For many of the games, you'll need to provide different coloured game tokens, dice, and game chips.  Distribute the games as printed, or colour and laminate them for future use. 

Educational board games are often expensive and sometimes limited in scope.  School materials budgets aren't getting any more generous and value is an important consideration when making a purchase for the classroom.  The goal in writing this book is to provide educators with a wide variety of game types in many different skill areas for a reasonable price.  These games can be used exactly as they are printed (some photocopying may be required), or you can photocopy the boards, colour them, laminate them, and store them in file folders.  These games make a great addition to learning centers or as take-home activities.  As with any tool, every educator who picks up this book will use it differently.  

50 Quick-Play Language Games is designed to instruct and reinforce a variety of basic language skills.  At least two games are included for each skill in the book, and two different skill levels are addressed within each skill.  For example, the first game in the Describing section addresses very basic describing skills appropriate for early elementary students.  The next Describing game requires students to use slightly more advanced skills and would be appropriate for use with middle elementary students.

I hope you and your students enjoy playing the games in this book, and that your time together not only results in increased language skills for your students but also in positive social interactions for everyone involved.  

Have fun!
