Learning English can be both fun and effective when infused with interesting games. At Manthena American School, being one of the best schools in Sharjah, we focus on innovative teaching strategies to improve the language acquisition skills. Here are ten interesting games that make English learning fun for students:

Boggle: This fast-paced game challenges the players to find words within a grid of letters in a time frame. This improves word recognition and thinking speed.

Pictionary: In this game, the players draw a representation of the word or phrase while their teammates guess, encouraging creativity and understanding.

Charades: The game involves acting out words or phrases without uttering a single word, promoting non-verbal communication and context understanding.

Hangman: This is a guessing game that requires the student to guess a word by suggesting letters, helping in spelling and vocabulary reinforcement.

Word Search Puzzles: Players find hidden words in a grid, which helps in recognizing word patterns and improves scanning skills.
