LANGUAGE GAMES
LISTENING GAMES
Listening is not just hearing. It requires an active effort on the part
of the students. It trains the child to select, remember and process sound.
They must be able to discriminate sound, recognize and identify various
sound concepts.
1. The teacher says two sentences
They must leave
They must live.
Students should say whether the sentences are the same or different
and award points to one of the groups. They respond by raising their
hands if the sentences are the same and keep quiet, if they are different.
Those who make a mistake are out of the game.
2. The teacher shows an object or draws a picture on the blackboard and
says a sentence. If the sentence is relevant, students should respond,
say by raising their hands or else they should keep quiet. These games
enhance listening comprehension.

SPEAKING GAMES
Through speaking activities, children get maximum

Opportunities to speak out and express themselves freely.

1. Spelling Games
The teacher says a word, say book and asks the class
(divided into groups) to say a word beginning with K (as in
anthakshari). If one group says kite, the next group should say
a word beginning with E. The group that gives a correct
response scores a point. One that gives a wrong answer loses
one point.
2. Busy Bee

to say words beginning with c. This game ends when a group
fails to say a word beginning with c.
3. The Ladder

say hospital and asks the class to say words connected with a
hospital like doctor, nurse, bedetc. the group that says a word
not relevant to a hospital loses a point.

READING GAME

some funny commands written on them. Individual students are asked
to read each command and act it out. The group whose member makes
a mistake loses a point.

WRITING GAMES

paper. Each correct sentence gives the group, one point.

like pins, buttons, banglesetc. spread about 30 to 40 items. He covers
them with a newspaper. He then allows students look at them for about a

in the class. The group that writes the maximum number of words with
