Teachers and creators have made hundreds of board games to help students practise their English in
class. Many of these take the form of PDFs, JGP files or PNGs to print and play and can be found on
top
sites such as ISL
Collective, Busy
Teacher and many others. But what do you do when your class is online? Or if you don't want
to waste paper printing? Here is one solution:
1. The file format must be an image, such as a JPG, PNG or WEBP and ideally Letter or A4 size and
portrait.
Find
and
download the game you want
to
play and, if
it's a PDF file or DOC, take a screen-shot
or
convert it
to an image file. There are many free converters on line.
2. Replace the "Get a Job Board Game" by clicking Load Game to open the your game image here. There
are pieces
you
can drag and a die you can roll (or get the students to roll a real one). Now your
Skype/Zoom/Meeting classes will now have one more option! By
the
way, we collect no information and image files are not uploaded to any server. The images stay on
your
computer/device.
3. If the game comes out the wrong shape, drag it from the
bottom
right corner to resize for your screen. Happy Playing!
