One of the main benefits of learning a language through games is improved interaction. Games require players to engage and communicate with others in a meaningful context. They promote real-time language use, allowing learners to practise vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation in a natural and stress-free environment.
Our students have been playing ‘Memory and Snap’ games to boost students' vocabulary retention, reinforce word associations and improve concentration, all while fostering quick recall and friendly competition.
Year 2 and 5 students learned to describe people. Playing ‘Guess Who?’ helped students practise descriptive vocabulary, improve questioning skills and develop conversational fluency in an engaging and interactive way.
Year 3 students have been learning to talk about weekend plans. Playing ‘Hobbies Dice Bingo’ helped students practise future tense structures and vocabulary related to hobbies while improving speaking skills.
