好用的英语教学游戏心得 Afterthought on the Book Useful English Teaching Games In May, I read a book named Useful English Teaching Games, from which I gained a lot in connection with the teaching games in primary English subject. This book principally introduces various, abundant and useful English games. The games can make students learn English happily and help them grasp the knowledge deeper, enhancing the teaching effect. Here I keep track of the following impressive English games I think the best. First and foremost, Balloon Game. This game is like the Chinese drum game. As the drum tums, the gamers will pass the flower to the person next to him or her. To use this game in English classes, teachers can assign a task for the whole class, students practice certain sentence patterns. One asks another, the other answers and asks the next one, the next one answers and asks. For example, A: Whats your favourite food? B: My favourite food is cabbage. Whats your favourite food? C: My favourite food is cabbage. Whats your favourite food? . In this way, teacher can better see whether most students grasp the sentence patterns. The students can also better remember the sentence patterns through speaking. Its a win-win result. Secondly, Bomb Game. It is a good suitable game to review the words and vocabulary in English. Teachers prepare a set of flashcards and some flashcards sticked with a bomb. The teacher holds the flashcards one by one for students to read aloud. If the students see a flashcard with a bomb on it, they should not read it, rather, they should keep silent and hide their heads as soon as they see the card on the desk. Whoever says the word gets killed and can no longer join the game. Others continue the game until there exists the only survivor. This is a interesting game, students can consolidate their knowledge and get happiness from it. Thirdly, Angry Eating. It is similar to the saying “a close rapport”. When we learn such expression adjectives or action words in English, we can use such a game. This game demands the teacher to first a word card, a student to show different facial expressions or body language according to the meaning of the card, the other students guess the corresponding English word. There are such kinds of words like angry, afraid, happy, surprised, sleepy, eating, drinking, dancing cleaning, jumping, running, swimming and so on. This is also a kind of TPR teaching methods. The actions can better help students learn the English words. Furthermore, Blind Robot. Blindfold one of the students, the teacher give orders, the students must act pursuant to the orders. To take an example, turn left, turn right, go straight, turn around and go across, north, south, east, west, up, down and so on. If the student make mistakes, he or she will be punished. Students should know the right direction and grasp the corresponding English directional words to own to it. The last but not least, Buzz. When we learn cardinal and ordinal numbers, days of a week, months or alphabet, we can adopt this game. In Grade three, when students learn alphabet, the teacher can let all the students in a class say the alphabets one by one: a, b, c, d, e, f, g. and set a goal: When it is your turn to say “g and z”, the students should not say the alphabet, instead, they should say “buzz”. In Grade four, Students say the numbers one by one: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine, ten. The teacher set a rule: all of the student should not say “six” when it is your turn to say it, instead, you should say “buzz”. If you say “six”, then you are out of the game. In Grade five, When students learn ordinal numbers, the teacher can set a rule: All of the students should not read sixth, sixteenth, sixtieth. When students learn the numbers from one to fifty, the teacher can set a rule: All of the students should say decimal numbers like “ten, twenty, thirty, forty and fifty. When students learn the words such as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the teacher can replace “Monday” with “Buzz”, because Monday is relatively easier to grasp. When students learn the words January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December, the teacher can set a rule: All students should not say March and May, which are the easiest words in the month words. Such a game increases the difficulties for students to finish. In the process, the students can grasp the knowledge without notice and with happiness and passion. As English teachers, we get out our ways to figure out some ways to increase the students i
