The ebook has five main sections covering icebreakers, fillers, classic ESL games, quiz games and spelling games, as below:

Icebreakers

The first section contains games that help learners in a new class get to know each other and relax. Many involve information gaps or information exchanges from which they can learn about each other. The games help to create a fun, non-threatening atmosphere that encourages students to feel comfortable in their new class.

Fillers

As the name suggests, you can use these games whenever you find yourself unexpectedly faced with a few minutes to fill during a class. This can occur when waiting for latecomers, when a lesson has to be put on hold some reason, or when a lesson has finished a little early. The games require no preparation, are easy to explain and organize, and are flexible enough to keep your students happily occupied for as long as necessary.

Classic ESL Games

The games in this section have been used in classrooms for so long that they’re often referred to as “classic ESL games”, and many teachers would consider their “box of tricks” incomplete without them. They include Hot Seat, Coffee Pot, Telephone (or Chinese Whispers), Word-O Bingo, and the most classic of them all, Twenty Questions.

Quiz Games

Most of us enjoy having our knowledge tested in quiz games, and classroom quiz games are a big hit with learners. In this section you’ll find games in which general knowledge is tested, as well as games in which various aspects of English are tested, including a wide range of vocabulary and phrasal verbs. Graded sets of quiz questions for all the games are provided.

Spelling Games

Spelling bees have long been a part of life for native English-speaking students in schools throughout the English-speaking world, and they’re now becoming part of the TOEFL world as well. The games in this section include spelling quizzes for teams and individuals. Graded word lists are provided.

    Excellent tool. However there were just a couple of topics that need revising around political correctness

  8. Ellaine Malan (verified owner)

    Excellent tool, however I’d like to see a compilation for C1-C2 students as well. I can certainly recommend this book. Well done.

    I am a private teacher to Italian children and I LOVE to use this book whenever my students don’t have homework; this book is the best way to get them engaged like we do in real ESL schools. That’s why I thoroughly recommend it .
