@McLaughlinLou @KateLloyd05 Thanks, glad to be here! #eltchinwag |

RT @McLaughlinLou: @ChristineMulla It will definitely be fun and games tonight then ;) #eltchinwag |
| ELTIreland |
Hi everyone, welcome to the fun and games. Moderating tonight are @McLaughlinLou and @ELTIreland if you need any help. #eltchinwag |
| ELTIreland |
Let's kick off with how you define 'games' in terms of education. #eltchinwag |
| KateLloyd05 |
@ELTIreland @McLaughlinLou hello #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@ELTIreland @McLaughlinLou Hi guys! #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
Hi all! Looking forward to hearing your ideas tonight #eltchinwag |
| sarahdateechur |
Hi #eltchinwag, I'm Sarah from the U.S. We use #gamification in my classes. It helps. |
| KateLloyd05 |
@ELTIreland that's a hard one #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@KateLloyd05 @ELTIreland Thanks for joining us...any thoughts on a working definition of games? #eltchinwag |
| KateLloyd05 |
@sarahdateechur can u explain more? #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
#eltchinwag Evening! I'll be half lurking from beneath a mound of essays to be marked1 |
| McLaughlinLou |
@sarahdateechur Hi Sarah. Thanks for joining...can you give us an example of this in use? #eltchinwag |
| sarahdateechur |
@KateLloyd05 Sure! We turned the class into a game with levels, points, badges, etc. The students are very competitive lol #eltchinwag |
| ELTIreland |
@sarahdateechur Great to have you Sarah. #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@sarahdateechur I just watched a TED talk about how gamification could save the world. Very interesting. #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
Maybe can be thought of as activities that engage? #eltchinwag @ELTIreland |

| sarahdateechur |
@ELTIreland thanks, great to be here :) #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@sarahdateechur @KateLloyd05 Yes, competitive element definitely can help raise interest levels ;) #eltchinwag |
| sarahdateechur |
@LahiffP Nice! Was that the one with Jane McGonigal? #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@McLaughlinLou @ELTIreland That have an element of fun and competition. #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@sarahdateechur Thanks for sharing...started to have a quick peek...will definitely check it out later #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@sarahdateechur #eltchinwag Yep! |
| ChristineMulla |
Games for me are activities with an element of competition which help Ss forget about the 'learning' for a while #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@McLaughlinLou @ELTIreland Anyone of the view that competition can be done without in games, or are they an essential element? #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
#eltchinwag My last school told us never say games with the adult Ss, they might think lessons too frivolous. Ss of all ages LOVED games. |
| KateLloyd05 |
@ChristineMulla yet recycle and practise language they have been working with #eltchinwag |
| ELTIreland |
Games: only for YLs or helpful for adults too? #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@LahiffP @ELTIreland Getting into lots of definitions...depends on sts e.g. with YLs most things can become a game #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@EdLaur #eltchinwag What did you call them then? |
| sarahdateechur |
#eltchinwag Maybe for everyone! |
| EdLaur |
@LahiffP #eltchinwag Is the competition element essential? |
| McLaughlinLou |
@EdLaur Strange how this still happens...adults can normally see the purpose behind it and get on board #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
RT @sarahdateechur: #eltchinwag Maybe for everyone! |
| ChristineMulla |
@KateLloyd05 Deffo, couldn't fit it in my tweet.. :-) #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@EdLaur Think if the connection to learning is shown/seen adults have no issues. #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@sarahdateechur Agreed! Have seen sts of all ages enjoying games...although can differ in how they are received across cultures #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@EdLaur I am asking myself the same question. Roleplays are not competitive, but are they games. Same goes for songs and chants. #eltchinwag |
| sarahdateechur |
RT @LahiffP: @sarahdateechur http://t.co/al2cEg8c6Q This was it #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@McLaughlinLou @ELTIreland Conversation would qualify then. #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@LahiffP @EdLaur Never thought about a RP as a game before, though now that you say it... #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
@McLaughlinLou #eltchinwag Totally! Sudoku is a game beloved by adults the world over, why not 'hangman'! (bad game example I know!) |
| McLaughlinLou |
@LahiffP @EdLaur Competition doesn't always have to be there #eltchinwag |
| ELTIreland |
What is the difference, if any, between a game used with adults and one with YLs? Eg types, timing, instructions... #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
@ChristineMulla #eltchinwag Exactly. Motivation comes from enjoyment and interest. Games can be a great tool. |

@McLaughlinLou @sarahdateechur Lots or games are cross cultural I think. Have you ever come across one that didn't travel? #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
@ChristineMulla @LahiffP #eltchinwag I tend to bundle them all into 'game' category. Maybe fun review or introduction task would be better |
| sarahdateechur |
@ChristineMulla Hi Christine! It has helped with the level of engagement, focus, and collab. Ss are responsible for each other. #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@ELTIreland Interesting...most things the same but added c/room management for YLs #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@sarahdateechur Definitely a consideration but high levels of YLs too #eltchinwag |

@McLaughlinLou this is so true! How do you see it differing? #eltchinwag |

@McLaughlinLou that's so true. I guess it boils down to maturity #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@KateLloyd05 @LahiffP @sarahdateechur Did Xs and Os vocab one day. 1 Russian Ss just couldn't get to grips with it. #eltchinwag |

@McLaughlinLou @sarahdateechur When doing training I have found nobody likes games more than a room full of teachers :) #eltchinwag |

| sarahdateechur |
@LahiffP @McLaughlinLou agreed 100% #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@McLaughlinLou @sarahdateechur Mostly. Sometimes adults can be more like YLs, especially when very competitive. #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
@sarahdateechur @ChristineMulla #eltchinwag Sounds great. How old are your S? Are they mixed nationalities? |
| MicaelaCarey |
Hi everyone! Just getting here late. Will catch up on tweets best I can #eltchinwag |
| sarahdateechur |
@McLaughlinLou lol this is very true, although I have seen some adults who can also benefit from learning haha #eltchinwag |
| KateLloyd05 |
@ELTIreland beginning, middle and end! #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@sarahdateechur Was a first for me too at the time...learning experience for all involved ;) #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@sarahdateechur @McLaughlinLou Had Chinese Ss who worked well in teams, but wouldn't try beat each other 4 fear of taking face. #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@KateLloyd05 @sarahdateechur Sounds interesting...#eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@MicaelaCarey Hi Micaela. Great to have you! Last q asked was 'Are there specific times in lessons to play games.?' #eltchinwag |
| sarahdateechur |
@McLaughlinLou that is so true. How did you adapt as a teacher? #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@ChristineMulla @sarahdateechur Maybe a personality thing rather than age thing! :) #eltchinwag |
| sarahdateechur |
@ChristineMulla @McLaughlinLou Wow, I read about that aspect of their culture. Did you have to modify the game? #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@ELTIreland Nice to open and close with for sure! Any time that allows for review/practice. #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@MicaelaCarey Hi! Glad you made it :) #eltchinwag |

Hi @ChristineMulla! I would say a warmer game is always a good idea #eltchinwag |

I would like to join #eltchinwag but it is a bit late here in Spain. I will read you guys tomorrow :) |
| MicaelaCarey |
@anasainzc Hi Ana! :-) #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
@MicaelaCarey @ChristineMulla #eltchinwag I agree, think it's a great way to gain students interest & attention. |
| LahiffP |
#eltchinwag Games often don't fit naturally into my teaching style I tend to do lots of facilitation and collaboration tasks. Is it just me? |
| McLaughlinLou |
@anasainzc Hi Ana! Maybe we'll see you next time #eltchinwag |
| MicaelaCarey |
@EdLaur @ChristineMulla Definitely- a game grabs their attention & gets them ready for English class- sets the mood. #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@anasainzc We'd love to have you if you ever have time Ana. Unfortunately it's hard to get the timing perfect for all. #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@LahiffP Are the tasks fun and enjoyable? ;) #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@EdLaur @MicaelaCarey Definitely, and help them realise learning doesn't necessarily have to be labour. #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
@LahiffP #eltchinwag Me too now. I used to be all about games, but unless they're tech quizzes like Kahoot, I seldom do classic games |
| KateLloyd05 |
@LahiffP but u don't have to be involved in games, they can be student led #eltchinwag |
| MicaelaCarey |
@LahiffP Every teacher has their own style- it's good to go outside comfort zone but you also have to be yourself #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@LahiffP No, not in mine either, or so I thought, though maybe I use them more than I realise and don't see them as games. #eltchinwag |
| LahiffP |
@sarahdateechur @ChristineMulla @McLaughlinLou I once got caught manipulating scores and there was war! #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@KateLloyd05 @LahiffP have found YLs like making games e.g. Board games, card games and obviously any type of physical activity #eltchinwag |
| ELTIreland |
We seem to be naturally moving towards types of games. What games do you use in the classroom? #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@ChristineMulla @LahiffP Good point! Can be how we present things #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
@MicaelaCarey #eltchinwag Reflecting/sharing with others (like #eltchinwag ) is ideal for motivating me to go beyond the comfort zone |
| sarahdateechur |
@EdLaur nice! Here is an article with more info in case you or anyone you know needs it: http://t.co/vFgg3lEyOr #eltchinwag |

I use hangman every now & then with new vocab #eltchinwag it's quick and gets them spelling in English |

@ELTIreland vocab #eltchinwag |

@MicaelaCarey I do plan them in and it works fine. Just don't find I have loads of games at my finger tips the way some seem to. #eltchinwag |

@LahiffP @ChristineMulla @McLaughlinLou oh wow! What age group/country was this? #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |
@LahiffP @sarahdateechur @ChristineMulla I can imagine! I bet that got their attention though! #eltchinwag |

@McLaughlinLou @KateLloyd05 #eltchinwag I really like getting kids to make bingo cards or the other materials that they do on to play with. |
| ChristineMulla |
@McLaughlinLou @LahiffP @sarahdateechur Great convo starter - cheating, hehe. #eltchinwag |
| EdLaur |
@LahiffP @MicaelaCarey #eltchinwag I often look at drama/theatre warm ups and improv games for ideas. Great to really shake things up! |
| McLaughlinLou |
@ChristineMulla @EdLaur @MicaelaCarey Good for sts to try something different as well #eltchinwag |
| MicaelaCarey |
@ChristineMulla Exactly! Quick, easy to do and takes very little time out of rest of class- nice for revision #eltchinwag |

| KateLloyd05 |
@EdLaur @LahiffP vocab cards. Small squares of paper with a new piece of vocab on each, lots of games u can do with them. #eltchinwag |
| McLaughlinLou |

@EdLaur #eltchinwag I have to admit that I tend to avoid activities that are heavy on the cutting up as much as possible. |
| MicaelaCarey |
@EdLaur @LahiffP Now that sounds fun! Improv games can be a blast #eltchinwag |

@EdLaur @LahiffP 1 describes word, first team member to say it gets card, most cards wins #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
1/2 @LahiffP strangers in a lift. Ss board 10 vocab items, group them inside tables (like a lift), explain all strangers #eltchinwag |
| KateLloyd05 |
@EdLaur @LahiffP class version where u describe word. Team gets card. Most cards wins. Use squeaky dog toys as buzzers #eltchinwag |
| ChristineMulla |
@LahiffP 2/2 and lift is stuck. Have to have a chat & use words on board in it. #eltchinwag |
