I Made Playing Cards to Teach English

I think this is a wonderful idea. I have spent some time in the past teaching TOEFL and found that children enjoyed games more than anything else. Gamification of learning seems to me to be the way forward.

Using a well-known game such as UNO is a great idea for the reasons you state - not as much time wasted on explaining complicated instructions and children can help each other if needed.

Gamification is definitely a powerful tool! I also make Kahoot quizzes because they make learning feel like a game show. But I have fallen out of favor with Kahoot, because they have started to remove many previously free features.

But above all else, finding a way to keep students interested and engaged in the learning process is key!
