Which games would be best for 1-2 kids learning English?
I am wondering about pictionary…?.
clue?…. Board games (not computer games or running games)
Can anyone give me some ideas? I haven’t played these games myself in ages. I can’t remember what you have to do so I can’t imagine how much English needs to be involved. I need a game where SOME English is necessary to play so that they learn, but not so much that it is overwhelming! (Example… we play “Guess Who?” but that is getting old! I live and teach overseas and want to send away for something new… what should I get?
Nothing electronic.
Most of the cards in Sneeze do not require reading. The cards that do require reading are pretty simple – for example, “WINDY DAY. Change the direction of the wind and draw an “AND NOW” card.

The cards in History’s Mysteries have “flavor text” that is not needed for game play. The words on the cards that are necessary for game play are “Fact,” “Fiction,” and the name of the card (The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, etc.).

The Settlers of Catan is mostly language-free, but the development cards require some (not a lot of) reading. It’s a great game, but the drawbacks are: only 3-4 players (a separate expansion is required for 5-6 players), and it’s for older kids (maybe for a fairly bright 8-9 year old, but otherwise 10 and up).
