24 Steps - October 14, 2019
Paid LessonLesson Collection #2 - Lesson 15
A very active and fun board game to practice a variety of English language skills including: spelling, writing, drawing, counting, singing, answering quizzes and giving directions.
This lesson is definitely NOT for teachers who prefer a quiet classroom.
Students play this game in groups. Rolling a die, one student lands on a square and the group mates assign something for her to do. Afterward, the play advances to the next student. The winner is the one who reaches FINISH first - but to get there, she will have to perform various tasks which include:.
DRAW: (Students decide what will be drawn.)
ANSWER A (movie, music, math, history) QUIZ QUESTION: (Students create the questions.)
IMITATE: (Students decide what animal or person will be imitated.)
DRAW: (Students decide what will be drawn.)
SING A SONG: (Students decide.)
SAY: (Students decide.)
SPELL: (Students decide.) Etc.
There are several Safe squares where no task is required - but there are also many Go Back squares which give the players opportunities to re-do previously .
For all of the completed tasks, group mates judge whether or not they were done accurately. If not, the player must move his marker back one square (which may or may not be a good thing). Nevertheless, students will enjoy assigning various tasks to their fellow game players.
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Dear Kurt,

Other language-teaching resource books promise exciting, ready-to-copy activities, but these worksheets really deliver the goods.
Hi Kurt,
I just want to thank you for all your hard work on the website & the many ideas & worksheets you provide for ESL teachers all over the world.
Thanks again,
Karen G.
Dear Kurt,
Your lessons are professionally done and most of all fun!
We all find your materials more than just a fun filler even though they do liven things up.
I post each of your lessons on a teacher’s exchange board Mondays at school for the other trainers. The feedback has been nothing but praise.
Keep up the good work.

Dear Kurt,
I have been teaching English in Latvia for 5 years now to such varied student groups as Music College, military and Bible College students. I came across your site about a year ago and it has been incredibly helpful in my teaching. I have found all of my students - from the highest ranking military officer to the most ordinary school-kid - enjoy your lessons. The worksheets and the ideas are fantastic! Thank you so much for making the English teacher’s work easier, more varied and much more enjoyable!!!
