9. Fly me to the Moon 
A test of knowledge, and of paper aeroplane strength. Have your learners 
follow 
these instructions to create their own paper aeroplanes. Then put them into 
teams and ask them a set of questions- this could be about any of the topics you’ve 
covered. If a team gets a question right, then they can nominate one member from 
their team to try and throw their paper aeroplane at a target in the classroom. If it hits 
it, they get a point.
10. Interactive Games 
Here at Twinkl, we’ve created a fantastic selection of interactive games that 
work great as fun ESL games for children. Interactive games on the computer are 
another way to keep games entertaining and varied. Scroll through 
this page to find 
hungry hamsters that need feeding with tenses, bingo playing aliens, and synonyms 
that need to be sorted to create a great soup. Ah, the wonders of modern technology. 
The benefit of these games is that they’re so simple to use- just pop one up on your 
screen in your class and get started.
11. Sh! It’s a Secret 
Give each learner a specific word. This could be taken from these 
word cards. 
Then each learner has to prepare a short speech around the topic, hoping to hide the 
word that they were given. If after their speech, no one can guess which word they 
were given, they get a point. If anyone in the class correctly guesses the word they 
were given to hide, they also get a point.

12. Debate game 
So this is less of a game, more of an activity, but it can still be really fun and gives 
your learners to chance to voice their opinions and develop their speaking and 
communication skills. Using these 
question cards, or any topics of your own that you 
want to cover, divide your class into two halves. Give each half a different side of the 
debate to argue for. For example, if the question is ’do you prefer pizza or pasta?’ 
ask one side of the class to argue for pizza and the other side for pasta. You could 
award points for particularly persuasive arguments. Or you could get your class to 
vote at the end of the lesson for who they thought argued their point the best.
