There’s a lot of great reasons out there for why you might need printable games for your language learning! Maybe you need a game fast and don’t have the time for shopping or shipping. Maybe you want to make a lesson more hands-on, by cutting out and preparing a game together with your children or students. Maybe you’re looking for something more affordable than what’s on the shelves. Or maybe you just want to try the game and see if you like it. In any case, I can be the one to help you. I have many different types of printable games on this site. And best of all, most of them are designed for enriching and reviewing any target language. In other words, no matter what language you are studying, you can use these games.

More About The Games & How They Work
Most of my games stimulate active learning and ask for creative production from the players. That is to say, players will NOT passively receive a limited number of new vocabulary or phrases while playing, but rather, they will be prompted to think up a word or construct a phrase that fits a topic or category and say it. In this way, the players’ prior knowledge is the inexhaustible resource, and players learn directly from each other. The more diverse the group of players is, and the more frequently they play, the more knowledge will be exchanged and retained.

Tips For Preparing Your Printable Language Learning Games
I recommend printing your game onto a high-quality cardstock, rather than normal printer paper. You can see me do this in the video above. My local print shop charges by the sheet and has cardstock available if needed, so that’s very convenient. Alternatively, you could buy a large package of cardstock for 10-15 dollars. Cardstock is a bit thicker and more durable than normal paper. Additionally, you can laminate your cards or slide them into plastic sleeves (also known as deck protectors) to achieve a similar effect: more durable and long lasting.
In this video, I didn’t print the backs onto the cards yet. I don’t think the backs were ready at that time and I was still testing something. But the backs are ready now. However, when printing the backs on, it is tricky to make sure they line up perfectly with the fronts. Oftentimes, there can be 1-2 millimeters of difference or more. This has to do with the way the printer you’re using aligns and feeds paper through. So while the cards are perfectly positioned within the PDF document, when you print them out into physical form, it could be difficult to line them up perfectly, which is hard to avoid. One potential solution could be to print the fronts and backs out on separate pages (one cardstock and one sticker sheet), cut them out, and then affix them to each other, aligning them perfectly, but for me, usually printing on the back and front of one sheet is good enough.
Recommended Games
My best-selling series is called Language Guardians. It is the perfect choice for general audiences, casual gamers, and mixed age or mixed ability groups. It plays in a similar way to UNO or Crazy Eights, so it is very easy to learn how to play it.
My latest and greatest game is called Heading Into Language Land. This one is a bit more of a roleplaying game, but it is not extremely complex. You will build a “board” using cards as spaces, move a pawn around, roll a dice, and speak about different categories in order to build a team of allies or defeat enemies that you encounter. We use this game most often in our online gaming groups, so if you’re interested to game with us online, choose this one!
