Hello, there are really good games.. thanks for sharing all the games.

But I think we aren't teaching English each other here, all of us are the teachers if I'm not wrong.. So we don't need to correct each other...dice is  commonly used in English and most of the people haven't heard of the word "die" as the singular form of the dice... I haven't heard it before...!! Please instead of correcting each other, let's give each other different and interesting ideas which we can use in our classrooms...

Also I have an idea for a vocabulary  game..You have four or five groups in the class. You can determine the categories and the time.You will have categoires before you start according to the vocabulary you taught before and also it depends on the time you will play the game.20 minutes is generally enough.The students will write as many words as they can. You can give them 2 minutes for each category. Each group try to write as many words as they can about the given category until given time finishes.For example if you teach clothes, jobs, animals, cities.., this game can be funny. I think it is suitable for the students who are 8-11.

Hi David!

I’m an English teacher from Portugal. I teach high school students (ages 11-18) and I learned a very nice activity at a teacher’s development session.

1. Think of famous people and write their names down in pieces of paper. Choose a number of famous people according to the number of students you have in your class.

2. Tell them you are all going to play a speaking game and ask them to stand up facing the board.

3. Stick the pieces of paper on their backs and then tell them to mix and ask questions to each other in order to find out the name they have on their backs.

4. They have to ask questions like this: Am I a man or a woman? / Where do I work?....and so on!

It’s great fun and they find out how important questions are!!

Have fun! Margarida

Hi. I am fourth-year English teacher from Ukraine. My name is Ludmila. Speaking games are very popular in our school. Most of all, I like the game "Cobweb" with a ball of thread. One student asks a question and throws the ball of thread to another student and so on...in such way we have the cobweb. Then we wind the ball asking another question. Good luck!

Do you mean you have been teaching English for one year? Is that what you mean by "one-year English teacher"? "Could you please contact me," not "could you please contact WITH me". 

Dice is plural. The singular form is die. Why doesn't anybody know this?

Hi, I am a one-year English teacher from Turkey. My name is Sultan. I would like to learn more speaking games. Could you please contact with me?

Fun English Speaking games? Well, you can make several questions that you put in small pieces of papers. Then you make one dice from paper. You ask your students to take turns throwing the dice and open the quetions to be answered.

Hi, I can help you because I have tried something like this in my classroom. When you have a reading text try to choose a paragraph, then choose a good student. Ask him to summarize this paragraph. The student will summarize it, then go to another student and ask him to tell his friend's summary he listened to the first summery. Then he will be able to give you a good summary. He will not be shy because he will have an idea about what he will say. Thanks a lot Mr Mahmoud My mail is nourrm@epals.com I also would like to ask you about something. My classes have students of 25 in number. Have you ever used gamed in class? Can you tell me how can I use them? Can you give me an example? Thanks

Hi David I read in the internet that there is a pretty interesting game. Teachers also taught it in Japan. You can use it to teach nouns, verbs or descriptions. It goes this way: eg: topic is emotions pupils are grouped they take turns it goes clap clap pupil one needs to say one kind of feeling eg: happy clap clap, pupil two says sad, clap clap, pupil three says jealous..... and so on if they are stunned then out they go. the winners of each group can then pit against one another Tried it myself, quite interesting. Other games are pyramid game. It uses ppt. If you are interested in it, let me know because it is quite a large file Hweehwee

Does anyone have some fun English speaking games they would like to share? I am currently teaching English in Japan to junior high school students, (ages 13-15), and am always interested in new ideas! ;-) Thanks in advance for your help / suggestions! David
