Play remains
essential in the classroom because it creates an engaging, low-stress
environment where students can practice language naturally and meaningfully.
Through games, learners build communication skills, reinforce vocabulary, and
develop confidence while having fun and staying motivated.
In this post, I’m sharing a 3P model lesson plan. This is the Production part of this approach.
Playing this board game helps students reinforce vocabulary related to community helpers. When a student lands on a space, they must name the worker (e.g., “This is a firefighter”).
This
matching activity card game helps students build vocabulary by
connecting words to visuals. It also promotes critical thinking and peer
interaction. They can also play Memory Game by turning the cards face down and
take turns flipping two to find a match.
This
spelling game supports letter recognition, phonics, and vocabulary
development by helping students connect letters to meaningful words. Play Race to Spell: Give students a
picture and see who spells the word first.
Bingo
helps reinforce vocabulary through listening and word recognition in a fun,
low-pressure setting. It also encourages focus, comprehension from all
students. Have the students write the community
helper word on each space. Then, call out the job name and students cover the
matching picture. Use the flashcards as calling cards.
