If you are looking for ways to introduce new titles to your students and get them to do some language activities at the same time, check out our two reading games. They are ideal for giving students a flavour of the books on offer, and they are also short fun warm-up or filler activities to try in class.
19: Change your name
- You can play this game individually or in groups.
- Follow the instructions and ask your students to choose a name they really like.
- Read the descriptions to find out about these characters and their stories.
- Then match the characters to their stories and talk about them with your students.
2o: First Lines Game
This is a simple but fun game. Students either individually or in teams have to match the first lines of a selection of classic novels with their titles. Then ask them to guess what the story is about.
