Creative TEFL: 20 Easy-to-Play Classroom Games
Creative and Exciting Classroom Games for New and Experienced Teachers of Young TEFL Learners
Description
During this course I'll be showing you how to play more than 20 games that you can use immediately as is or you'll be able to adapt them to suit your needs for teaching your students. These games are suitable for all teaching styles and have been well-tested on young TEFL learners for over 20 years. So whether you're a new teacher just starting out and you need to start building your repertoire quickly or you might just be someone with years of experience behind you, these games are sure to help add extra spice and creativity to your TEFL classes. With some of these games you will only need a whiteboard, markers and flashcards while with the scoring system games there are some toys involved. However, you can creatively substitute anything at any time and, with a just few of these games under your belt, you can confidently start calling yourself, a 'TEFL Games Meister'.
Why do we play games:
As a method of testing to see if your students have actually learnt something
To break the routine and help your students remain excited about learning
As a way of reviewing large portions of work in a fun way
To ensure that our students don't forget that they are still children who are meant to play and have fun
Even though these games have been tested and tried on TEFL students, I have no doubt they would work in any classroom situation.
All these games can be adapted and be made simpler or more complicated, depending on the level and age of your students. As a point of interest, I have watched trainee teachers play these games with abandon and have as much fun as children do.
The whiteboard games can be adapted and used with any subject, while it goes without saying that the scoring system games are there for the students to test their wits, strength and speed against themselves and their classmates.
