"Game On!" How to Practice English While You Drive

part of the 'Learning Easier' series.

Are you looking for ways to practice your English in the car with your kids or partner? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Here are five fun activities to help you and your family learn English while having fun and making the most of your car time. Before we start with our fabulous list don't forget to register in my email list so you never miss any new posts coming from me.

1. 'I spy with my little eye' game

'I Spy with My Little Eye' is a classic car game that can help you and your children strengthen your English vocabulary. You can also pass the time on a long drive. To play, one person should be the 'spy', and the other players should guess what the spy is looking for. The spy can look out the window and pick an object that they see, then give a clue about the object, such as its color, shape, size, or location. The other players then guess what the object is. If a player guesses correctly, they become the new spy and choose the next object. This game can be a fun and creative way to pass the time and practice all the words that you have learned in English. You even might learn some new ones.

2. Word Chain

Word chain is a fun game that can be played with friends and family of all ages. The objective of the game is to create a chain of related words, in which each word begins with the last letter of the previous word. To play, each person takes a turn saying a word that is related to the previous word. This can be anything from animals to objects to verbs, as long as each word starts with the last letter of the previous. The game continues until there are no more words to be added. To make it more challenging, you can set a time limit for each person to come up with the next word or impose a rule that each word must start with a certain letter. Have fun and enjoy creating an interesting word chain while in the car.

Here is an example of a word chain:

'car, rino, octopus, stairs, space, Easter ...'

To make it more challenging, you can set a time limit for each person to come up with the next word.

3. Listen to English Radio

Listening to English radio is a great way to practice your English. You can find English-language radio stations in most areas, or you can listen to online radio stations. This is a great way to hear new words and practice pronunciation.

4. Tell Stories

Storytelling is a great way to practice your English. You can tell stories that are based on your own experiences or you can make up stories together. This is a great way to use your imagination and practice your English at the same time. If your English level is not good you can make up short silly stories with the words you know. Sometimes they won't even make sense but they will be funny. Here is an example of a beginner telling a story:

'There is a dog. The dog is small. It is alone in the house. The weather is stormy. The dog is scared. Boom. Thunder. Oh uh! The dog fainted.'

5. Sing Along

Singing along to your favorite songs is a great way to practice your English. It’s also a lot of fun! Pick some songs that you all know and sing along together. This is a great way to practice pronunciation and vocabulary in the car. My personal favourite songs are Disney songs such as 'Frozen' and 'Moana' which children are already familiar with and it so much easier for them to learn since they love them already. You can pick any song you want and trust me, it will make a huge difference to yours and your children's fluency.

Trust me, these games and activities will make a huge difference to yours and your children's fluency.

And here you have it!
