It's a real shame for those students where their teachers play endless hours of games in the classroom. Parents are paying top money for English tuition, so games should only be played in the last 5 or 10 minutes max of the lesson.

And make sure to teach the kids what English words to use when playing the game. Eg:

- your turn
- whose turn is it?
- whose turn to roll?
- game over!

I have sat in numerous classes and see that the kids usually just talk in their own language when playing games.

If a game has nothing to do with learning English, then don't play it. There are enough ways to reward kids whilst at the same time having them learn.
