Effective Classroom Games For ESL/EFL Teachers: Let’s Check It

A short description about the game of “Let’s Check It”

During teaching a grammar or vocabulary lesson, teachers might wish to check your students’ understanding. “Let’s check it” is an amazing and funny game that can help you do it. Teachers may use it as a quiz to check on your students and give feedback immediately or as a post-lesson activity for further practice. What makes this game appealing is that it requires concentration, attention, observation, and consistency. It also helps students recognize and study the lexical or grammatical structures they learned in depth.

This game is similar to multiple-choice tests. But, it is funnier. You write statements. Under each statement, you put different distractors. Your students will have to choose the correct answer. (The correct answer place is already chosen. So, when you are writing your distractors, make sure you the correct answer in its place). Note that this game gives the chance of controlling the level of difficulty by giving you the choice to modify the number of distractors. Some slides may contain 4, while some others may contain 6 or 8.

Note: It is up to you to modify the game. The examples put here is just for a grammar lesson (passive voice), but you can use it with vocabulary or functions.
