Fun Games To Learn Business English

Not only children have fun learning new English vocabulary, but adults also have a right to learn with joy. This article will tell you how to make learning enjoyable and efficient even for busy business people.

Vocabulary and Grammar Quiz

Learning English with your colleagues may bring not only efficiency but also the spirit of a united team. Come up with a quiz about English vocabulary and grammar to evaluate the level and brush up on a few things that might have been forgotten since graduation. For example, you may describe a new word and give a multiple choice or limit the time for the answer. Let the teams take a few seconds to make a decision and compete for the best answer.

Question: We use this phrasal verb when the negotiations come to an end.

Answers:
A. Make a deal
B. Bargain with somebody
C. Kill the deal
D. Fail the agreement

The right answer is “A”.

20 Questions

This game is perfect for any occasion, no matter if you play in teams or individually. One of the players should think of a new word and let the others interview him or her with simple “yes & no” questions. If they succeed to guess the word within 20 questions, you may swap the turns. Otherwise, you might as well extend the number of questions or reveal the secret term.

For example, the word “CEO”.

Possible questions: Is it a person?
Do we have it in our company?
Does it bring profit?

1-minute Presentations

Combine practicing English vocabulary and public speaking. Create a table with the topics of your professional field and let each employee pick one. Once the topic is chosen, the participant has a few seconds to prepare a mock presentation which should not last more than a minute. The main idea is to learn how to plan your speech well and present it in a foreign language. One minute may seem too short, but in fact, for the facilitator, it sometimes feels like an hour.
