The Transportation games turn learning into an enjoyable experience, keeping students interested and eager to participate. Bring in games that are not done on a flat screen!

Board games support visual learners who benefits from a road colorful path, tokens, and cards. The kinesthetic learners will love to move car pieces along the road.

Domino style game aims to match transportation adjective phrases with the images. It can be played alone or with a partner.

The pocket chart cards are great to review key grammar points, such as the adjectives. It can be as easy as matching the picture to the word as in my example below. Move on to adding an adjective card to describe a vehicle.

Place a vehicle card in the pocket chart. Challenge the students to add as many adjectives as possible to describe that transportation object.

Students remember grammar structures through engaging gameplay. Have the students use the cards to mark the adjectives in their comparative and superlative form. They can also write sentences on their notebooks.

Key matching game. This kind of game will encourage students to communicate naturally in English.
Print and have ready a set of cards for every 2 or 4 students. They will shuffle the cards and hand out 6 or 8 cards depending on the size of the group. Let them know that the card with the keys is a card to match any other card.
They will hold the cards without letting their partners see them. They can make pairs (pictures and words) if they are lucky to have them and display on the table.
The game starts as a student 1ask another: Do you have a plane?
Student 2: Yes, I do! (hands in the card)
Student 1 displays the card match.
Students can play without direct teacher involvement. One student writes several transportation words backwards using the cards and another will write them correctly.
The set of cards can also be used as a Memory matching games to spark excitement as students try to find pairs with a word and a picture.

Give students just a few minutes to make as many words related to the transportation unit using the letters provided. The student with the most words wins!

Have one student write the transportation words backwards using the cards and the other will write them on paper in the correct way.

Write sentences. Hand in a template of the worksheets for the students to make complete sentences. They will cut up the words and put the words into the boxes to form the sentences. If you just want to cut printing cost, have the students write the words on the spaces on the worksheet, using the words cutout as a guide.

In pairs, students can check each other work and see if they have similar sentences and if they are correct.
