 Hello! Linda here from ITTT back this week again with another interesting topic for our live session today. The five best games, the five best Tefl games for adult EFL students. So thanks so much for joining back with another games topic today. I did a similar topic I think two weeks ago about the best EFL icebreaker games and you guys really liked it. We had a lot of fun playing the games and so I thought why not do another games live session for this time for adult EFL students because last time when I did the live session with them the icebreaker games I actually got quite a lot of questions about hey what about adults can I play these games with adults as well etc etc and so yes even though all the icebreaker games that I did show you last time or actually the time before are adaptable also for adults for all pretty much all levels of students and ages these ones now that I've picked today are specifically for adults they're great for adults but you can also modify them tone them down and also use them for children or younger students so that's what we're gonna do today. Hi guys hi Juliana hi Mikey great to see you guys again so good to have you here thanks so much for joining we have Hasna, Hasnawi I hope I'm saying that correctly I'm sorry if I don't thanks so much for joining hi where are you watching from guys I'm in South Korea it is 10 a.m. Friday morning so if you've seen my lives before you know I always have some coffee right next to me and it's ice it's actually dripping hope I'm not gonna make a mess but that's okay so let me just take one sip before we start there we go and now there's water everywhere anyway Mikey in Taiwan awesome cool whereabouts in Taiwan I've been one time and I really want to go back to Taiwan such a pretty place awesome good so before we start let's just do the usual thing here please don't forget to like and subscribe to our YouTube channel some of you guys are watching on YouTube right now we're live on YouTube and on Facebook at the same time so wherever you are watching from be sure you are subscribed or you liked our Facebook page so that you get notified whenever we do go live we always share our live streams beforehand we announced them so you you know you can see you can prepare you can make time for it basically you know when they happen and what topic and yeah we also share a lot of other great content on our social platforms for teachers and also job offers and TEFL information and all that good stuff so be sure to check that out and we also have a 30 discount that you should not miss you can either scan that little this way that little qr code in the right hand corner and you get a 30 discount of any TEFL or TESOL course from ITTT and what you can also do you can also use this discounted link that I'm going to share with you now in the comment section then we're going to go right into the topic okay so this looks like that if you click on that you fill out your application you get 30% off your TEFL or TESOL course from ITTT so if you're interested in taking a TEFL course or if you're already certified and you do want to get an additional course this is a great offer a great time as I always say and that is true we only share the 30% links in our live sessions so all the other promotions that you see are not 30% they're lower okay on other places so so that's something to remember and yeah I think that's about it so let's get into it I'm super excited about this today we get to play some games again that should be fun so let me just make myself smaller there we go okay cool and then we can check out the slides as you always if you've watched before you've seen this slide before I always like to introduce myself to people who are new to our live streams who don't know me my name is Linda I'm a travel writer and content creator under the name Linda goes east east because I've been based in Asia and I have a love and passion for Asia I've been based in Asia pretty much since 2012 and yeah you can find my own website at lindegoseast.com go and check that out there's a lot of great travel info about Asia specifically Korea and China I've lived in China before as well and also teaching information travel information just general like life a broad type of stuff I am originally from Germany at the US my mom is German my dad is American and I am based in South Korea about an hour and a half south of Seoul in a city called Cheongju and I've been here for six years already and I also work for ITTT of course that's why I'm here I'm a Teflon TESOL marketing prep professional for ITTT that stands for international Teflon TESOL training you can find us at tefloncores.net and on Instagram at international Teflon training go and give us a follow over there and yeah what is ITTT? ITTT is a leading Teflon TESOL course provider worldwide we offer a wide variety of different Teflon TESOL courses from online courses to in-class courses and combined courses of all different types

real quick before we jump into the topic from my tier hi I think I remember you you watched last time as well I remember the name thanks so much for joining again today and the question is how can I prepare myself for the Teflon course is there any book available please let me know so basically you don't really need to prepare yourself for the Teflon course because anyone can take the course also without any experience whatsoever so you just go ahead and take the course and all the information will be in the units that you need to know for the final task and to pass the course so you really need to do you really don't need to do any prep beforehand however also during the Teflon course you're going to have a list of resources that we give you and there's a couple of books that we recommend new teachers to read so you are welcome to you know read those books but there's no prep before you need before you take the Teflon course very very simple straightforward just take your test and we teach you everything you need to know basically I hope that answers your question okay so the five best Teflon games for adult EFL students and is anybody here teaching adults I've taught adults and yeah I like teaching adults they're fun they're good I like teaching children too but adults they're pretty great as well in terms of student material what else did I want to say I forgot now anyway maybe it come back to me but oh yeah I wanted to say that I know that some of you are already teaching or have teaching experience and maybe you're going to know some of these games that I'm going to talk about or you know some other games or other versions of the games that I'm going to talk about so feel free to share your version of the game or add any interesting game to the five that I'm going to mention um so that we can you know have an exchange I can learn some new games from you guys maybe so that would be really fun um or like I said if you play a different version of a game that I'm mentioning please also let me know that would be really interesting okay good let's jump right in so I want to start with just discussing uh why we play games in a classroom and specifically because I actually get that asked quite a lot or we at ITTT you know are games suitable for adult students should you play games with adults or is that you know just something you should do with children and obviously everybody loves games everybody loves games adult students adults they also love playing games so don't be afraid to include games into your curriculum also for adult students right if you put yourself um if you think about yourself you know if you maybe learn a new language would you only want to learn you know by textbook and reading and writing and stuff like that no you probably also enjoy some fun games um and cool activities so that's just the same thing um and I've listed here three main benefits of playing games with your adult students so one is that games is a great way to have your students use English in a fun way so basically taking all the pressure of from like all the exercises that you would do in your study phase right and some students they can get really nervous and shy maybe because they are under pressure they know oh I this is a gap fill exercise for example oh what if I get it wrong or something like that so having a game in the mix is going to sort of minimize this pressure and maybe create a safer and fun environment so that the students have fun using English and they can use it freely and yeah in a fun way basically then games are also great to get to know your students and also assess their level so one you can get to know your students better like what they like what they don't like like their personal preferences and things like that but you can also assess their level by playing games and usually if you've taken a Tefl course or T cell course with us we basically teach there's lessons about lesson planning units units about lesson planning in there and we like to follow the e s a method of teaching which stands for engage study activate and typically you would play games either in the engage phase or in the activate phase so um when so at the at the beginning or at the end of your lesson basically and so it's a great way in the beginning of the lesson to get to know your students and at the end to sort of assess not only their level but also if they understood the material that you taught them during the study phase so games are really great for that then games are also great for building rapport with your students right because a game you as a teacher you can join in you can play together and you can all sort of get to know each other you can build rapport you can have fun together which is very very important in the classroom so that you know your students feel safe with you they can trust you they can sort of open up and um yeah share their opinions in English express themselves they're not afraid of talking and that's the ultimate goal I hope you agree with me feel free to always leave some comments in the comment section if you want to add something but yeah that's basically why you should play games and obviously those reasons also apply to younger EFL students not only adults but I just wanted to mention that because a lot of people are like I said unsure whether or not to include games in lessons for adults and it's like of course play games with adults as well they love it you're gonna have so much fun it's it's very beneficial so yes good let me take one more sip of my coffee perfect there's something better than coffee in the morning are you coffee people as well and do you drink your coffee mine is cold today with ice because it's getting really hot here in South Korea and this room actually doesn't have air conditioning my living room in my bedroom they do but this room my office sort of doesn't so that's why I also got some ice coffee now but yeah I hear some people absolutely can't drink cold coffee I can't understand it I love it I love it hot and iced and any variation anyway that's enough about coffee yeah let's jump right into the first game and I know if you watched my icebreaker live session you're gonna notice this is the same game that I mentioned last time as well yes but that's the only game that I'm gonna mention today that I also meant already covered okay so don't tune off there's gonna be other games as well but I know we have a lot of other people and new people and this is just one of the ultimate really great games great for adults that's why I just wanted to cover it again so if this is a repeat for you I'm sorry but just let's just go with it so the game is called two truths and a lie and this game is really great for your very first lesson and that's why I also mentioned it in the icebreaker session last time because it's a great icebreaker game icebreaker again is basically a game that breaks the ice that creates you know loosens up your students gets them talking in English and also if it's if it's your very first time teaching this particular set of students or this one student sort of like to build rapport to get to know each other those are icebreaker games so if you're interested in more icebreaker games go back and watch the live session from two weeks ago we have I think eight different games in there oh it was five as well I think it was also five five and then like a few adaptations so go back and watch that this game is also in there so how does this work two truths and a lie if you don't know basically the students each write down three statements two statements need to be true and one needs to be a lie okay so three statements two are true one is a lie then the students either present the statements to each other or to the whole class to the teacher and then the other students or you the teacher need to guess which of the statements was the lie so this is a really fun game I like to play this all the time with new students it's so so fun and I really really liked it so how I really like to play it because I think maybe for a lot of students it's hard to grasp the concept at first two truths and a lie so I like to go first and I like to write three of my own statements onto the board I write down three statements and then I have them guess first which one is not true which one is a lie and then they guess they guess they have fun it's it's it's a great time it's a great game and then they understand the concept and then I make them write down the statements if you do it this way if you go first then they also see like all what kind of statements you write down um so yeah I think let's just play let's just play I changed it up there's new statements this time different from last time um so let's see I'm gonna make you guess so you're just gonna write down into the comments which one you think is a lie one two or three you're just gonna write the number into the comments which one you think is a lie statements about me okay so I went to college in California is that true or a lie if you think it's a lie you just put number one into the comment box number two my father is from Germany number three I can speak Mandarin Chinese so which one do you think is the lie put the number into the comment box please and then we'll see we'll see we'll see we'll see so which one is the lie I went to college in California my father is from Germany and I can speak Mandarin Chinese which one is the lie good I got a lot of good answers all right so Juliana says number two my father is from Germany that's the lie okay and then we have Chibi hi good to see you again Marcia Hasanoi Hasnaoi sorry uh number three I can speak Mandarin Chinese okay so we have three people for number three and Juliana is alone with number two so let's see which one is the lie which one is the lie good so the lie is my father is from Germany because my father is from America and my mom is from Germany actually so Juliana was correct Juliana was correct congratulations awesome Juliana is right nice good so this is how this game works I think it's really fun and what I've noticed it actually takes a lot more time than you would think for your students because they need to think about all what kind of what statements can I write down and especially younger students if you don't play with adults or if they're like lower level it's going to take them quite a while but I think this is a really great game that you can incorporate in your classroom it's a lot of fun and I highly recommend it good okay so this is game number one I hope you have fun so you can try your own version next time in your in your classroom try it out it's a really fun game and you really don't need any material or resources for it so okay great question here I'm just going to answer that real quick because it fits um do I need to know how to speak and write Chinese to teach English in China as a non-native English speaker so great question we get this question quite a lot oh I want to go to China do I need to speak Chinese I want to go to Spain do I need to speak Spanish etc etc so basically the answer is no the the majority of jobs like 90% of the teaching jobs you're not going to need to know the language of where you're going to teach because you're the English teacher and most of the time most of the time you're just there to speak English with your students and they don't require any other language skills now there are some teaching jobs but then it's indicated in the job offer where they say you also need to speak the other language but it's rather rare so most of the jobs are definitely 100% only English and so nothing to worry about I hope that answers it and Chibi says nope I'm a walking testament to this yep I think Chibi you're in China right or you were in China yes so Chibi says although it does help a lot I speak Chenglish yeah that's awesome it does help a lot and so that's what I mentioned before too in my life sessions I definitely recommend before you go abroad you know taking like learning picking up the basic phrases of the place you know the country where you want to go to the language picking up some basic words and phrases that really goes a long way especially in a place like China but also the longer you stay there you're going to pick up some of the language no matter what it just happens naturally because you live in the place you hear things you just automatically going to learn some things um some of the language so yeah but you don't need to know to go and teach English abroad great who's ready for game number two this is a new one and I'm sure you all know this game so you're going to be like oh what's the news but I know but I have a really great tip for you for this one so the second one is jeopardy jeopardy we all know super fun game and um yeah we love playing it so this one is ideal I would say for review sessions right you especially like before a test maybe or at the end of your class at the end of your like course or something it's great to play jeopardy so this is how it works select your categories depending on your student's level or background for example for business or adult students you could do harder topics obviously so like past continuous or like business vocab or even a mix of everything so um then you would write the value of the clue on one side of the paper and the question on the other side and you want to prepare clues valued at 100 to 200 to 500 dollars for regular and 200 to 1000 for double jeopardy just like in the tv show if you're not familiar you can just google it there's so many examples and yeah you can find it and then what you want to do is divide your students into two or three teams depending on how big your classes and then when you're already you determine who starts and you have them choose a category for example they would say business vocab 300 dollars and then you would pop you would show them the question read it out read out the question and wait for the students to answer the students they all may consult with their team and if they don't know the answer you can pass the question onto the other team if they know the answer obviously they win and you keep track of the earnings the winnings and um yeah keep track of the money and don't forget to subtract money for wrong answers also very important and this game really creates a very competitive fun environment it's super super fun so how i described it here oh and i can't find the paper i wanted to show you where is my paper well uh maybe i i put it somewhere i kind of remember no anyway you would have papers right you can do this like with physical papers but that's a lot of work right for one review session yes you may be able to use it again but there's actually something easier so what i found is a this is what jeopardy looks like i think we all know this website if you go here jeopardy labs and i i'm going to show you real quick here jeopardy labs dot com you can create your own jeopardy game with your own questions your own values everything you can make your own jeopardy game super easy super fun and i'm going to show you real quick how to do this because it's so useful so just one second i need to share my other screen now the other tab uh here we go let's see yes okay so this is what what the um the jeopardy tool does so you can create your own uh jeopardy game here very very fun and yes chibi says kahoot kahoot is also great yes i actually really like kahoot as well and that's fun because the students can play like on their phone that's actually really good too yeah maybe we can do that after so this is the jeopardy this one only does jeopardy which is really cool and you can just put in your own questions so i just as you can see my i named mine business class review game and i just put in past participle so for example what is the past participle of break broken business vocab and then you can even do like uh maybe translation so what i put in here is what's visitenkarten in english visitenkarten is german for business cards so if you know the student's language you can do that as well and then this is how you create a new category for example i wanted to do opposites so we could do that opposites and then we create a questions looks like that so the question could be what is the opposite of to export for example and the answer would be you write the answer here to import oops here and then you fill it out if you don't need more categories you can just leave that blank and you fill out more questions as many as you want you can also it's really cool just oh no that's not what i wanted to do you can just drag and drop them in a new place which is really fun and easy and then you hit save and finish and then it would basically trigger the game so you can pick how many teams you have so let's do two teams and then you can start and then you would see we only filled out three questions so that's the only ones that we see but here you have your teams and then they can pick let's say oh past participle is 100 okay and then the question pops up and then reveal correct answer responses here spacebar so they would say the answer then you're like yes broken and you would give them 100 and continue as exit and then this is grayed out we played this already so then it only shows the ones that are left so it's super easy to create i just wanted to show you guys because i think jeopardy is a very very fun game but a lot of teachers don't like to play it because it's so much work to prepare and then let's look at cahoots what chibi was saying cahoot i don't remember do you need to have an account for cahoot i did use that before to create it only takes minutes to create a learning game or trivia quiz on any topic in any language so yeah and then you can host and share and basically you don't even need to have the cahoot app as i remember so you just share the link i think and you get a pin and then your students just put in the pin and then they can enter your game and then they would play basically on their device they can see the question on their phone it's really cool so if you're yeah that's another good one to check out and i believe it's also for free so cahoot is really nice they do have an app as well so yeah cahoot is nice thanks so much for um mentioning that i've totally forgot about cahoot okay so chibi says yeah i think but you can do as a guest i believe okay let's just click play maybe we can show it yeah the link and pin is how you enter okay oh game pin see now i'm a guest i don't have a pin though create your own free code free at cahoot.com okay so i think for creating we do need to um sign up but yeah cahoot is really really fun and see it also works on zoom so that's really good okay cool so it would actually also work with online students which would be really fun um so i think i'm gonna try that out with one of my online students i think that'd be really cool actually so you can create your game and then just play what what i like is that they play on their phone which is super interactive and people just generally really like that so yeah dare you have it so i'm gonna close that and then i'm gonna bring my slides back one second we should be back soon yep good so that is jeopardy um so let's see the next one here we have movie trivia and this is one where i have some examples so we can all play together again it's really fun so what is movie trivia this is especially great for improving english fluency and basically you divide the class into two teams and one student from each team writes down a fact or even a quote about a movie onto the board for everyone to see and his or her team members now need to guess the correct movie if they get it right they get a point but if they don't the other team gets a chance and you can also play this with books or even songs or if you have something like a literary english class you could do like quotes from like famous writers or like pieces of literature and stuff like that so it's very versatile um to make it harder you can also limit the students to only share three to four statements about the movie and this also saves time and makes sure the game won't take too long so what i did i prepared some examples um quotes movie quotes and so we're gonna play in a second but um what i wanted to say that i had a i have a friend and she actually taught at a private english language school in korea um adults and her class i think was basically it was really fun they were watching english movies i think was they watched english movies like in english and with english subtitles and that's sort of their curriculum so every week i think they watched a different movie and they were talking about the movie what it was about and like the the difficulties they had in a movie and how they solved the problem and things like that so if you teach a class like this this game would be perfect to end every movie uh lesson that you do that would be really great um so yeah or you just played without you know watching a movie and you pick or just do have the students pick movies that everybody knows so that's what i did so we're gonna look at some quotes movie quotes and you guys play with me um if you know what movie this is from you just write the title into the comments okay and the first person to do this is the winner are you ready are you ready all right i'm gonna show you the first one if you know what movie this quote is from type it into the comments first one is i'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse what movie is that from i hope you know i hope somebody knows somebody somebody please has no business law no that's not the movie sorry what movie is this quote from i'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse i'm gonna wait a few more seconds and then i'm gonna show you the answer maybe people are too young who you who are watching maybe you're too young i actually haven't seen that movie either but it's a very famous quote usually one of the most famous movie quotes but i guess not for us this time hmm and don't google it that's cheating don't google all right i'm gonna give you the answer it is the godfather the godfather very famous movie that's a very famous quote from that movie i guess no godfather fans in here okay got it got it next one i think you're gonna get that one okay okay let's try next one made a force be with you i'm sure somebody's gonna get that so write it into the comments as quickly as you can made a force be with you let's see guys don't disappoint me i picked yes good okay we got marcia thank you star wars yes star wars great made a force be with you or luke i'm i'm your father great star wars congratulations marcia one i have one more for you guys let's see let's see who's gonna get that one okay so yes star wars and last one i'm king of the world king of the world who says that what movie is this from what movie is this from and i can give you some clues if we don't let's see i'm king of the world mm-hmm manar good titanic very good titanic leo says it Leonardo i'm king of the world on the titanic great awesome yes good job really good so this is a movie trivia game you can do like i said quotes from the movies or you can just do facts about the movies you could do like oh this movie is set in set on the sea right if we do titanic this movie involves a love story and things like that so instead of doing quotes you can do other things and like i said instead of movies you could do books if you you know teach a reading class for example or you could do like quotes from famous people if you teach a literary class you can do quotes from different pieces of literature and things like that so this is a really great game super easy to do also even if you just have you know like maybe 10 more minutes at the end of a class yes very good maybe with a soundtrack with music excellent yes you could do like lyrics yeah parts of a lyrics and people have to guess all what song is this very good yeah love it love it good idea so if you teach like a music class so you can really adapt that to whatever you needed whatever you need and like i said if you if for example you have like 10 minutes left at the end of your class you don't know what to do play this game it's really fun okay good one next up we have the how to game the how to game also really fun so what you want to do with this one basically this game is really great for getting your students creative minds going it's really really fun um and basically how you want to start this you want to show your students a short video of a how-to tutorial and there's a ton on youtube you can just google how to and then see what comes out but basically just show them like a quick how-to tutorials they get the gist of what a how-to tutorial is if they don't know and then you divide them into groups and have them write their own how-to instructions for a secret task so they write the how-to instructions but they don't tell anybody like for what how to do what that's the secret and then you can also encourage advanced students to be as creative as possible such as how to travel back in time or how to become a millionaire if they're really advanced you can make like um things like that so what you can do is either prepare the little statements on papers and you hand them out or you just have students come up with their very own topics and then when they're done writing their how-to instructions the groups or the students individually however you want to play it they present their tutorial and the other students they need to guess the secret task so what the how-to tutorial is about really fun uh could also be even like fill uh be like a class project could be a whole lesson just with this game it can take quite a while or you just do it very quickly very versatile so I have an example for you let's see I wrote some instructions and let's see if you can figure out what the secret task is here okay so the instructions are number one fold a piece of paper in half vertically unfold the paper and fold each of the top corners into the center line fold the top edges into the center line fold the piece in half toward you fold the wings down matching the top edges up with the bottom edge of the body add double stick tape to the inside of the body so what is this how to these how-to instructions what are we making what's the secret task you can figure this one out maybe if you have a piece of paper near you you can follow it and then you can figure it out what are we making here what is the secret task fold a piece of paper in half vertically fold the paper and unfold the paper and fold each of the top corners into the center line fold the top edges into the center line fold the piece in half toward you fold the wings down matching the top edges up with the bottom edge of the body add double stick tape to the inside of the body what is this I picked something really easy I picked something really easy not traveling back in time not becoming a millionaire no like time machine all right a boat almost almost a paper flower no they're very close it's not a boat it's not a flower we're close though close I'm gonna give you a couple more seconds maybe we can figure it out but this is exactly this is a great example because you're getting your students if you're like my students thinking shouting out words in English is it a boat you can ask them make a whole sentence is it a boat no it isn't is it a paper flower no it isn't so get them talking thinking in English and yeah that's the end of the game so very very good very good example session right here that's very good okay oh I forgot the word but it needs wind I think yeah we're pretty close okay let me show you what it is it is a paper plane a paper plane and those are actually the instructions you can see in the picture here this it's a paper plane guys good that was fun that was fun so this is a really good game it's really great for advanced students who know a lot of vocabulary and it gets creative minds going and as you can see during like the guessing session the other students also shout out words and like I said you can ask them make a whole sentence is it a boat no it isn't is it a paper flower no it isn't so it's a really good game for really everything good all right so there's one more game left that I want to show you one more game left let's see so the game that I have for you now is called the great debate so this is also really really good ideal perfect for adult students or more advanced even high school or even middle school depends how young you want to start but this game is really great for expressing one's opinions likes and dislikes and things like that so how does this work you show your students photos or articles about recent or controversial topics such as things like war protests and things like that environment issues and next you divide your students into two teams and you assign an opinion on the matter to each team one team will be pro and one team con for example one team is for the reunification of north and south korea and the other is against it what's important here is that you want to assign the opinion to each team so that the students don't need to share their personal opinions that's very important because some people don't feel comfortable sharing their opinions so you assign when you assign each team with their position pro or con it's just better so I recommend doing it that way so that there are no conflicts starting and then next you have your students start debating in orderly fashion no yelling nothing like that talking over each other no everybody has the same amount of time and you switch between the teams switching from one team to the next also be sure that every member of a team expresses their thoughts during the debate and nobody's left out so everybody should be talking and expressing their opinion and their thoughts sounds good I think we all know debate but yeah this is just such a great game to play especially with adult students and it can be really fun and yeah I just wanted to show you these two examples I know they're really small you probably can't see but basically what I want to say that before you do the debate session you want to hand out or you want to go through um debate language so give them you can also google this I googled this and found this very very quickly these resources so these are useful phrases for group discussions and then there's like asking about or for an opinion giving an explanation giving your opinion agreeing with an opinion qualified agreement asking for an explanation so that they know you know what they should say what they can say because we want to debate in an orderly fashion and so that should be done before you do the debate there's also I taught debate classes before so that's even some schools do classes around that so depending on where you teach but yeah that should be done first debate language and then you can also find a lot a lot of different resources for topics for debates so for example here we have things like plastic bags cause environmental pollution is that true pros and cons of using social media our student loans exploitative our how does tourism affect the environment can censorship ever be justified things like that can animal testing be justified and then so there's really a wealth of material that you can find for doing these debates and games and um yeah I think there's nothing more to add to that I always personally really like doing debates as a student and also as a teacher I thought that was really fun because it's a great way for students to express their opinion because they always and you just want to make sure that every student gets to talk um so yeah yeah I hope this is helpful today okay what do you guys think about debates what do you guys think about debates because I think a lot of adult classes um if you do teach with textbooks they also cover a lot of um more difficult topics and controversial topics like the ones mentioned here so then it makes really good sense um to include a debate into your lesson as an activity after so yeah I hope that was useful I hope you learned something today well that was the end that was the last game so um I just want to quickly mention how you can find ittt online so on facebook on twitter and instagram uh website is
