Summary
Games are great tools to engage students in their learning.
There are many educational benefits to playing games in the classroom.
The best benefit that occurs from playing games in the classroom is that students are learning content in a fun, engaging way!
Teachers can access a database of ready-made games or create the games themselves.
While teaching with Zoom, I struggled to find ways to adapt the active games I'd used in my physical classroom.
One of my favorite games to play with intermediate learners involves an extension of the popular language-teaching game: 2 Truths & 1 Lie.
"Getting to know you" games can be terrific for any time you want a group to learn more information about each "Player" in the class, including and going beyond learning one another's names.
