But what about playing some games to pass the time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter if you have two or five minutes left, or if you\u2019re teaching beginners or advanced learners, here are some games that your students will love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Word_Chain\"><\/span>Word Chain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple game is suitable for any level. The rules are easy: You say a word, and your student must say a word that starts with the final letter of the word you said.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/03\/05054631\/word-chain.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/03\/05054631\/word-chain.png 622w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/03\/05054631\/word-chain-300x81.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>(Because so many English words end in the letter \u201ce,\u201d you may decide that you are both allowed to use the consonant before \u201ce\u201d to start the next word, i.e., \u201cla<strong>k<\/strong>e\u201d \u2192 \u201c<strong>k<\/strong>angaroo.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also adjust the game so it fits the topic you\u2019ve just covered in the lesson. For instance, if you were talking about cars, you could limit yourselves to only transportation-related words (\u201cca<strong>r<\/strong>\u201d \u2192 \u201cred ligh<strong>t<\/strong>\u201d \u2192 \u201c<strong>t<\/strong>ruck\u201d).\u00a0This is a good way to review vocabulary covered in the lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an even greater level of challenge, you can also limit yourselves to words that appeared in the lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_Truths_And_A_Lie\"><\/span>Two Truths And A Lie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, this game involves you saying two things that are true and one that isn't. Your student must then figure out which statement is the lie. Make sure they provide reasons for the choice they made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of a tutor playing with a beginner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"623\" height=\"293\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/03\/05054500\/truths-and-lie-game.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-952\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/03\/05054500\/truths-and-lie-game.png 623w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/03\/05054500\/truths-and-lie-game-300x141.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, it\u2019s your student\u2019s turn to tell two truths and a lie. For more advanced students, you can increase the challenge by saying three or even four truths rather than just two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One benefit of this game is that it can lead to mini-conversations: \u201cOh, your <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/vocab-expressions\/movie-vocabulary-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">favorite movie<\/a> is&nbsp;<em>Titanic<\/em>? That\u2019s also my favorite movie!\"&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, be careful not to share information that is too private, such as \u201cI have never had a boyfriend\/girlfriend\u201d or \u201cI am married with three kids.\u201d We should discourage our students from doing the same. Oversharing can put either you or your student in an <a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/about-online-tutoring\/how-to-avoid-answering-sensitive-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">awkward situation<\/a>, and we don\u2019t want that to happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_Spy\"><\/span>I Spy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For this game, all you need is a photo. You can use one from the lesson or find one in our <a href=\"https:\/\/app.engoo.com\/materials\/describing-pictures\/P_HriMOnEeifo0O-yMP42w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Describing Pictures<\/a>&nbsp;series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, pick something or someone in the image and have your student guess what you\u2019ve picked. However, they can only ask yes-no questions. For instance, let\u2019s say you pick this image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/18014245\/extra_time_games-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A couple enjoying a picnic in a park on a sunny day\" class=\"wp-image-6384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/18014245\/extra_time_games-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/18014245\/extra_time_games-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/18014245\/extra_time_games-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/18014245\/extra_time_games-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/18014245\/extra_time_games-840x560.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let's assume you picked the grapes in the lower part of the image. You start the game by saying, \"I spy with my little eye something green.\" Your student then must guess what you picked by asking questions like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\"Is it round?\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\"Is there more than one?\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\"Can you eat it?\"<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Players usually say, \u201cI spy with my little eye,\u201d but for beginners, it\u2019s better to stick with just \u201cI spy ~\u201d or simply, \u201cI see ~\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%91%8B_Thats_it_for_now\"><\/span>\ud83d\udc4b That\u2019s it for now!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next time you've finished the lesson a bit early, consider one of these games to fill the remaining time. No matter which you choose, we hope these activities will make those last minutes of the lesson more enjoyable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, be sure to read our article on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tutor.engoo.com\/blog\/teaching-beginners-and-kids\/free-online-word-games-to-recommend-to-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online word games<\/a>&nbsp;for even more fun and educational suggestions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You reach the end of the lesson, but there is way too much time left! \ud83d\ude31 What do you do?
