Games in Teaching English

Mérida Cervantes Hidalgo

Nikol Elena Rojas Herrera

“Games help teachers to create contexts in which the

language is useful and meaningful. That is why the

remarkable power of games to engage our attention is

evident all around us. Individually, and as a culture,

we spend a lot of time, energy, and resources to watch

and participate in games.”

“Most of children have video games, and school

calendars are arranged to make sure that interschool

sports can be accommodated. I will bet that your cell

pone even includes some tiny games so that you can

play in any time. We are so awash in games every day

that we may not even notice their.”

We can use outdoor or indoor games.

develop social skills and good relationships while they interact with each others.

It arises students’ motivation. Games prepare young learners for life and they acquire positive social attitudes.
