Need to engage students in speaking? These 2 board games are designed for beginner secondary & adult ELL students, featuring real-life images, structured speaking stems, and foundational English vocabulary so beginner and newcomer MLLs can begin developing speaking output.
You get TWO vocabulary board games that:
➡️focus on grammar: it is affirmative & they are affirmative
➡️reinforce vocabulary: classroom items
Students reinforce necessary vocabulary while practicing language accurately in a low-stress, engaging format.
Of course, it is fun and games, but students will also:
✔ practice vocabulary while speaking in complete sentences
✔ reinforce targeted grammar concepts through repetition and play
✔ use structured speaking stems for supported conversation
✔ role play and ask questions with classmates
✔ build fluency through repeated comprehensible output
Included in this resource:
➡️ 2 print and go vocabulary board games with real-life images
➡️ printable student-created game tokens
➡️ printable classroom item tokens for added fun
➡️ print-and-go die template
➡️ speaking stems to support beginner language production
And what do I love the most? These games are:
✔ print-and-go on standard paper
✔ lamination-friendly for repeated classroom use
✔ perfect for newcomer classrooms and differentiated groups
