ESL Games: English Language Games for Children is a collection of 176 fun, effective and motivating games for busy teachers who want to inspire their pupils and give them the best chance to become confident with English. The ESL game descriptions are written up with variants for all types of classes from small to large. The English language games cover listening and speaking skills, the goal being that your pupils will actually be able to use the English you cover in your curriculum through repetition that is inherent in the language games, which are really disguised vocabulary and grammar drills, dressed up in fun packaging. In addition spelling and writing games are included, with some reading games. There is no need to consume half a rain forest printing out dozens of worksheets that are mostly white space and take a few minutes to fill in. With these games you need either no resources or vocabulary flashcards, which if laminated may be used for life. "ESL Games: 176 English Language Games for Children" by Shelley Vernon has already helped thousands of teachers around the world via the digital format. It can be a challenge learning to teach, or changing your teaching style but even if you do it one new game a day you'll soon be well on the way to being the inspirational teacher you really want to be.
