Games for classes

Aunque hay un apartado de este libro dedicado a la explicación de cada juego, en castellano, me ha parecido conveniente componer este guión de juegos. Ahora los coloco por orden de dificultad, o prefiero decir de desafío, para los alumnos. Se puede aprender una lengua jugando. El juego es una imitación de la vida, y más en el caso en que los chicos tienen que utilizar inglés para comunicarse en clase.

They are really fun, both for the teacher and the students. Besides, they practice real communication in English. Give them points for their scoring. They are just set on a list ---further developments and variations might be applied. They cover from basic English up to proficient learners. The protagonists and actors of the following games and challenges ought to be the students themselves. They practice from just words or spelling, up to long expositions or speeches. Present the game in English. Have fun!

1. TPR (Total Physical Response): doing actions said by the teacher or by student.

2. Soccer-players position on the field (or “pitch”): In Spain most of the kids support either of these two teams: Real Madrid and Barça. Ask them: who is the goalkeeper? The defenders? The midfields? The offensives (or “forwards”).

3. At any level: a warmer (or warm-up): a starting quick fun game or just questions to plunge the students into the class-period of English, after the math class-period.

Thanks, Fernando. How long would these games take?
