I believe that it is essential for every English language teacher to have their own warm-ups, timesavers, fun games and more for many reasons. Sometimes doing the same routine in class may cause learners to be distracted and bored. Some may not agree with this but I am deeply of the opinion that every teacher has their talent and that they can turn their lessons into heaven by planning their classes properly and assuring to add the fun part to them. It's proven that any teacher who makes a subject lovable, possible to learn, positive in spirit and adds the fun part, learners acquire more of what's presented and practiced. Lessons become more memorable and thus paving the path for great achievements. Here are 102 classroom games every English teacher can add to their bag of tricks. These games are adaptable and designed for all ages and levels of language.
