Learn English through fun! English games

123 game

Adults will love it too! English games!! Fun activities you can play in the classroom, at home, and with friends!

A no-equipment, easy-to-play activity! Here’s an idea for the 123 Game.

It’s a simple and effective game that leverages English learning.

First, say, “Put your hands out!” Then teach three words and their gestures, and participants choose one and act it out.

If they choose the same one as the teacher, they’re out—great for building attention and quick reactions.

This game lets learners move their bodies while using English without any props, and it provides a practical way to use and remember the words they’ve learned!

Spinning Turn Game

[5th Grade Directions] Learn Left and Right in English with Your Body! “Spin-and-Turn Game”

This is a game that’s perfect for checking whether players remember the vocabulary used for giving directions, while having them use their bodies to show left and right.

Start by marching in place.

Then, have them turn their bodies according to the instructions “Turn right” and “Turn left.” Since you can’t move forward indoors, including the command “Go straight” to mean staying in place is a useful twist.

Have them keep marching and changing direction until you say “Stop.” Because players might copy others, it’s also recommended to use blindfolds—while ensuring safety—so they can’t rely on others’ movements.

Fruits Basket

[English × Physical Play] 08 Fruit Basket Game

English Twist! Here’s a fun Fruit Basket idea.

Prepare a number of chairs that is one fewer than the number of players.

The rules are the same as the classic Fruit Basket game! Divide everyone into teams by the four seasons.

The game starts with the call, “When is the season?” The person standing in the middle then calls out a specific season.

The team of the season that’s called stands up and moves to a different chair from the one they were sitting in.

If “All seasons!” is called, everyone stands up and switches the chairs they’re sitting in.

Matching Game

Matching game! #English #EnglishConversation #KidsEnglishConversation

This is a game that adds the element of English word pronunciation to Concentration (the memory card game where you flip over face-down cards and match the same pictures).

When you flip a card, pronounce the picture in English, and use the sound as a hint to try to collect as many pairs as possible.

Using words with similar sounds—like “dirt” and “burp”—is also key, and this misleading element further enhances the gameplay.

Pay attention to subtle differences in pronunciation as you go, and solidify your command of English vocabulary.
