Why use games?
Games are fun and children love them . Children learn to co-operate with others and work with rules by playing games.
What are games ?
Language games are not activities mainly aimed to break the ice between students or to kill time. Byrne (1995) gave the definition to games as a form of play governed by rules. They should be enjoyed and fun. They are not just a diversion, a break from routine activities, but a way of getting the learner to use the language in the course of the game. Similarly, Jill Hadfield (1990) defined games as “an activity with rules, a goal and an element of fun.” （是一種有規則、有目標和有趣味的活動。）
