This proverb, “All work and no play makes jack a dull boy,” tells us that playing is very important, so don’t start playing to learn English. It would be a liberation as soon as we consider learning something completely new. But have you ever imagined you could learn something by playing? Learning and playing is a combination that makes children feel comfortable and at ease.
Instead of forcing them to study hard and choose the press room where we make the publications available to the children, we can make them play the most precise time possible. In this way, they can more easily improve their knowledge and build vocabulary while participating in the actions. Let’s talk about the types of games that help everyone improve their vocabulary and cognitive skills.
Scrabble
It is one of the most popular word games played by forming words on a chessboard. It is recommended for children and not only for adults. Before the game starts, the pieces of the game are mixed. You can start playing and placing the pieces and form words. In each turn, the players try to create a note in English on the chessboard by shuffling the pieces. The player with the highest score wins the game.
Name, Place, Animal, and Thing
All you need to start this game is paper and pencil. You could do it among many players. The players should get a pen and paper. The players must draw name, animal, place, and thing in all four columns of their card.
Two people are selected as the actors, and the caller is prepared. Each player (like the caller together with the reciter) starts writing the name, place, creature, and thing that begins with that specific alphabet. The player who has finished writing says “Stop,” The rest of the players must stop writing immediately. Points are awarded for each correct answer. This process is repeated several times. At the end of the game, the player with the number of points wins the game.
Scattegories
It’s a memory game that encourages thinking. It’s a game where objects are called with a letter. This game is played in a set of 3 rounds. Each participant needs a folder with an answering pad and three category cards in the collection. A participant shows a letter. The sequence of 20 pages starts the game. The game begins after obtaining a letter from a die. This continues for many rounds at the end of the game, and the points are calculated.
