There are board games and card games designed specifically for English language training. The most common feature of these games is that they require identification of an object and its associated meaning. Commercial games such as Memory and Scrabble are great tools for this purpose. When using these commercial games, encourage the students to not only construct the word but to define it as well. Memory is especially prized for second-language learning games where the participants may identify an object in both the native and English equivalents.
