Games for teaching and learning resource booklet
Games for teaching and learning resource booklet
Games, warmers, energizers, coolers, 5-minute activities
It is essential to include games, energizers, warmers etc in order to make learning fun both for the learners and teachers. Many colleagues also ask for activities related to these areas so I decided to put this resource booklet together. It is divided into 5 parts for ease of reference and access.
Part 1 is about pedagogy of using games in language teaching and learning.
Part 2 is about websites that provide printable and interactive games and activities.
Part 3 is about warmers , lead-ins and energizers that are essential for motivating learners.
Part 4 is a special section of files and book links about games/activities for those colleagues not able to download from Mediafire from certain countries.
Part 5 contains a large number of book on Mediafire that provide games ideas and activities in abundance for all levels and for virtually all language topics.
I hope colleagues find this resource useful, at the least it should prove to be a great timesaver for busy teachers.
1. Pedagogy
Review of books about games in language teaching – explains why its important to use games in language teaching. As Kim (1995) states 'There are many advantages of using games in the classroom:
1. Games are a welcome break from the usual routine of the language class.
2. They are motivating and challenging.
3. Learning a language requires a great deal of effort. Games help students to make and sustain the effort of learning.
4. Games provide language practice in the various skills- speaking, writing, listening and reading.
5. They encourage students to interact and communicate.
6. They create a meaningful context for language use.'
