Fun ESL Games for Children
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2023 1:33 pm
Halo Super Teachers!
Hope you are all doing great! I want to share Fun ESL Games for Children to Learn in English Class, such as:
All A-board
A simple game- but all the best ones are! Depending on your class size depends on how you want to split up your learners. You could split them down the middle into two teams, or smaller groups if that’s what suits your class best. Pick a topic that you’ve covered with your class, like animals, food, or anything else, and put it up on the board. Split the board into sections depending on how many teams there are. Then learners essentially take part in a relay race within their teams, taking it in turns to pass on the pen and write a word related to that topic up on the board. Award points for correctly spelt words. You should set a time limit for this game, like using our Blast Off Countdown Timer.
The Association Game
This is a great game to help learners build their vocabulary. You can stick with one topic and use it at the end of a lesson for learners to practise what they’ve learnt, or even use it at the end of the year and explore a range of vocabulary that you’ve covered. To play, all of your children should stand in a circle. You pick a word and then the person next to you has to say another word that is somehow linked. For example, if the first person said ‘strawberries’, the next person might say ‘red’, and then the next person might say ‘tomatoes’. Set a time limit for how long children have to pick a word, and if they can’t think of one in that time, they’re out. It gets harder the further around the circle you go as you can’t repeat anything that’s been said before you.
What’s Wrong With Me?
A game where everyone gets sick! (Hypothetically). This is a great game when practising vocabulary related to illness. Write out different illnesses onto sticky notes and stick them onto learners’ backs. Learners then walk around the classroom, asking advice for about their illness from classmates. Based on this advice, learners should try and work out what their illness is.
and still many more, you can read and explore it here: https://www.twinkl.co.id/blog/15-fun-es ... lish-class
Hope it help :)
