1 About games A game is an activity u'ith rules, a goal and an clemenr of fun. There are two kinds of games: contpetitiucgames, in which players or teams race to be the first to reach the goal, and cooperatixegames, in r.vhich plavers or teams work together torvards a common goal. Languagc games can be divided into twc'rfurther categories: ling uistic games and c ttr.unttutic cttiztegames. In linguistic gamesJ the goal of the game is linguistic accuracy: in the case of these gramrnar games, using the correct grammmatical forms. Commun.icative games havc a goal or aim that is not linguistic: successfulcompletion of the game wili involr'e solving a pwzz.leor completing a picture. However, in order to carry out this task it will be necessarl, to use language and by careful construction of the task it is possible to restrict the language to certaln grammatical structures and to ensurc that these are practised intensivel-v. In this book, there is a continuurn betu'een games requiring strict linguistic accuracv at one end of the scale and freer communicatir.c games at the other. In what I have called accurac\.)games, there is only one right answerJe.g. only one possible match tbr a pair of cards or only one right u'ord to fill a blank. ln production games) the piayers have more lee'uva-v to invent and create. For example, there is more than one possiblc match for pairs of cards, or players may be asked to complete sentence frames in any u'ay their cxperience or irnagination dictates. Contrrttuticatioil games have a freer structure where players mav use a range of language, including the target language, to reach their goal. Games can be used at any stage of thc lesson once the target language has been introduced and explained. They serve both as a memory aid and repetition drill and as a chance to use language freely, as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. They can also serve as a diagnostic tool for the teacher, who can note areas of difficulty and take appropriate remedial actlon.

2 About grammar How do students acquire grammatical understanding and '\fith accuracy? difficultl" is a short answer, but it scems to me that students adopt two main approaches 1r.l'ith, ofcourse, all sorts ofvariants and hybrids in betn'een1. There are the analysts and thc absorbers those like "vho to dissect language into little pieces to understand how it is made, and those r.l'ho sr.vallowit rvhole in enormous guips without worrying too much about the recipe. Different t.vpes of grammar practice exercises reflect these two sryles of learning. Some, like gap-fi1ling, multiple choice or word-order exercises, help students understand and practise grammatical forms by getting them to segment

language and anal-vscits components. Other exercises.like gramrnar drills, work by presenting students with grammaticai patterns to repeat and imitate, to help students absorb the langr,ragewithout pausing fbr too long to analysc it. Some of the games in this book function more like the first tvpe of,practice exercise, some more like the second.

3 About this book The games in this book have been dcsigned to practise grammar, not to introduce or explain it. This book assumes that the class has already met each grammar point, and that it has been explained in the textbook or course that thev are folloi,ving. The gamcs are to be used as pracrice exercisesto help students get used to and remember grammatical rules and patterns. Thel' are designed as fun activities to help lighten the load of grammar learning. It is up to .vou, the teacher, to decide when and hor,v to use them, but one suggestion is as light relief at the end of a lesson which has lbcused on grammar or after a session doing more traditional, perhaps rvritten, grammar exerclses. Types of game Some games in the book are u'hat could be called 'choice' games. These tend to be more analytic, based on the conscious application of a grammar rule. In them the players have to choose the correct linguistic form, rather as in traditional grantmar exercise types such as gap-fiIl, sentence completion, multiple choice, etc. The difference is not onl1, that they are in game format, u'hich means the-v are more fun and lighter-hearted, but also thar in mosr casesthere is a context for the game, whereas most grammar exercises are a collection of unrelated sentences. The context is verv often the students' oi.vn experiences, tastes and pret-erencessince I believe that a personal element gives emotional colour to an cxercise and this is a valuable memorv aid - if you have invested something of yourseif in an cxercise you are less likell, to forget it. (Besides which, it's fun!) These are the types of 'choice' games in the book: ruatching: e.g. matching t'uvor.vords or phrases, matching half-sentences or matching words and pictures ordering: e.g. ordering words to make a sentenceJ or ordering pictures and u'ords to make as long a sentence as possible coiltpleting:completing incompiete sentences or questions contpetitions:e.g. see how many sentencesyou can make, how quickly you can unrnuddle sentences card gantesand other.faniliar game 4rpe.r:e.g. bingo, Pelmanism, happl' families, consequences, board gamcsJ dominoes tilentor! ganrcs: e.g. seeing hor,v many sentences players can remember

'reinforcement' Other games, r""hich could be called games, u'ork more like substitution dril1s or pattern practice, getting students to internalise rules by repctition of patterns. These games are designed to provide intensivc repetition of a grammatical structure or structures' but il,'ithin a meaningful context and, since these are games not drills, the repetition has a purpose: students are working towards winning or completing the game. 'reinforcement' games in the book: These are the rypes of inforntation gap ganes'. one player has access to some information not held by thc other player or players, who must acquire this information to complete a task successfuily. This t-vpe of game may be one-sided, or reciprocal (where both pla-vershave information which the-vmust pool to solve a common problem). The games ma-u-be pla-ved in pairs, or in small groups (where all members of the group have some information). guessinggunrcr. a familiar variant on this principle. The pla-ver with the information deiiberatel-v u'ithholds ir, u'hilc others gucss rvhat it might be. searchingg.7/zds:another t'ariant, involving the rvhoie class. In these games everyone in the class has one piece of information. Players must obtain ail or a large amount of the information available to fi1l in a chart or picture or to solvc a problcm. Each student is thus simultaneously a giver and a collcctor of information. ntatching garles: these may also involve a transfer of information. They involve matching corresponding pairs of cards or picturcs, and mav bc pla-ved as a rvhole-class activit-\', rvhere everyone must circulate until thel'find a partncr with a corresponding card or picture, or a pairu'ork or small group activity, played as a card game on the'snap' principle. nlenk)ry garzcs: players compete to remember as much information or as man.v sentences as possible. All the above activities may include elements of roleplay c:r of simulation. In role-play games) players are given the name and some characteristics of a fictional character. These are not role-plays in the true sense) as the role-pla-v element is alwa-vssubordinate to the use 'closed': once of language. The outcome of a game is cards are distributed it develops in a certain predetermined wa1', while role-play proper is open-ended and mav develop in anv number of u al's.

4 Practicalconsiderations management Classroom There are three main t-vpesof activites in this book: pairwork, involving two partnersl small-group u'ork, involving groups of thrce or four or more; and wholeclass activities, 'uvhereeveryone moves freely around the room. Al1 these activities require some flexibiiity in the constitution of groups and organisation of the classroom. It is best to have the desks or tables in a U-shape if possiblc. Students can then u'ork'nvith the person sitting ncxt to them for pairt'ork, and groups of threes and fours can easily be formed b-v alternate pairs moving their chairs to the inner side of the U, opposite another pair. \)ilholeclass activities, w'hich involve all the students circulating freely can take place in the empty area in the centre of the U-shape. If it is not possible to arrange desks in this

way, this nced not deter you: the traditional arrangement of front-facing desks can be easily adapted to pairwork, with peopie at adjoining desks u,orking together, while small groups can be forrned by two people turning their chairs round to face the people behind them. \Whole-class activities present a little more of a problem, but often there is a space big enough for the students to move around in at the front of the class, or desks can be pushed back to clear a space in tht: centre. Sometimes an alternative small-group version of the whole-class games in this book has been provided, so that teachers who experience a great deal of difficulty with the kind of games that require students to move around can play these games in a more static format. Games are best set up by demonstration rather than by lengthy explanation. The teacher should explain briefly what the game involves, hand out the photocopied cards, make sure students have pen and paper if needed, give them a little time to study the cards, and then demonstrate the game with one of the students in front of the class. It will be found that the idea of thc game is probably casier for students t() grasp from seeing the cards than from a verbal explanation, and that as they become more familiar with the idea of the games and the techniques uscd, any initial problems caused by unfamiliarity will quickly disappear. \flhere more complicated card games are played in small groups, a Rules sheet is provided and it is suggestedthat teachers hand out a photocopy of this to each group of students together n'ith the cards. -Ibacher's notes with These games are indicated in the the symbol f RtLEssHEEr l. The teacher's role in all these acti\.ities is that of monitor and resource centre, moving fiom group to group, listening, suppl-ving any nccessary language, noting errors, but not intcrrupting or correcting as this impedes fluency and spoils the atmosphere. It is a good idea to carry paper and pen and to note any persistent crrors or areas of difficulty. These can then be dealt with in a fecdback session after the game. Various suggestions have been given at the end of each game for monitoring accuracy and giving feedback after the game. Some games are self-checking and have an answer ke-v.In some cases students can be asked to give examples of things theit said during the gamc, in others they can be asked to write down (some of) the sentences the-v produce and rcad them out at the end. In manv cascs the game can then be played again with different partners or, if possible, rvith different cards. This is a particularly good idea if there have been persistent errors. The average lcngth of time for the games in the book is about 15 to 20 minutes. Resource management The resources required for each game fall into two categories: reusabie and disposable. \iflhere a very small number of photocopies are needed for a whole-class game or u'here students may write on their cards, it is best to treat these photocopies as disposable, and there is no point in collecting up the photocopies in order to use them with another class r.vhen the game is finished. In contrast, some of the games requirc a larger number of copies and an inr,estment of the teacher's time in accurate

5

copyrng, cutting up and sorting, so it is worthwhile thinking of these materials as reusable resources and investing some time in making the photocopies into a permanent class set of materials. If you have the time and resources, obviously printing or pasting the materials onto card or laminating them would help preserve their shelflife. However, this isn't absolutely necessary I have sets of games materials printed only onto paper that have done their dury in r.vorkshops all over the world and aren't much the worse for wear after several years. \X/hat is more important is providing a system to prevent the materials getting lost and disorganised. If you have a class set of ten packs of cards, for example, it is worth putting each pack into an envelope ciearly labelled with the name of the game and the number of cards. It is then the students' responsibility ro collect up all the cards at the end of the game, check that they are all there, put them back into the envelope and hand them back to you. If two packs of cards are required for a game, keep them in two smaller envelopes inside the big one, and get the students to sort them back into their respecrive envelopes at the end of the game. Finally, if you have no access to copying facilities at all, it is possible, though time-consuming, to make home-made versions of the materials b5r getting the students to work with vou to draw and write the cards.

'The weather in tzuoyears'tinte will be rainy.'is not. It is up to the players to select the most appropriate rrul cARD fiom their hands. As the game goes on, and players have fewer TIME cARDS, this will get harder. In these cases the group can decide whether a sentence is a sensible prediction or not. .

The following pages contain games material to be photocopied and cut up for your class. The Teacher's notes explain how to use this material for each game. All sheets are for single-sided photocopying, except for those on pages I l9 and 120 which are intended for double-sided copying. and not Only cut along the cutting-lines (-----------) along the unbroken lines ( ). On pages 74, 75 and I18, the numbers that identifii the cards are printed within the cutting lines; it is best to keep these numbers within the cut-out cards. But on pages 119 and 120, keep the numbers outside the cut-out cards. On pages 124 128, you will find Rules sheets for some of the games. These can be photocopied too and given to students to help them remember how to play the game.
