  2. 1. What is the Value of using games in the classroom? • A- Games are a welcome break from the usual routine of the language class. • B- They are motivating and challenging. • C- Learning a language requires a great deal of effort. Games help students to make and sustain the effort of learning. • D- Games provide language practice in the various skills- speaking, writing, listening and reading. • E- They encourage students to interact and communicate. • F- They create a meaningful context for language use.

  3. 2. Why Do We Use Games in Class? • * Games are fun and children like to play them. Through games children experiment, discover, and interact with their environment. • * The game context makes the foreign language immediately useful to the children. It brings the target language to life. • * The game makes the reasons for speaking plausible even to reluctant children. • * Through playing games, students can learn English the way children learn their mother tongue without being aware they are studying.

  4. 3. How to Choose Games? • ● A game must be more than just fun. • ● A game should involve "friendly" competition. • ● A game should keep all of the students involved and interested. • ● A game should encourage students to focus on the use of language rather than on the language itself. • ● A game should give students a chance to learn, practice, or review specific language material.
