我们一起玩着学英语！

在课上触发学生表现欲的关键其实就是将游戏、或是任何竞争性质的活动融入教学。Penny Ur（全球知名ELT作者、教育学专家，著有A Course in English Language Teaching等多部畅销教学指导用书）曾说过：把教学交际化，有时甚至是游戏化。

多数老师倾向以游戏作为课堂开始或结尾，不过下面提到的这些妙招其实可以用在课堂的任何时间！

Snowball Writing

Rolling Questions

If you want to get students chatting, particularly adolescent learners, it can sometimes be quite difficult to motivate them to converse naturally in English.  One idea that I have used before in the past is to get a set of six-sided dice for small groups of students, prepare six questions prior to the lesson and write them up on the whiteboard.  Learners then roll a dice and the corresponding question is then asked.  You could change this activity slightly by getting students to un-jumble questions or to speak about a topic for as long as possible.  It is a great activity to promote speaking and enhance fluency and it requires very little preparation.

Hangman

You choose some words that you would like to introduce at the start of class, otherwise you could choose a number of words to review at the end of the lesson.  Write them on a piece of paper and make a note of the number of letters in a word.  For example, “helicopter” has 10 letters in it.  Keep a note to the number of letters in each word that you would like to use in the hangman game as this is important.
