TIC-TAC-TOE

When I was in high school I took a complementary called instrumental English, and in a class, the teacher told us we had to create a book with a story for kids, and my group chose "Red Ridding Hood". We drawed and painted the pictures and translate the story from spanish to english. I learned new vocabulary with that experience. So, I think tic-tac-toe game is a good way to learn and to teach, in this case, English. As a student I learned a lot with that way of teaching, and as a teacher I can use different ways to teach, with games like tic-tac-toe, or with songs if they translate it from english to spanish. If I make a play for my students and they act it, they can learn new vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. I think this is another way to teach English.
As teachers we have to be creative because if we talk and talk and do the same every class, the students may not learn and they get bored.
So games are ok to teach grammar!!!!
