1 About games
A game is an activit-v u'ith rules, a goal and an element
of fun. There are tu'o kinds of games: contpetitit'i games.
in which pia-vers or teams race to be the first to reach
the goal, and cooperatizrd gamesi in rvhich plavers or
teams work together towards a common goal.
Language gamcs can be divided into t\'\:o firrther
games.
categories: lirtguisticgames and contrtttnticdtit:c
In linguistic games, the goal of the game is linguistic
accuracJr:in the case of these grammar games, using thr-
correct grammmatical forms. Con]muntcatir,e gatnes
havc a goal or aim that is not linguistic: succcssful
completion of the gan-reinvolves carrf ing out a task such
as exchanging information, filling in a picture or chart,
or finding trvo matching cards, rather than the correct
production of language. Hou'ever, in order to carry out
this task it w,ill be neccssar\r to use language and, b1"
careful construction of the task, it is possible to specifl
in advance what language ll'ill be required.
Games can be used at an-v-stage of the iesson once the
target language has been introduced and explained. Thcl'
serve both as a memor-v aid and repetition drill, and as a
chance to use language freely and as a means to an end
rather than an end in itself. Thev can aiso serve as a
diagnostic tool for the teacher, n'ho can note areas of
difficulty and take appropriate remedial action.
2 About grammar
How do students acquire grammatical understanding and
'\ilith
accurac-v? difficult-v' is a short answer, but it seems
to me that students adopt tu'o main approaches (u'ith,
ofcourse, all sorts ofvariants and hybrids in between).
There are the anal-vstsand the absorbers -'those who like
to dissect ianguage into little pieces to understand how
it is made, and those who slvaliou'it u'hole in enormous
gulps without worr.ving too much about the recipe.
Different t.vpes of grammar practice c-xcrcisesreflect
these two sq'les of learning. Some, like gap-fi1ling, multiple
choice or u'ord-order exercises,help students
understand and practise grammatical fbrms b-vgeming
them to segment language and anal.vseits components.
Other exercises, like grammar drills, i.vork by presenting
students with grammatical patterns to repcat and
imitate, to help them absorb the language without pausing
for too long to analvse it. Some of the games in this book
function more like thc first t.vpe of practice exerctse,
some more like the second.

3 About this book
The games in this book have been designed to practise
grammar, not to introduce or explain it. This book assumes
that the class has already met each grammar point, and
that it has been explained in the textbook or course that
they are following. The games are to be used as practice
exercises to help students get used to and remember
grammatical rules and patterns. They arc designcd as fun
activities to help lighten the load of grammar learning.
It is up to you, the teacher, to decide when and ho'uv
to use them, but one suggestion is as light relief at the
end of a lesson n'hich has fcrcused on grammar, or after
a session doing more traditional, perhaps written,
gramrrlar exercises.
Types of game
'choice'
Some games in the book are what could be called
games. These tend to be more anal.vtic,based on the
conscious application of a grammar rule. In them the
players have to choose the correct linguistic form, rather
as in traditional grammar exercise types such as gap-
filling, sentence completion, multiple choice, etc. The
difference here is not only that they are in game format,
u,hich means they are more fun and lighter-hearted, but
also that in most cases there is a context for the game,
whereas most grammar exercises are a collection of
unrelated sentences. The context is ver-v often the
students' own experiences, tastes and preferences since I
believe that a personal eiement gives emotional colour to
an exercise and this is a valuable memory aid - if you
have invested something of yourself in an exercise you
are less likely to forget it. (Besides which, it's fun!)
'fhese 'choice' game
are the types of in the book:
matching: e.g. matching two '"vords or phrases, matching
half-sentences or matching r','ords and pictures
Jinding: e.g. finding missing words or finding other words
to make a sentence
sorting: e.g. sorting or phrases into categories
"vords
ordering: e.g. ordcring r.vords to make a sentence
collcctittg:e.g. collecting words of a kind, collecting words
that collocate, collecting words to make a sentence
contpleting:completing incomplete sentences or questions
contpetitions:e.g. see how manSrsentences you can make,
how quickly you can unmuddle sentences
card gantesand other familiar game types: e.g. lotto, bingo,
Pelmanism, happy families, consequences, board games
 'reinforcement'
Other games, rvhich could be callcd
games, ',vork more like substitution drills or pattern
practice, getting students to internalise rules b-v repcating
patterns. These games are designed not only to provide
intensive repetition of a grammatical structure or structures)
but to provide a meaningful context and, since these are
gamcs not drills, the repetition has a purpose: studcnts
are working towards u'inning or completing the game.
'reinforcement' game in the book:
These are the qpes of
informatktn gap gdntes: Player t has access to some
information not held b1, Pla.ver 2. P1a-ver2 must acqulrc
this information to complete a task successfully. This typc
of game may be one-sided, or reciprocal (where both
plaSrershave information that they must pool to solve a
common problem). The gamcs may be played in pairs'
or in small groups (ivherc al1 members of the group have
some information).
gttessingganrcs: a familiar variant on this principle. The
player r,r,iththe information deliberately u'ithholds it,
while others guess r"'hat it might be.
searchgantes: another variant, involving the
"vhole
class.
In these games e\reryonein the class has one piece of
information. Players must obtain a1l or a large amount of
the information available to fi11in a chart or picture or
to solve a problem. Each student is thus simultaneously
a giver and a collector of information.
matching gdnus: these may aiso involve a transfer of
information. They involve matching corresponding pairs
of cards or pictures, and may be played as a whole-class
activity, where everyone must circulate until the-v find a
partner rvidr a corresponding card or picture, or a pairu'ork
or small-group activit-v, played as a card game on the

exchange for others. The aim of the game is to make an
exchange that is satisfactory to both sides.
exchanging and collectingganes: an extension of this.

Al1 the above activities may include elements of role-
pla1, or of simulation. In role-pla-v games, players are
given the name and some characteristics of a fictional
character. These are not role-plays in the true sense,
as the role-pla-v element is aill-ays subordinate to the use
'closed': once
of language. The outcome of a game is

way, while role-pla-v proper is open-ended and may develop
in any number of rval's.
4 Practicalconsiderations
Classroom management
There are three main types of activity in this book:
pairwork, invcll"'ing two partners; sma11-groupwork,
involving groups of three or four or morc; and whole-
class activities, u'here everyone moves freely around the
room. All these activities require some flexibility in the
constitution of groups and organisation of the classroom.
It is best to have the desks or tables in a U-shape if
possible. Students can then u'ork u'ith the person sitting
next to thcm for pair'*'ork, and groups of threes and fours
can easilv be formed b.v alternate pairs moving their chairs
to the inner side of the U, opposite another pair. Whole-
class activitics, u,hich involve all the students circulating
freely, can take place in the empty area in the centre of
the U-shape. If it is not possible to arrange desks in this
way, this need not deter you: the traditional arrangement
of front-facing desks can be easily adapted to pairwork,
with people at adjoining desks working together, while
small groups can be formed b-v t'uvopeople turning their
chairs round to face the people behind them. \fihole-class
activities present a little more of a problem, but often
there is a space big enough for the students to move
around in at the front ofthe class, or desks can be pushed
back to clcar a space in the centre.
Sometimes an alternative small-group version of the
whole-class games in this book has been provided, so that
teachers who experience a great deal of difficulty with
the kind of games that require students to move around
can play these games in a more static format.
Games are best set up by demonstration rather than
by lengthy explanation. The teacher should explain briefly
what the game involves, hand out the photocopied cards,
make sure students have pen and paper if needcd, give
*rem a little time to study the cards, and then demonstrate
the game with one of the students in front of the class.
It will be found that the idca of the game is probably
easier for studcnts to grasp from seeing the cards than
from a verbal explanation, and that as they become more
familiar with the idea of the games and the techniques
used, any initiai problems caused by unfamiliarity lt'ill
quickly disappear. Where more complicated card games
are pla-ved in small groups, a Rules sheet is provided at
the back of the book and it is suggestedthat teachers
hand out a photocop-v of this to each group of students,
together u'ith the cards. Thesc games are indicated in the
'l.
Teacher's notes r'r,ith the s-vmbol Fr-LEasHrr-r-ir_
The teacher's rolc in all these activities is that of
monitor and resource centre, moving trom group to group,
listening, suppllting any necessary language, notlng errors!
but not interrupting or correcting as this impedes fluency
and spoils thc atmosphere. It is a good idea to carry paper
and pen and to notc anlr persistc-ntcrrors or areas of
difficulty. These can thcn be dealt rvith in a feedback
sessionafter thc game. In manv casesthe game could
then be played again r.vith different partners or with
difterent cards.

llerage icngth of time for the games in the book
is about 15 to 20 minutes.

 management
Resource
The resources required for each game fall into two
categories: reusable and disposable. \Where a very small
number of photocopies are needed for a whole-class
game or where students may write on their cards, it is
best to treat these photocopies as disposable, and there
is no point in collecting up the photocopies in order to
use them with another class when the game is finished.
In contrast, some of the games require a larger number
of copies and an investment of the teacher's time in accurate
copying, cutting up and sorting, so it is worthwhile
thinking of these materials as reusable resources and
investing some time in making the photocopies into a
permanent class set of materials. If you have the time
and resources, obviously printing or pasting the materials
onto card or laminating them would help preserve their
shelf-life. Flowever, this isn't absolutely necessary I have
sets of games materials printed only onto paper that have
done their duty in workshops all over the world and aren't
much the worse for wear after several years.
\i{4rat is more important is providing a system to
prevent the materials getting lost and disorganised. If you
have a class set of ten packs of cards, for example, it is
worth putting each pack into an envelope clearly labelled
with the name of the game and the number of cards.
It is then the students' responsibility to collect up all the
cards at the end of the game, check that they are all there,
put them back into the envelope and hand them back to
you. If two packs of cards are required for a game, keep
them in two smaller envelopes inside the big one, and
get the students to sort them back into their respective
envelopes at the end of the game.
Finally, if you have no access to copying facilities at
all, it is possible, though time-consuming, to make
home-made versions of the materials by getting the
students to work with you to draw and write the cards.

. The object of this part of the garne is to find
matching pairs of rasr and pnrsent verbs.
. If a player turns up two cards which have the past and
present form of the same verb on them, e.g. begin and
began, she can pair the cards and collect them.

. Ask them to put these face down in a pile in the centre
of the table.
. Ask them to take the vERB ivATCH cards and separate
them so that only the IAST forms are left.
. Check that students have all the PASTcards. Ask them
to deal out the pasr- cards equally to all players.
. Players may look at their cards.
. The object of the garne is to rnatch pictures and
verbs, and to rnake a sentence, using the past
sirnple, describing the picture.
. Player I begins. He takes a card from the pile of
ACTIoN IICTURES and lays it face up on the table so
that the other players can see it.
. A11the players must try to match the correct verb to the
picture and to make a sentence in the past, e.g. for the
picture of a girl dropping a cup and breaking it, a student
'Sfte
must produce the card broke and say broke the cup.'
The first to do this may collect the RcltoN PICTURE
card and put her vERB MATCH (tasr) card on the
discard pile.
. The player with most ACTIoN PICTUREcards at the
end is the winner.
Variation
. \ilfhenthe studentsarefamiliarwith the pastforms,
this game can be played without the vERB MATCH
(lasr) cards: students turn up an ACTIoN PICTURE
from the piie and the first one to describe it correctiy
gets the card.

cuLPzuT CARD. If the group is smaller than 10, some
students will need to take two (or more) cards.
. The object of the garne is for each group to work
out who did what.
. There is one snag - they are only allowed to deny
actions; they cannot make positive statements nor ask
any questions. Ted, for example, can say'I didn't
smash the windou.' or'I didn't burn the curtains.'but
'I
not broke the plant pot.' (They must tell the truth
though - Ted can't say'I didn't break the plant pot.')
. It is up to each group to work out how to solve ttre puzzle.
. The group that solves the puzzle first are the winners.

until thei/ find the rest of their family, by asking, for
'Are yott in the Brozan
example, family?' and answerlng
'Yes,I ant. I'nt Mrs Brown.' or ',No, I'tt not.'

. When they have grouped into their families, they should

then find out what the others in their family are planning
to do, by asking'IV/hat areyou going to do this evening?'
'I'ttt going to play m! drums.'
and answering, for exampl e,
. S7arn them there will be a conflict! Give them a few
'Ato, you're not going to play your
minutes to argue, e.g.
'Oh
drunts becauseI'nt going to haxe a dinner party!' no
you're not going to haae a dinner Part! [s.tttt. I'm going
to painr the dining room this exening!'

Part 2
. Regroupthem into groupsof 3 like this: askall the
'Browns' to put up their hands and give them a number
'Blacks'
each, counting from l Do the same with the
'Greens'.
and the
. Then ask'all the ls'to sit at a certain table, a1lthe 2s
at another and so on, until the whole class is sitting in
groups of 3. In each group of 3 there should be one
person from each family. If the number of students is
not divisible by three, add the extra students to other
groups, e.g. if you have 14 students you will have 2
'ieft over'. Add one to each of two other groups
students
so you have two groups of 3 and two groups of 4. In the
groups of 4 there will be 2 people from the same famiiy.
Try to ensure these are different family members!
. Ask them to tell the others about their famiiy
argument. For example,'My ntum thinks she'sgoing to
zuatchEastEttders, but she's wrottg becattseI'm going to
watch a aideo!'
. Then see if they can offer the other families in their
group some advice. Can they solve the problem so that
everyone gets what they want? For example,'Tbll your
Mum's friends they can come to dinner, but you're all
going to paint the dining room first!'

. Regroup students in their original 'families' and get

them to tr1, to find a solution.
. Ask 'families' to report back on any solutions. For
'Well, I'rn going to watch the aideo after Mum's
example,
TV progranmte and Susie isn't going to haae a party.
She'sgoing to inz;ite her friends to Llatch the ztideo too.
And Dad is still going to bed earlY!'
