Examples: “Pictionary” game: in this game, readers describe a word or phrase,
while others look at this image and try to find the right word. This game helps to
understand the meaning of words, because readers have to visualize them. This game
helps students develop their vision and hearing skills at the same time. “Charades”
game: readers describe a given word using gestures. Others try to find the word. This
game develops a clear understanding of words and their correct use. “Taboo” game:
Readers are given a word, but they cannot use a specific word when describing that
word. This game increases vocabulary and develops students ' skills in using the
language creatively. “Memory Game” (Memory Game): readers must keep multiple
word cards in memory and pair them. This game is effective for memorizing words and
strengthening their meaning.
Interactive activities and their effects
Interactive activities provide active student participation, making their
language learning process more efficient. Interactive methods are based on working in
groups, which encourages students to interact with each other, using new words and
phrases. With interactive activities, students learn how to use the language in
conversations and in real life, not just reading and writing.
Examples:
“Role-Play” (role-playing): readers choose a life situation and play a
conversation between themselves in English. For example, one student may become a
restaurant employee and another student may be a customer. This technique teaches
students to use vocabulary in a variety of situations. “Storytelling” (storytelling):
readers tell short stories to each other. This method allows students to use new words
in a mutual and realistic context. Storytelling helps students improve language and
develop creative thinking. “Word Chain” (word chain): readers say words to each
other, each new word must start with the last syllable of the last word. This game helps
students memorize words quickly and learn the connection between them. “Find
Someone who” (ask Who to find): students must interact with other students in the
classroom to complete the words or tasks listed in the given list. This game encourages
readers to interact and use the dictionary in realistic dialogue.
