If you want reality-based teaching in your classroom - play games… Naaaah... not games that are meant to teach English... Why? This could make your kids feel that they learn and lower their motivation to learn. Games created to teach English are usually not so fun as popular games. Use popular games they love. This way you can easily trick your younger students, that you just wanna play with them ;) Play board games, card games, playground games, role playing games, singing games, guessing games etc. This is what we do on our English Board Games Club meetings !
On our meetings we do a lot of fun things I want to share with you and very often play
board games. Why should you play board games with your kids? Board games make
your work more pleasant and effective.You’re not bored, they’re not bored. Try
to feel like you were their age, like you were 7,8,9 years old. There’s nothing
worse and more motivation-killing than a boring lesson to a kid :P. Apart from improving language skills
and being fun, board games involve competition what increases motivation of
your students. They want to win so much that they always do their best. What's more important board games teach "healthy" competition - how to win and lose with dignity, which is really hard to deal with at early stage of life. Use different kids of games for different purposes. Strategic board games help kids to develop logical thinking. All kinds of trivia games make them gain knowledge from different
areas. There are thousands of games that might be used to improve kids memory, boost their creativity and motivation.
OK, there's nothing left but start playing! You've got at least 13 reasons for that:
