Games for Language Learning (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers)

Great book! I must confess, a few hours before my grammar class, I made a last minute decision to change the activity for the day. I saw this book and decided to buy the Kindle version, and I found the perfect activity to go along with the topic of the day (present perfect). I have since used several of the games. They are fun, creative, and really help liven the classroom. I highly recommend this book for any ESL teacher. I think most of the games can be modified to fit any level and age group. I only wish Cambridge made more of its handbooks for teachers available for Kindle. I don't have space to keep hard copies of books.

The book is fabulous if you are eager to creat challenging classes. The book is clever-structured with lots of variations, so that you feel flexible and free in expanding the activities. It is devided into part according to the main spheres the actives are intended to develop, e.x. mainly speaking, reading, or listening. The first part includes warmers which are just wonderful. The Cambridge series of handbooks for teachers is remakable sourse for teachers of different levels, abilities and ages.

A great resource for language or ESL teachers.

My students were asking for more hands-on and fun activities. I absolutely love the ideas in the book, and my students do too. I would recommend it to all language teachers.

Innovative, fun and educational games teachers can use for students! Recommend this book for anyone teaching English as a second language.

A great set of games to be applied in a wide variety of contexts and ability levels. Wonderful.

Well organized, adaptable. Useful even for parents trying to provide kids with foreign language enrichment.

Should probably be called "Games, Activities and Lessons" for Language Learning, as some of what this book contains can't really be called "games." And some of the stuff is really obvious - do I really need an explanation of how to play "I spy?" There is some good stuff in here though, and it makes a nice addition to a language teacher's bookshelf, if only as something to flip through when you're unsure of how to fill ten or fifteen minutes next class.

Ich war auf der Suche nach Spielen für den Englisch-Unterricht. Ich bin begeistert von diesem Buch, sehr viele hervorragende Ideen, gut erklärt und leicht durchführbar im Unterricht.

Ce livre qui a déjà fait ses preuves depuis environ 30 ans, c'est la 3ème édition, propose une approche ludique de l'enseignement des langues. Bien structurée et facile à suivre, c'est un outil précieux.

Compré este libro para el campamento de verano en el que estoy trabajando actualmente y me ha salvado un montón. He sacado muchas ideas e incluso las he podido adaptar. Seguro que incluso lo utilizaré para mis clases en mi trabajo regular.

Very pleased with this. A wide variety of games and activities. Yes, many are well known, but this is a great support for those of us who lack imagination and struggle to think of an activity on the spur of the moment. Most activities are for groups, but many are applicable to 1:1 or 2:1 teaching. Delivery was within 2-3 days & in excellent condition, so can't fault it.

Extremely useful for language teachers. Obviously not every activity is suitable for every class, but you can get several good ideas out of this book. Very helpful for language teachers.
