GROUP 2. TYPES OF GAMES 
It is useful to keep in mind the different types of games as well as a variety 
of game objectives in order to make lessons colourful and effective. Lewis and 
Bedson distinguish between two basic types of games: ‘rousers’ and ‘settlers’. 
• 
‘Rousers’ 
– games that help children wake up. These are typically connected 
with movement. They also include games that contain the element of competition 
and guessing games. 
• 
‘Settlers’ 
– games that calm children down. Typical ‘settlers’ include art and 
craft activities, games that focus on listening and writing games. There are some 
types of board games that can be listed in this category.

TIPS FOR USING GAMES WITH YOUNG LEARNERS 
• Always make sure that children cannot hurt themselves or each other when 
playing a game. Pay attention to safety. Change the seating arrangement or move 
desks, if necessary. 
• Introduce games only if you have established rapport and the children respect 
your authority. This helps prevent discipline problems and helps the teacher keep 
control. It is very important that children know their boundaries and do not start 
throwing objects, running up and down when playing a game. 
• Each game should have clearly set and fair rules and a well-defined goal in 
advance. Children need guidance and assistance for playing and they need to know 
exactly how the game is played and what their tasks are. 
• Vary competitive games with games that require cooperation. Competition is 
challenging for kids, however, they also need to learn how to cooperate with others

in order to achieve a certain goal. The application of the two types should be 
balanced. 
• Make sure you have everything needed for the game. Get everything ready – 
preferably before the lesson starts and the children arrive. You can prepare 
everything on a desk. Searching for items in your bag may lead to discipline 
problems. 
• Make sure that all the children are involved all the time. 
• Give clear instructions and explain and demonstrate how the game works so that 
the children are not confused or misunderstand the rules. 
• Teach children the language related to playing games and encourage them to use 
it while playing, e.g. dice, board, It’s my turn. It’s your turn.
