My Project

Research shows that games are an effective learning tool to increase both interest and motivation in the classroom. My English language learners enjoy working together collaboratively, and games are an excellent way to enhance language fluency. The board games I've selected for this project will encourage students to communicate using English while acquiring new vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Help second language learners achieve fluency in English with food, fun, and fellowship!

At least one day each week, my classes complete work in small groups via instructional stations, and a board game/puzzle station will be a great addition to our rotation. Not only will the students be practicing their English, but they will also be developing relationships in a positive and supportive environment. We will use the candy and snacks to further enhance learning as students work together within their small group. Thank you for your help in making this a reality in my classroom.

Grades 9-12
