Board and Card Games - Short Lesson
By:yi
Board games and card games can be an ideal way to support English language-learners, especially when used as centers or stations. Set up games that require verbal questions and answers such as Guess Who?, Go Fish or Bingo. You can also create customized versions of Bingo or card games that are relevant to the vocabulary you are teaching. For example, if you are working on a unit about colors, create Bingo cards with squares of different colors. Call out the names of colors and have children match the color with its name. Memory card games are another way to provide a visual reinforcement of a series of new vocabulary words.
