Fun With Grammer
INTENDED USE
Fun with Grammar is a collection of communicative activities and games designed to supplement
grammar lessons and “jazz up” ESL/EFL classes. Expanding upon text exercises and presentations,
these games reinforce the grammar the students already know by providing realistic settings in which
they may practice their knowledge. Included are types of activities and games to satisfy all teaching
styles. Some games are competitive; some, such as activities that involve problem-solving and a
sharing of information, are noncompetitive. All activities are interactive, designed to be done in class
with other students. Some of the activities can be assigned as homework, but that is not the main
intention of this book.
Fun with Grammar has been designed to assist you in several ways:
• to reinforce points that have been covered in a grammar text
• to provide oral or written practice with grammar forms and rules the students have
already learned
• to provide practice in communication skills
• to liven up a grammar class (or any class).
Because Fun with Grammar contains activities for all levels and grammar points, it can be used as a
source of activities for any grammar class or, indeed, for any other ESL/EFL class. Many writing
classes focus on editing skills. This text provides activities (on articles, agreement, subordination, etc.)
that a writing teacher can use to highlight those skills. The book can also be used in a conversation or
listening/speaking class because all the activities and games are communicative and require spoken
interaction with classmates. (For this reason, do not give out worksheets and let the students work
individually.) In some cases the goal of the activity is to create sentences or paragraphs, but the
students must work together to discuss what they will produce. The games, especially the competitive
ones, work extremely well in a conversation class. They are fun, active, and allow the students to react
spontaneously. Cooperation and conversation are keys to the activities.
Finally, a number of the activities are very short (5 to 10 minutes). They can be used as a warm-up
activity or in the few minutes remaining at the end of a class.
