What are the interesting English classroom mini games?

1. Word Solitaire

Purpose: To train students' reaction speed and review the vocabulary they have learned.

Rules:

1. Students stand side by side in groups of four at the front of the classroom, and the teacher starts by saying the first word. (If the teacher says: "Magic banana." then the students start associating with banana.)

2. Student A thinks of a new word based on the previous word and says it quickly. (e.g., Student A follows the teacher and says, "Banana makes me think of fruit.") Student B continues with Student A, and so on. (e.g. Fruit makes me think of vegetables.)

3. Once a student gets stuck, says the wrong word, or repeats a word that was said before, that student is out. The student who stays to the end wins.

2. Topic word brainstorming

Purpose: To conduct brainstorming activities to activate students' vocabulary of related topics and build vocabulary schema.

Rules:

1. Divide the class into groups (3-6 groups is suitable), propose a certain topic, and give the students 2 minutes to think about the vocabulary under this topic. (e.g., car, bicycle, scooter, coach, etc. under MEANS OF TRANSPORT)

2. Each group takes a turn to say a word, and the teacher writes the word on the blackboard. If one of the groups can't come up with a new word, they are out. The group that lasts until the end wins.

3.Guessing Words

Purpose: To deepen students' understanding and memorization of vocabulary by using TPR or paraphrase form.

Rules:

1. Students play the game in groups of two. Each group is given a box of word cards (can be purchased or homemade).

2. Student A draws a word card and describes the meaning of the word in the card in English, but the word must not appear in the description, and student B guesses the word according to the other's description. If the guess is correct, Student B gets the card.

3. Compete in groups within the time limit. The group that guesses the most words correctly wins.

4. Listening Sentence Relay

Purpose: To train English listening and short-term memory.

Rules:

1. The whole class is arranged according to the seating arrangement. The teacher calls the first student in each group outside the classroom and says a sentence to them. Ask the students to memorize it.

2. Each student returns to his seat and whispers the statement he has just heard to the second student in each group, who then whispers it to the third student, and so on. Note that once the sentence has been passed on to the next student, it cannot be repeated to the previous student.

3. The last student writes the sentence heard on the board (or on a piece of paper). The first group to write the correct sentence scores points.

5. Sentence Conversion (Direct Quotation to Indirect Quotation)

Purpose: Specific sentence drills to test students' mastery.
