Games and Lesson Planning

Take away a stock of fun games, easily incorporated into the language classroom and learn how to build a lesson plan.

Games:
This looks at:

• The importance of games in the language classroom
• A variety of games such as battleships, pictionary, charades, snakes and ladders and how to incorporate them into the language classroom

• The main principles of good lesson planning are variety and flexibility:
• Variety – it is important to include a mix of reading, writing, speaking and listening skills into the lesson plans.
• Flexibility – it is important to be sensitive to the mood of the class. If something isn’t going well, you may need to abandon it and move on, or change tack completely.
