Board Games

This is a page with introductory information about how you can use the board games on esl-lounge most effectively. Go to our board games and board game templates page for the materials themselves.

Why Use Board Games

Games are a therapeutic, relaxing way for students to consolidate what they have learned in the esl classroom.

As well as being a good 'final five minutes' activity, they are useful in their own right as they provide a challenging, fun respite from other activities.

On the pages which deal with the six main levels within esl-lounge, you will find many different types of games. Here, specifically, you will find a collection of board games designed to be played either as an entire class or at least in groups of four to eight.

If games are used well and not just as a time killer, they can be very effective.
