ESL Games and Classroom
Activities is a collection of reproducible and ready-to-use
exercises for English as a Second Language students of all ages.
These are some of the many efficient exercises I have created and
used during my career as an ESL teacher. Activities in this book are
intended to get students to take initiative and be more involved in
the classroom. This collection of 80 activities covers a wide
variety of topics in language areas such as Spelling, Grammar,
Writing, Speaking and Listening, Vocabulary and Word Structure, and
Pronunciation. Exercises in this book include Vocabulary,
Icebreakers, Discussions, Grammar, Word Order, Role-playing,
Socializing, Fill in the Blanks, Classifying, Word Matching, Journal
Writing, Games, Peer Interviewing, Rhyming Words, Storytelling,
Writing Topics, Spelling, Vowels, Consonants, Clustering, Oral
Presentations, Word Association, Proverbs, Suffixes and Prefixes, On
the Map, and many more. This book contains easy-to-use
language-generating activities to increase students’ motivation and
participation. · Exercises and games are clearly explained, and
short definitions are given where necessary. · Each activity starts
on a new page to allow photocopying for classroom use. · Students
can complete exercises individually, in pairs, in small groups, or
with the whole class. · Exercises can be completed in class or
assigned as homework. · An Answer Key is included at the back of the
book. These activities are designed to build self-esteem and develop
new language skills or reinforce skills already mastered in all
language areas. With these fun and surprising exercises, students
will be motivated, challenged, and inspired in their learning
process. Teachers will find these activities attractive and useful
in making their lessons more pertinent and fun.
