Game Cards: In The Classroom

Students love playing games in their free time, be it video, mobile or tabletop games, but numerous studies have also shown the importance and positive impact games can have on learning. Incorporating games in your classroom can help your learners develop a positive relationship with the language and English lessons. While working with games, the teacher’s role changes from an instructor to a guide. This helps you to reduce teacher talking time and make the students the centre of the lesson.

Try this game with your students using our In The Classroom cards

(All levels; commands, classroom vocabulary)

• You can play this game with both a whole class or dividing into two teams.
• Have one person come to the front and call out the classroom objects in the cards one by one.
• When an object is called, the rest of the students rummage through their things and bring that object to the front of the classroom.
• The first student to bring the requested object gets a point. The player with the most points gets to go to the front and call out cards.
• Have students play three or four rounds to avoid overdoing the activity.
• Correct possible mistakes at the end, anonymously if possible (I heard someone say...) 

When working with games, let loose your creativity to build a motivating environment in your classroom. Remember that emotions are an essential part of the learning process! Enjoy this material with your class, and let us know how you liked it!
