Hi everyone! Does anyone know of a board game designed for ESL/EFL?
Thought it might be fun.

English Tycoon
UnScramble It
A Day at School

Or where you looking for something commercial? There's a game called Word Up! that is designed for ESL. (I think that's the name.)

I was right! Here's the Word Up! link

It's pretty easy to design your own board games around a grammar point. Design the board in PowerPoint, as well as cards to draw. Or you can just use a series of questions which students must answer, and use a board from Snakes and Ladders, for example.

I posted a board game on my site. Students practice the present perfect tense in terms of experiences. You can find it at:

Good luck!
