- A fun game for teaching English to ESL students. Very simple to apply to almost all target expressions.
For an example of a complete pizza game drawing click the link:

Please note this is not my idea I am simply using this video to demonstrate how I apply it in my teaching.
It looks a nice game - but I couldn't really understand his instructions!
Thank you very much for your idea. I'd do it a bit different: in pairs, each student draws a pizza and write a different verb. The verbs should be different between the students. Then, they compete creating sentences (according to the grammar point you are teaching) with the verbs of his/ her partner. Each slice give different points. At the end, they win by total points.
Derly Johanna Great idea thanks
WOW! I cant tell you how escited I got reading this comment. You have used this game perfectly well done!!!
Yay good idea 😀 Thank you :>
Exciting! would u please clarify about points,🙏
Nice game, but will is not for future plans, it is for spontaneous decisions. If you want to talk about your plans for the weekend, you should use either going to, for intentions, or subject+be+verb+ing. As in, I’m staying at home.
Anne davidson very right. Thanks for your input
@@ezpzeslenglishlearning718 Spontaneous decisions, promises & predictions! If you´re going to do ´error correction´; at least get it right!
Using a paperclip as a game spinner is quite clever. Having students read and repeat sentences verbatim is academically weak, however. That's just reading, not learning. Their minds need to be better engaged than that. To do so, make it open ended. For example, provide a phrase that must be used in a larger sentence (with no repetition of answers allowed). Using it in a larger sentence challenges them to use their creativity and memory to find something that 'makes it fit'.
For people watching, notice that the teacher has 'I WILL' as the beginning, and everything else is a branch of that. What he's actually teaching here is "I will ________"
He's teaching 'future tense'. It would have been really smart to emphasize that at the beginning of the video.
The result is that we'll have a lot of teachers trying to copy this with just random sentences instead of teaching a consistent 'concept'... e.g. making everything "I will _________" or "I have ______."
"I have ______" would be perfect for my earlier suggestion of creatively making sentences instead of just reading them verbatim.
Next level teaching requires a teacher to go beyond mere repetition. Repetition looks like learning, but it's one of the biggest problems with Chinese education. Everybody repeats instead of learning how to think critically or how to use their language as a tool in a creative way. Avoid mere repetition as much as possible. Always find a way for each activity to have some creativity in it. The easiest route is to leave things open ended.

It is really wonderful game, i will surely try this with my class.
I like the concept but I think it would work better in testing not in teaching.Here I feel that the students are wasting their time It looks that they are having fun repeating the same sentences but learning nothing.These are mechanical drills that were used in the audiolingual method long time in the past.Thank you
You're right. I commented the same thing, but I also added in the solution... which is to leave the sentences open ended so that students use the phrase to make a larger sentence. This engages creativity. If no repeats are allowed, then this further DEMANDS creativity as well as engaging memory.
Hi there I really like this comment. Thanks for the feedback. I agree the repeating of senctences is not the best way to learn. I hope to add more dynamic learning style game to this channel very soon.
Love it!! tahks so much!!
Thanks for your video! But please can you clarify what happens when they land on BOMB and TAKE 5? I assume CHANGE POINTS means exchanging scores with parter.
What is +5 -2 ? The game is great,but i couldn't understand about pluses and minus. What shall we do with them?
I didn't understand the game please could someone explain it ?
me neither :(
1. STUDENTS HAVE TO MAKE A CIRCLE . 2. THE CIRCLE HAS TO BE DEVIDED IN 8 SECTIONS. 3. EACH SECTION HAS A STATEMENT LIKE "i will do my homework". 4. EACH SECTION WILL HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF POINTS. 5. YOU PUT A PAPER CLIP IN THE CERNTER AND HOLD IT WITH A PENCIL OR PEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CIRCLE. 6. YOU HAVE TO ROTATE THE PAPER CLIP AND SEE WHICH STATEMENT YOU GOT AND HOW MANY POINTS THAT RPRESENT.
Thankyou!!!
@@zio6856 I still dont understand(((
I like it Bro (Thumbs Up).
Please why don't you have new videos???
THANK YOU
Why is the teacher wearing sandals and a hoodie in class? A better strategy might be to explain the rules to all the class rather than going around to individual teams.
Sandals are normal in Korean classrooms for teachers and students. Hoodies are also deemed okay, and are often necessary (many Korean schools never switch on the heaters; it's common to see students wearing their jumpers/coats in the classrooms at all times.)
In some of my schools in South Korea the teachers dressed casually. In my other schools I had to dress more formally!
Nailed it :)
Diego Alexander Gutierrez Valdes have you been in Africa as an esl teacher?
Diego Alexander l totally agree with you. Gutierrez Valdes
Koi easy game btaiye paper pr jjo class room main students easy play kr ske
As a variation you could write open ended sentences to get more practice like. i will...... or I am gringo to....
Going to
i like it very much
I really loved your pizza Game...
Ah thats great to hear! Are you a teacher?
It's wonderful! especially for ESL/EFL students. The teacher encouraged them to work in a team, to be creative (with the clip ^.^), to practise their pronunciation, and the lovely part is to feel fun and comfort with English. I believe that managing time to make their own sentence like Johanna said will be benefitful for their skills. Thank you
I really love your game! I will surely have my students play it!
Thanks I hope it went well!
pretty nice!!!!!
+5, -2...it's all OK, I understand that part. But, a BOMB??? What happens when they get a BOMB? Do they get or loose points?
Losing points or losing their turn. Either or.
In this game they loose all their points :)
lose? maybe
The bomb takes away all the points and they start at zero again.
Little bit confusing but I like the concept 👌👍
wow how can i be you teacher?
Excellent activity, congratulations!
Excellent game. thanks!
Great idea!!! Thank you very much for this)
Love it..Thank you!
I love the idea. I will try it even it will take me time to make the instructions clear to beginners
I like the concept, I guess I'll try it with my Mexican students, although most of the instructions were missed, I think I can adapt it.
If you really want to learn how to teach English, get a copy of Mark's English Grammar Shortcuts. It's the best.
I just loved it!!!! Thank you and I will put it into practice today!!!
Thanks to share different kind of activities to motivate students to learn in a funny way. I really like your video and I `m gonna to apply it.
I like the game, but I don´t see how students will learn by repeating. Maybe you should change the sentences with different verbs and let SS create a new sentence using the verb and grammar aspect (will)
It’s a cool idea, but I would reduce the playing-time and I would provide just a couple of sentences so the students themselves can create their own sentences, which will help them to use the new vocabulary as a written work as well.
thank you very much, i really like this game and i will try it out with my students. thank you again
Wonderful. Kindly upload more games.
what does it mean "change points"????
Excellent. Really creative. I will use t with other tenses too
Glad to watch this video! Thank you:)
Spinners with a foamy arrow Works well too
it looks great that will help me with my students
thanks a million. I will use that game in my English class.
good idea, i will try it with my students.
An interesting activity to teach English!
Great !! I like it thanks for sharing
Thank you so much nice video
I can use it, Thank YOU! It is a great idea
Really enjoyed! Thank you very much for sharing.
Very nice game
GReat idea!!
Why are you wearing slippers in the classroom? haha
That's some Thai thing as far as I can see!
In South Korea you usually dony wear closed shoes indoors.
good one
The teacher must be homeless
Teachers, especially in China get away with wearing some pretty crappy clothes and having unkempt hair. However, you'll notice that all of the students are wearing coats. It's Winter and there is no AC. Compounding the problem is the fact that in China, it's hard to find clothes at a good price because online shopping is nearly impossible for foreigners. We end up paying up to 300% or even 600% more for clothes than we would in our own countries because bargain shopping just isn't as convenient.
So there's excuses for the clothes. The hair... not so much. He may have worn a hat on his way to school, but hell... I've been teaching a while. I carry a comb in my backpack, and I even have hair gel at school in my locker. No reason for foreigners to be frumpy all the time.
