Here are my top 10 ESL games and activities for adults. Number one is the small talk game. I make a grid of 5x5 and then I put a bunch of small talk topics in it. Weather, Hobbies, Sports, Daily Life, Schoolwork, etc. I put students into pairs and each pair would partner up with another pair. They get one grid and then they do rock, scissor, paper and the winner gets to choose one of the squares and then the other team is the timing team. They time one minute and the two people that chose that square, for example, weather, talk about the weather for one minute without stopping. If they can do it, they mark off that square as their own. The goal is three in a row.
The second game is just a minute. I put a bunch of topics up on the board: food, sports, hobbies, etc. I put students into groups of four, with numbers: 1, 2, 3 , 4. Then I throw a scrunched-up paper ball at the board. If it hits weather, number 1 has to talk about weather for 1 minute. Then number 2, 3, and 4 in the group listen carefully. Then they ask a follow-up question.
The third game for adults is get to know you bingo. Use a standard Bingo board and then put things on the board that you think only some people might say yes to,. For example, loves pizza, is a third-year university student. Then students get a bingo board and they have to go around the class asking people a question. If someone says yes to a question, for example, do you love pizza? Yes I do. Then they could write the name and then cross off that square.
The fourth game for adults is concentration. I make up a bunch of matching cards. It could be the picture and the vocabulary word, or the definition and the vocabulary word, or some problem with some advice. I cut them out and usually I have about eight pairs, so about 16 is a nice number. And then I put students into groups of four and they take their papers and they mix them up and they place them face down in kind of a random fashion on the desk. The first person, they take two papers and show everybody. So they'd keep them in the same spot. It's not a random guessing game. It's a memory game. Theyook and they maybe have like a picture of an apple, but then they have the word cucumber. That's not a match. They put them face down and then the next student goes.
The fifth activity is running dictation. I use a conversation between two people that has lots of the target grammar or vocabulary. I make it sentence by sentence and then I cut it out on slips of paper. Before the students get to class, I tape them at various points around the classroom. When students come to class, they partner up. One person is the the reader and the speaker, and the second person is the listener and the writer. The reader walks around the class, and they look at a piece of paper and they memorize it, and then they go back and tell the person who is the writer. The writer writes it down and then they keep doing the same thing. When they're finished, with all the sentences, they number them one, two, three, etc. and they make a coherent conversation. The first team to make that conversation is the winner.
The sixth ideas is board games. There are classics like Monopoly and UNO, which are quick and fun, but I also like playing strategy gamse. There's Catan, King of Tokyo, Puerto Rico.
The next game for adults is 20 questions. This is a classic I'm sure you've played before. You think of a person, place, or thing and then other people have 20 questions they can ask you.
The next ESL game for adults is charades and then also Pictionary. Charades is acting it out, Pictionary is drawing it.
