Boggle - ESL Board Games

Boggle is one of the most popular word games in North America.

In this game, a number of dice are used, but the dice have letters instead of numbers. When the dice are shaken and played, a grid of 16 letters is presented to the player. With these letters, the player must make words from the connected letters. The letters can be connected horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.

For ESL, this game is wonderful for vocabulary practice. It also enhances creative thinking.  

I play a similar game on the whiteboard. In this game, I write a grid of random letters and have the students create words by connecting letters.
