Hello! Here I share a game in English:
First, the teacher divides the group in 4 and each one has a memorama. It is an image and above (attached with a small velcro) some words in English with its corresponding pictures. As a group they have to link the words with the drawings. For example, the image of the dog with the word "dog". As they link and they remove the words, they look the drawing behind those cards. The winner is the first group that they has looked the complete picture and also written the word of the drawing or picture on a piece of paper.

STORY CUBES
I use story cubes in order to invent a story all together. I can use the standard Rory story cubes, or build special ones with cardboard, if I want to work on a specific vocabulary (ex. Halloween, farm animals...).This activity is more suitable for reduced groups.

DEVELOPING LISTENING SKILLS

FACE MATCH – Find the face that fits

This is an online game available at the British Council webpage. It encourages students to listen carefully to match the picture (a face) with the description the listen. It is a motivating game that suits different students’ levels because children can catch the whole description or just a part of it and guess the correct face. For this reason, you can use it with second or third graders as well as fourth graders. You can check the game here:

REVISING VOCABULARY AND STRUCTURES

WHAT’S IN THE BAG- Guessing game

I have a cloth bag like the ones children use for bringing their breakfast to school. I put something inside the bag (it can be a plastic animal, a picture, a flashcard or whatever is useful according to the vocabulary or expression I want my students to revise). The game can have two versions:

-          I describe the object in the bag and children must guess what is it. They can ask me questions or use just the information I gave them. Once a student has guessed, he or she fills the bag and gives the clues.

-          I say nothing, and students ask me questions to guess what is in the bag. Once somebody guesses, he or she will be the one filling the bag and answering the questions.

This is an activity that everybody enjoys. I use it with students from grade 1 to 4.

Cori Olmos

This is a game to learn the vocabulary or review it.

I show the vocabulary flash cards one by one and students say the name in loud voice. Then I take one and I stick it facing the blackboard. I show the flash cards again and they have to guess which one is stuck on the blackboard. Then they guess I begin again with one less flashcard.

At the end of the games all the flashcards are facing the blackboard and they have to remember all the names.

He/she has to ask questions to his/her partner The partner can only answer with YES or NO.
The aim of the game it's to guess the character.

Swat the word
Swat the word is a game for building speed and confidence with identifying vocabulary. The teacher says a word, and the student has to spot the word and splat it with a fly swat. Children find the physicality of the activity fun, and they have fun while playing it. It also can be played by teams of three students, one acts as a teacher and the other two try to be the fastest to swat a word.

Swat the word is a great way of giving students the repetition they need to consolidate vocabulary while keeping them engaged.

This is a very simple game, but my school learners use to get engaged on it.
I use it to revise or practice vocabulary or grammar and it can offer many possibilities and variables.

1. As many picture/word cards as students are hidden in the classroom. Students have to find one of them and keep it. Then, you can plan different activities according to the objectives, topics you are working on, level and so on. Here are some examples:
- Say the word (vocabulary revision or practice) and show the flashcard.
- Say a sentence using that word.
- Keep the flashcard hidden and mime it. The other students have to guess it.
- Classmates ask questions in order to guess the word.

2. Pair picture and word cards, or opposites cards... are hidden and each student has to find one of them. They can't show them. Then, they need to find their pair asking questions. It can be useful to practice specific grammar structures, for example.

The same activities can be done in pairs.

SNAP!
Snap is an old cards game, but it really works with my students. It's a good game to practice vocabulary and structures related to any topic.
You can play the game in pairs or in two small groups.
There are two piles of cards: one pile with words or sentences and another pile with the pictures of this words or sentences.
The students must turn a card from each group at the same time, as many times as they need in order to find two cards that have the same meaning. They must say the name of the card when they turn it around (for example oranges, bananas, ...)
Once they find two cards with the same meaning (word or sentence and picture) turned at the same time, they must shout SNAP!
The first pupil to say Snap is the winner.
You can have the children preparing their own cards: writing words or sentences and drawing.
There can be pictures or only words.

The English Contest
First, we divide the class into two or three groups (depending on the number of children).
Previously, we have to create different proofs (pictionary, mimics, correcting sentences, spelling words, questions etc.) according to the unit we are studying.
Once the teams are done and they have named themselves, we start the competition. We give each group one point for one correct answer.
If they don't know how to answer a question or make a mistake, we give a chance to another team.
At the end, we count the points and reflect on those aspects which we consider are not consolidated enough.

How to play:

- Dived your groups up into 2 teams.

- Give out the football board game (pdf) and a paper ball.

- Pile reading cards, flash cards or what ever you're trying to review (faced down) in the centre of the table.

- The first person from each team, faces one card up and races to say the word/phrase and the fastest person gets to advance the football for their team.

- Once a team reaches the goal they get one point.

-------------------------------------------
*Or you can just use the board, simply drawing the field on it and the ball. It could be a good choice to play with bigger groups or the whole class.

Action verbs puzzle
First they have cards with different action verbs with the picture and they have to deduce the meaning of each verb. They write down as many meanings as they now.
Then, they try to do the triangle puzzle. I have paint a dot in each card with 3 different colours to help them. The blue ones are those that go in the middle of the puzzle. The the red ones and finally the green ones.

The game of "Who's missing" it's a fantastic game to warm up and practice action verbs.
Teacher puts the music on and show students that they have to dance in circle until the music stops. Then they have to lay down on the floor and close their eyes. Teacher covers one of them with a blanket and the rest of them have to say who is missing. This activity is good for the beginning of the year when students don't know the names of their classmates.
I played this game with students from the 1st grade of Primary School and they love it. Another possibility is to give to each student a word (related to fruits, animals, seasons, weather...) and instead of saying the name of the student that is missing, they say which word is missing.

I use this game to review the grammar taught during the unit. It’s a perfect revision game. I make groups and I give them ‘money’. Then I write sentences in the board, some of them are correct others incorrect. First they have to decide the amount of money they want to spend in each sentence. Then the auction starts! One spokesman say the amount of money and the others have to raise it or not! The winner is the group with the higher amount of correct sentences and if there is a draw, with the highest amount of money. This game is suitable for CS students,

Plickers is also an interactive and free tool similar to kahoot. However, teachers need the app in their mobile phone and a computer to get into the web and the game. Each student will have a personal card with four shape-sides. Each side has letters (A,B,C,D) and each letter will correspond to an answer. Students have to read the projected question and give an answer showing the correct letter to the teacher . In a minute, the answers will be scanned by the teacher's device.
Pdf cards can be download for free from the platform.
I use plickers in all the primary groups.

Kahoot.
It's a useful and interactive platform that keep students engaged. You just have to sign up for free and then you can create your quiz or survey. I often use quizzes with students. Also, students can create kahoots for playing in the classroom.
What I love about it, it's how easy the self assessment works because students have the correct answer after the seconds you have left to answer each question.
I use kahoot with primary 4, 5 and 6 .

QR code fun!
1.  Create qr codes for you students.  In each one, be imaginative and try to cater to the muliplie intelligences.  In some, like my example, you might put enigmas (mathematical/logical) or jokes in English.  In others, you can add a tongue twister (linguistic) or a hand-clapping video that they have to learn (kinestetic).  Print them out and put them around your room.  In pairs students make their way around the room at their own page (not a race). They write their answers from 1 to 10 and then at the end you give them points for the correct answers or tasks 'done'. Students of ALL ages love this activity. If they don't have their own device, they can use a few tablets from the school or from their parents for one day...

This is a useful game to revise vocabulary and practice oral skills.

One student is sitting on a chair, facing the other children and with his back to the board. The teacher writes a word in the board and the seated child has to guess it by listening the other students’ cues.

PICTIONARY
I use to play Pictionary in order to work on the new vocabulary of a unit.

Student usually enjoy this game, I use it in primary one and two, and while one pupil draws on the blackboard o whiteboard, the rest have to raise his hand in order to guess.

I make them practice grammar structures such as "Is it a/an...?", "Yes, it is. No it isn't".

I use also flashcards with pictures, and at the beginning I show the picture to the one who's drawing, because sometimes they're shy at it, or they feel insecure about how to draw the object/animal ...
