Effective Classroom Games For ESL/EFL Teachers: Let’s Play Football

A short description about the game of “let’s play football”

“Let’s play football” is an amazing game that can stimulate your learners’ motivation. It can be used as a warm-up at the beginning of the lesson or to review the last lesson. You, the teachers, have to plan the questions you will ask during the game prior to the class. Your questions should be specific and relevant to your lesson.

This game simulates real live football matches. There will be two teams playing against each other. Each is trying to score in the other’s goal.  This game requires students to show speed, attention, and concentration. The team that has these features will always score a goal. The two teams are free to answer the questions. But, you will have to decide on they will do that. You may tell them they can raize their hands or say “bingo”. The first team does one of these, gets permission to answer the question.
