    Straight into it, no bullshit, here's 10 games. No stupid intro or music or anything love it, thank you so much
  • @elvenstar7124
    Yes! I’ve played some of the games you suggest here, and they really make a big difference! Thank you!
  • @lisaliston4122
    Some excellent suggestions for zoom meetings! When playing "hangman" with young students, I call the game "guy smiley." Instead of a noose we just build a guy with a happy face when guessing correct letters. Much more appropriate than hangman

    New ESL teacher in the making, and thank god you shared Baamboozle... saved my life with my class tonight!

    A fun one that students absolutely love to replace hangman: Draw a person on the whiteboard who is falling into the ocean with a parachute. In the ocean, about to eat the person, is a shark. The person is wearing a backpack with ropes that go to the parachute. When a wrong letter is guessed, I delete a rope. When the ropes are gone I delete the hands, and if the ropes are deleted then I delete the parachute and drag the person into the sharks mouth. Students absolutely love it and it's a lot more customizable than hangman. You can change the shark for other animals, the students can draw different parts of the setup (they add some really funny touches to it), and you can make a backstory for why they are about to fall into a shark's mouth in the first place. We also like to say that the person parachuting is one of the students and the class is trying to save each student from getting eaten, which adds a really nice personal touch for everyone where they are working together to save themselves and their friends

    Thanks a lot. I'm a Math teacher and preparing an online class for the whole semester. Regards from Indonesia 🇲🇨🙏
  • Thank you so much! The switch to online isn't as intimidating anymore with these ideas.
  • "hangman sucks" Subscribed immediately. Great video, you're just a good normal guy. No outlandish movements and constant fake smiling like on VIP kid videos. Just straight to the point, great stuff mate.
  • This is great because most videos drag things out for 20 minutes. Really succinct, fantastic thank you!

    Really handy. I'm a volunteer with the Hands Up project delivering sessions to children in Palestine. This has given me some ideas for easy games the kids will love :)
  • Just what I needed, thank! Last week before the Christmas holidays coming up and I always try to play some games...not so easy for adults sometimes! But this helps a lot!
  • @ololo3520
    Hangman is absolutely great for a large group of students, as well as different riddles. I had 60 and more students in one class and all that activities could be a real help for a teacher.
  • @paolorueca
    "Touch your eye... Don't touch you're eye." Haha, love it.
  • @haninhamad9665
    The best online resource that I've found for ESL games.
  • Thank you ... by watching this you gave me idea how to improuve my zoom session with the K1 students 🙏
  • @shalini8848
    I like how precisely you present everything!
  • Hahaha! Great suggestions thanks. I got my kids to wash their hands and then we played a game to wash other parts of the body. They laughed so hard when I said "wash your eyes." They went on to suggest wash your mouth!
  • Well, next week I'll be starting our free trial EFL class. This is helpful. Greatly appreciated.
  • @captainjemmo
    Thank you. This is so helpful. I am teaching Elementary kids and I really want to make it a fun experience for my students.
