Game for vocabulary practice

In my experience : games are more enjoyable , less tense and equally motivating. All students were active and enjoyed the games. Some of their comments were as follows : “very interesting and motivating” , “learning can be a lot of fun”. The element of games among the groups made them concentrate and think intensively. Group contents tend on the whole to get better results than individual ones.
