Board games and card games are good reinforcement for learning english.

There are a lot of board games and card games we can choose from; however, we have to make sure that these games are suitable for our students age.

Some games are too hard or too complicated for 1st graders but are too easy for high schoolers, so we must know our students level and find appropriate games for them. 

We have to make sure that we know how to play these games for us to facilitate them and effectively use them as learning materials. 

Teaching the students key phrases to use while playing is important. 

Some of these key phrases are as follows: 

let's play

my turn

your turn

next

pass

draw a card

Aside from these key phrases we can also make students speak while they play. 

For example in playing UNO cards they have to mention the color and number of the card that they put down, day "draw one" every time they draw one card, and say the actions for special cards such as "skip", "reverse", "take two cards", "plus for cards", and "flip".

Board games and card games are something that students always look forward  to.

They have fun and they're learning at the same time.

Do you have a favourite board or card game?
