I use quizlet and wordwall. I think it's very important to use games in order to motivate the pupils. Furthermore, using games makes the pupils be more involved and enthusiastic through learning . In addition, it cause them to wait for the next lesson and to go over the words at home for being part of the next activities]]> 2021-08-18 09:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/1uoeaui6728ay5rf/wish/1683837206 Revital Yunker revitalyunker https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/1uoeaui6728ay5rf/wish/1684655907 In order to teach new words and make sure that the pupils internalize them I use all kinds of games in my lesson such as: memory games, Lotto, pantomime, wordsearch, crossword puzzles, digital games on the computer (Kahoot, Quizlet…). We also have one lesson a week with each class in which the children prepare games using the PBL method.  In this lesson the children explore a particular topic on their own, learn it and teach the rest of the class by preparing a creative game.

It is the basis for the development of all the other skills like Reading comprehension, Listening comprehension, speaking, writing, spelling, and pronunciation.
Using modern technology can make vocabulary learning more enjoyable and more relevant to students today.
Teachers should think about different types of activities that will accommodate learners of all abilities.
In our lessons, we use visual tools and a variety of digital tools such as: "Liveworksheets", "Wizerme", "Quizlet", "Padlet", "Kahoot", "Cram", "ISL-Collective", "Wordwall", "Google Slides",etc. 
Additionally, we use box games and encourage pupils to make their own vocabulary games and play them in groups in class.

For example- after teaching verbs\ preposition adjectives of place\ adjectives etc.. 
Each time 4-5 students come to the board and when I say \ dance\ drink jump etc they have to act according to the verb, same with preposition and adjectives- they love it.

There are many ways and methods, and one of them, in my opinion, is using games in our lessons. Games motivate our students to learn a target language in a fun learning atmosphere. In my lessons I like to use different kinds of games to learn and practice new vocabulary . While playing games, students' attention is on the game (message) and not on the language. When the weather is good I take my students outside and we play outdoor games, verb actions, ball games, sing and act out, go hunt, etc.]]> 2021-08-21 15:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/1uoeaui6728ay5rf/wish/1689014439 Iris Saidof saidofiris https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/1uoeaui6728ay5rf/wish/1690928589 I use games to practice and review vocabulary. When I teach brand new words I take the time to establish the meaning-form-pronunciation-spelling of the words. After this basic step, we can start play with the words. 
First game can be matching words in Quizlet. Afterwards we can do Quizlet live, Kahoot, flashcards to act upon or form sentences with. I like to review vocabulary with a ball. In small groups we play wordwall etc. 
Games vary the learning, engage almost all the children and makes the learning more enjoyable.]]> 2021-08-23 11:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/1uoeaui6728ay5rf/wish/1690928589 Dafna Dorevitch dafidafnid https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/1uoeaui6728ay5rf/wish/1696128897 I do use games in my class while teaching vocabulary. First, it increases the kids' interest and motivation. Second, it is fun. Third, it's a great way of drilling and practicing new words, especially because learning a foreign language isn't easy for everyone. I usually combine games with the digital platforms I use (which basically replace games with flash cards), and I also use "Wordwall" from time to time, and Quizlet many times. (The games are used both in the teaching stage and later in the drilling stage). Gamification has become very popular in recent years, and I highly recommend every teacher to combine games in their lessons.

Sometimes the game takes more time then a few minutes so I use the game and the pupils' motivation, cooparation and enthusiasm to teach new words. I believe that games help pupils even the weak ones to open up, speak English and feel good about themselves. It doesn't feel like teaching for them. They wait for the lessons and for the games I use. They show respect for the culture of English and how to play without shouting the answer, they listen to one another. They practice English in fun and relaxing way. ]]> 2021-08-27 16:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/1uoeaui6728ay5rf/wish/1701109518 Orit Arad & Anat Soltz https://padlet.com/lnlearnonet/1uoeaui6728ay5rf/wish/1701264826 As English teachers in  elementary school we are very aware of the importance of teaching the language with games. The pupils are highly motivated and find the games challenging and inspiring. When we want to teach new vocabulary, we always make sure to include games in our lesson plans. In todays reality, we use technological games such as: Quizlet, Kahoot, Nearpod etc. In addition, we also play the “traditional games”. For example, “I spy”, memory games, “Simon says” etc. We find the pupils are excited whenever we mention a game and they even tend to ask for games.

I use games in my teaching on a regular basis. I introduce and teach the new words via physical flashcards using games to reinforce the learning. Then, we practice and review the words through various games each and every lesson using the flashcards and many other digital tools. We celebrate the words at the end of each unit through a lesson of games. We like to play ball games, tic-tac-toe, bingo, wordwall, hangman, find the smiley, memory game, spelling games, kahoot, quizlet and so on. Sometimes, they prapare the games by themselves.
