As an educator of the 21st century, it is essential I provide my students with the variety tools to be successful. By having interactive educational games, my students will have the opportunity to review skills and apply knowledge learned in the classroom. It is important that I create ways for all students to be rigorously engaged on their learning while playing games. As an ENL teacher, I will be teaching English to a variety group of English language learners. As research proves learning language through games can be essential in helping students improve their vocabulary building skills. For example, traditional games such as Apples to Apples can be used in a variety of ways to build language and vocabulary. Students can practice naming/ identifying parts of speech practice: nouns, adjectives, and synonyms. Another alternative is to have students come up with as many words for the describing word in a minute. The person with the most words win! The possibilities are endless! I believe these games will make a difference in our classroom and make learning fun and interactive!
