activity. Little kids love movements, while older ones get excited with puddles, crosswords,
word wheels, and poster competitions whatever.
Modern language teaching requires a lot of work to make a lesson interesting for modern
students who are on familiar terms with computers, Internet and electronic entertainment of any
kind. Sympathetic relations must exist not only among students but between students and a
teacher. It’s of special importance for junior students because very often they consider their
teachers to be the subject itself, i.e. interesting and attractive or terrible and disgusting, necessary
to know or useless and thus better to avoid.
A teacher should bear in mind that it is the content, not the form, which is of interest to the
child. A toddler does not learn to say, «Cookie, please», in her native language because she is
practicing the request form. «Cookie, please» is learned because the child wants a cookie.
So children learn with their whole beings. Whole-child involvement means that one should
arrange for the child’s participation in the lesson with as many senses as possible. Seeing
pictures of children
performing actions and repeating, «The boy is running», «The girl is
hopping» is not at all as effective as when students do the actions themselves in response to
commands and demonstrations from the teacher.
All said above is fairly true to adult learners not only children, because of our common
human nature to possess habits through experience. We all learned to understand and speak our
first language by hearing and using it in natural situations, with people who cared for and about
us. This is the most effective and interesting way to learn a second language as well. The experts
now advise language teachers to spend most of the classroom time an activities that foster natural
acquisition, rather than on formal vocabulary and structure explanations and drills. They insist
that «once you have become accustomed to the rewards and pleasures gained from teaching
through activities, you will wonder how second-language teaching ever got to be anything else.
Your own ideas for activities and their management will flow, and your students’ learning rates
will soar!». «Activities’ mean action games, finger and hand-clapping games, jump rope and
ball-bouncing games, seat and card games, speaking and guessing games and even handicraft
activities. Judging the results we have nothing but believe them.
'In conclusion, learning vocabulary through games is one effective and interesting way that
can be applied in any classrooms. The results of this research suggest that games are used not
only for mere fun, but more importantly, for the useful practice and review of language lessons,
thus leading toward the goal of improving learners' communicative competence.'
So language learning is a hard task which can sometimes be frustrating. Constant effort is
required to understand, produce and manipulate the target language. Well-chosen games are
invaluable as they give students a break and at the same time allow students to practice language
skills. Games are highly motivating since they are amusing and at the same time challenging.
Furthermore, they employ meaningful and useful language in real contexts. They also encourage
and increase cooperation.
Games are highly motivating because they are amusing and interesting. They can be used
to give practice in all language skills and be used to practice many types of communication.
I noticed that those groups of students who practiced grammar activity with games felt
more motivated and interested in what they were doing. However, the time they spent working
on the words was usually slightly longer than when other techniques were used with different
groups. This may suggest that more time devoted to activities leads to better results. The marks
students received suggested that the fun and relaxed atmosphere accompanying the activities
facilitated students' learning. But this is not the only possible explanation of such an outcome.
The use of games during the lessons might have motivated students to work more on the
vocabulary items on their own, so the game might have only been a good stimulus for extra

work.
Although, it cannot be said that games are always better and easier to cope with for
everyone, an overwhelming majority of pupils find games relaxing and motivating. Games
should be an integral part of a lesson, providing the possibility of intensive practice while at the
same time immensely enjoyable for both students and teachers.
