•  Games are important for our students for multiple reasons some of them are:
• They can be used to improve pronunciation,vocabulary, team work, and affective interaction.

Why use games in the Language Classroom? An interesting article discussed in class by Adam John  Simpson, Turkey

• Games are a welcome break from the usual routine of the language class. They are motivating and challenging.
• Learning a language requires a great deal of effort. Games help students to make and sustain the effort of learning.
• Games provide language practice in the various skills ­ speaking, writing, listening and reading. 
• They encourage students to interact and communicate. They create a meaningful context for language use 

What are the benefits:


Affective :

• The games lower the affective filter
• They encourage creative and spontaneous use of language they also promote communicative competence
• Games are both motivating and fun .

Cognitive:

• Games reinforce learning
• They both review and extend learning
• Games focus on grammar in a communicative manner .

Class dynamic

• Games are extremely student centered the teacher acts only as facilitator .
• Games build class cohesion
• They can foster whole class participation  
• Games promote healthy competition
