Young learners love games! They enjoy playing even for 5 or 10 minutes. So, why not use these games as a way to teach vocabulary, grammar, expressions, speaking, writing, etc?
I use charades as a way to teach new vocabulary in class. By the end of the day students learn the new words in class. Besides that, students pay more attention when i am explaining the new vocabulary. They don’t want to lose the game!
