For any ESL teachers, I need some good games for children and young teens to play and learn by. Any suggestion

Answer 1

In special education, I always had my kids playing yahtzee or uno (for the lower ability ones). Over the years I also had Racko (number ordering/strategy/problem solving) and some pizza (different toppings/identifying 1/3, 1/4, delivery etc) inspired fraction games. I also taught them to play solitaire, go fish, and 21 with a pack of cards.

There's also a Who am I? game. There are say thirty little people that pop up..some old/young, male/female, blue/red bow, fat/thin, striped/solid shirt. One player states by asking a yes/no question - Is it a male? No. So you would put all the male pictures down. Then it's the person's turn to ask a question.

I don't know if it's available in your area yet, but check out DonorsChoose.org You can post a wish list for these games or other supplies and a donor can choose to fund your proposal. You pay nothing and the learning materials are shipped to your school. They are the best!

Answer 2

Hopscotch? They have to call out the number when they land on it?

War - the card game. They have to call out the number when they see the card.

Trivial pursuit.
