Opening Many Locks with a Master Key: Six EFL Games Played with a Set of Cards
Cesur, Kürsat
English Teaching Forum, v57 n4 p1-8 2019
Being a lucky child, I played lots of games, as my parents were primary-school teachers, and playing games is a natural part of growing up and learning. More recently, I took the opportunity to create new games while teaching a course called "Teaching English to Young Learners" to preservice teachers of English. Among these games, there are more than 20 that can be played using only one set of cards, including those described online at TenTen 4 Kids (2018a); teachers and students can make these cards by using the example template in the Appendix. In this article, I describe six of these games that I have either adapted or created.
