Here I am once again with another downloadable card game. This time we have some cards to practice conjunctions. I call this game Conjunction Junction, named after the classic Schoolhouse Rock song. The game consists of many clause cards and conjunction cards. The basic way to play this game is to hand out the clause […]
Long time, no see! I am very excited to be back creating new games and new ideas for ESL teachers to use. Today’s game is based on an old favorite of mine, Clue (aka Cluedo, for any readers in the UK). Instead of trying to find a murderer – the players are trying to figure […]
When I taught in Korea, I was working in a small hagwon (cram school) in Yangsan city. The hagwon was really nice, and I loved my classroom; but sometimes I just had to get out of there. Also, many of my students spend the majority of the day indoors. When they aren’t studying in school, […]
Have you ever heard of the game Hullabaloo? It’s from the same makers of Cranium and it’s a lot of fun for very young children. The game consists of differently colored/shaped pads placed on the floor that the children are told to move to according to audio instructions. So they would hear things like “Spin […]
Do you remember the game, Guess Who? It’s a really fun game where each person is given a lot of named faces. They each pick one face to think of and then take turns asking yes/no questions about the other person’s chosen face. After awhile of narrowing the potential faces down, one player will finally […]
Being an ESL teacher is hard work, and coming up with new and interesting ways for your students to learn can be tiring. Sometimes, it’s great to just take out something you can trust to keep them busy and practicing – that will hopefully also give you time to just breathe a little. These worksheets […]
I have/who has is a great game to really drill vocabulary into the minds of your students. It’s also really simple to set up and play. All you need is one of the many card decks I’ve linked at the end of the article. Deal the cards to the students and have them sit in […]
Picture/Adjective Card is a game I created after attempting to make a DIY Dix-It. It ended up feeling more like Apples to Apples. Actually, it plays a lot like my other game, Sentence Filler. Still, it’s a really fun game that my kids enjoy and ask to play quite often. When I first started playing […]
Boy, do I have a bunch of downloads for you today! I originally created these cards for the game Signal, but I’ve since realized you can probably use them for other popular card games as well. As you can see, each deck has 52 cards organized into the four suits (plus two “joker” cards). Instead […]
One of the stand out party games of my college years is Cards Against Humanity. It stands out for being ridiculously full of pop culture references, dirty jokes, and silly puns – and it’s so easy to play at all levels of inebriation. I must have played that game at over 50 different parties/social gatherings. […]
