It is important to remember that the conversational English level of most students will be low, even though they may be able to read well.  All need as much practise as possible to speak English and one of the best ways of doing this is firstly through drills and then through games.  Playing English-learning games is important for a number of reasons:

» they bring an element of fun to the classroom

» children don't realise they're actually learning as much as they are

» it increases motivation to learn and study harder, especially if there is an element of competitiveness involved!
