Hotseat - FREE

Hotseat – an exciting game that’s perfect for English teachers and parents who want to boost their students’ or children’s confidence while improving their English skills.

 

To play, simply divide the class into two or three teams and have each team send a student to the front to take the ‘hotseat.’ The student then has to guess words written on the board behind them based on their teammates’ descriptions, with the aim of guessing as many words as possible before time runs out.

 

Hotseat is a fantastic ESL speaking activity for any class because it’s not only incredibly fun, but it also provides a perfect opportunity for English learners to practice speaking out loud. As students describe the words to their teammate in the hotseat, they often speak over one another, which is great for shy students who may feel more comfortable speaking up in a noisy and exciting environment.

So why wait? Bring some energy and excitement to your English classroom or at-home learning with Hotseat today and help your English learners improve their English skills while having a blast!
