The Game’s Up! was my plenary session on Saturday morning at IHTOC3. The aim of the session is to review the use of games in the classroom over the last 50 years or so and discuss whether games are still relevant in the language learning classroom today.
Along the way we played a few games from the past and the present and looked forward to the future of games as well (with a little help from my private student, Sergio).
On the link you will find a recording of the session, the session slides and all of the handouts of the games used in the session – enjoy!
The next step is to create a handout for teachers to use while watching the video to make watching it a more hands-on exercise – watch this space.
What are your favourite games to play with your students? Do please share them with us. Do you stick to old faves or are you at the forefront of gaming technology use with your students. As always, I’d love to hear from you, both about the session and your ideas too. Game on!

I’ve got an occasional series of ‘back to basics’ type games on my blog: http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/category/materials-activities-and-ideas/simple-games/ Hope you like them 🙂

I certainly do, Sandy. You seem to like races in your classroom? Some really simple and effective ideas there. Thanks for sharing and I hope others are as generous too.
