Birthday games introduce vocabulary and phrases related to a real-life
context (birthdays), making language learning more meaningful and relatable.
The playful nature of games can reduce anxiety in ELLs.
Fun games such as domino can help maintain motivation.
This Birthday-themed game allows students to match images with the corresponding
word. It is a way to reinforce word recognition.
Birthday Puzzle games offer repeated exposure
to the new vocabulary making it easy to retain new words through play. As
students put the puzzle together, they can be encouraged to verbalize what they
are matching.
Board games involve interaction and collaboration between peers. There
are two cards that prompt players to answer the question. The other cards are
for moving one space or going back.
Spelling Games can incorporate visual, and kinesthetic elements. Provide
students with the printable cut-out letters in the shape of birthday-themed
items balloons and candles. Use these for various spelling games where students
arrange the letters to spell vocabulary words based on the small cards, puzzles, etc.
As an extra spelling activity have the students do word
shapes. Give the learners math paper with the squares. The letters that are
within the lines have to be represented by a square and the other letters that
go above the line should be a rectangle to fit them. Prepare an example for the
class. A fun way to see how each word represents a shape.
