Have you ever got a child to buckle down and start memorizing flashcards? Even better having a group of pre-teens attention for more than ten minutes? Sometimes learning through interactive games and “out-of-the-norm” stratagems can quickly and adversely be quite the learning curve that is needed to give the advantage in a learning environment.

The potential Benefits of Interactive Learning

The Learning of a new language should be natural. We are taught a language from birth to roughly around the time we are eighteen months to two years of age. After that what we learn is from our environment and our need to develop. after this development, we have to in a sense start from scratch. Not many students have the will nor the need to learn a language not similar or custom to their household or their learning environment. to do this believe interactive games are a necessity.

Here is a video on interactive Spanish Games in a Classroom

Here are three of my favorite games And different approaches to utilize them as a classroom tool

As I mentioned before learning a new language can be difficult and feel unnatural to most. Learning should be fun, entertaining, and sometimes competitive. games can be used to make learning more relaxed, especially when in a classroom setting where some students might feel pressured to pronounce words or phrases in front of others. when playing games with others you can learn from each other in a fun exciting way naturally.

Spanish Bananagrams

This really is my favorite way to mix words up! Language needs to be played with and just having a way to mix up your vocabulary can really help your base knowledge of a language.

Spanish Pictionary

Pictionary can be played many different ways from beginner to expert level as the time can really apply pressure. Learning words and drawing them out for others to guess can be fun and educational at the same time. I personally love this game as some may be the opposite of artistic like myself and can really have the energy of the room going.

Manzanas con Manzanas

Apples to apples is a fun exciting way to combine words phrases and adjectives to complete sentences and really learn some basic Spanish. This game is definitely basic level Spanish as some beginner’s knowledge is necessary to play the game outright. this game is excellent to help students elaborate Spanish phrases as making sentences can be fun and sometimes comical.

“Manzanas to narajas”

Make learning fun!

I hope you all enjoyed my blog and utilize tools that we normally wouldn’t. Make learning fun and enjoyable. Language learning should feel natural in a class setting and sometimes you have to use tools and tricks to make students feel comfortable when using and learning a new language. Thank you all for your time and I’m looking forward to your feedback.
