Let's Talk About the Zoo Board Game

This is a Let's Talk About The Zoo Board English / English as a Second Language Game.

All you have to do is print this game board and grab a pair of dice.

The game board can be printed in color or black and white.

This simple game board is great for your English-speaking students and your ESL students who are building their language skills in the English language.

Students can work in pairs or groups of 3-4. You can also pull students in a small group with you to better assess their progress and mastery.

These board games are great because they come in a variety of themes and topics, so students will be able to increase their vocabulary in a fun and playful way.

You can choose to do a few different activities when you use these board games:

1. Students can take turns rolling the dice. They will move that many places on the board. Whatever space they land on, they can read the question out loud and answer it verbally with their partner or group.

2. Same as number 1, but the partner can answer the question instead of the person who rolled the dice.

3. Same as number 1, but both partners (or everybody in the group) can write their answer down on paper.

4. Same as number 1, but students can practice writing down the question and their individual answer to the question.

If you choose to make it a competition, then whoever reaches the end of the board first wins! But in this series of games the main focus is not on winning but on talking and discussing topics!

I hope you like my teaching ideas! Please don't hesitate to send me your questions or feedback. I would love to hear from you! Cheers, Cindy
