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,
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.
Margaret Ann Doty - EFL Trainer
I have been using these fun EFL4U lessons since the site began many years ago! Apart from making my life easier where time is concerned, the lessons are really well prepared, educational, fun to use and my students love them!
Well done, Kurt!

Dear Kurt,
Your EFL4U activities are honestly among the very best that I’ve discovered on the web. They are consistently imaginative, high quality and engaging. The students are motivated and the classes are lively.
Sherry Maisey - ESL instructor
Other language-teaching resource books promise exciting, ready-to-copy activities, but these worksheets really deliver the goods.
Dear Kurt,
Feel free to quote me on this! I have found your lessons to be the most useful of all that I have found on the Net! The teacher’s guidance makes presenting the lessons a doddle and the students’ pages are fun, varied, stimulating, exciting and always of interest to my students.
I am a freelance EFL teacher and the students vary from Austrian teenagers, on school trips to London, to adults at a language centre. Your lessons are especially useful for the latter group as I often get called upon to cover a class at the last minute!
Keep the lessons coming please, Kurt - and many, many thanks!
Toni
