More Index Card Games and Activities for English

By Raymond C Clark

MORE Index Card Games for ESL builds on the success of the original Index Card Games for ESL by offering teachers thirteen additional, classroom-tested game types that require little to no preparation and can be used across a wide range of instructional settings. Designed for maximum flexibility, the book expands the traditional index-card format with richly content-based materials, including folktales, biographies, real estate listings, statistics, proverbs, and other authentic or semi-authentic texts that bring meaningful content into language practice.

Each game is fully photocopiable and comes with clear teacher support: a description of the activity, its instructional purpose, preparation notes, step-by-step procedures, variations for different levels or class sizes, and suggestions for extending the task. The diverse game types promote vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, critical thinking, and communicative fluency while keeping students actively speaking, problem-solving, and collaborating. Whether used as warm-ups, skill-building tasks, content-based extensions, or creative review activities, this resource gives teachers a fresh set of engaging, student-centered tools that fit effortlessly into almost any ESL lesson.
