Fun Games for ESL Kids Classrooms

Swap Seats -ESL Speaking Game

 

 

 

Swap seat game

This seat swapping game gets kids very excited. Kids sit in a circle. Prepare some word or phrase cards and put the up side down in the middle of the circle. When teacher says SWAP, students have to stand up and run to another seat(change seats). The teacher tries to find a seat also. There will be one student standing. That student will have to pick up a card and use it to make a sentence. After that the game proceeds until you sense they have gained much speaking practice in the lesson focus of the day.
  This game is good for all revision activities in ESL kid’s classes.

Variations: Simply ask questions to the student standing if you don't have time to make cards. You can ask questions related to the topic. For example if I was teaching Weather and Seasons. I would ask the one standing questions like:

  • When is winter in your country?
  • What's the weather like in the winter?
  • What do we wear in the winter?
