USING GAMES
Learning a language is often a hard task which can sometimes
be frustrating, especially, if the
language is not used in daily life by the community. Constant effort is required
to understand, produce
and manipulate the target language. Well- prepared games are very useful as
they give students a break
and at the same time allow students to practice language skills in a joyful situation. Well-chosen games
are highly motivating since they are amusing and interesting.
At the same time, you may put enough
challenge to students so that they will learn to practice the language while having fun activities. They also
employ valuable and practical language in real contexts. They also encourage and increase cooperation
among learners.
In this chapter, I list games that were often practiced during LAPIS-ELTIS training (LAPIS-ELTIS,
2008a, b, c, d & e) with some adaptation and elaboration.
‘Getting to Know You’ Games
There different kinds of activities to make students know one another and feel at ease with one another
as well as with you.
Important Figures
Introduce yourself very briefly.
Write down 5 important figures on the board and ask your students to guess. Your figures can
include years of important events in your life, number of your kids, siblings, house, friends in
facebook, and number of books you have read.
Ask your students to guess what the numbers are.
If your students know all the numbers—either they guessed them correctly or you
told them to save
time—ask them to write their own important numbers.
Ask them to go around the class and guess the other three people’s numbers.
