guess a 5 letter word each day. Because English is not my native language sometimes I use a wordle solver to help me learn new words.
