In our English Speaking Practices for youth from Kherson and Mariupol, the board game “Clue” has become a surprise favorite. We’ve played it more than three times now with our friend, a VSPP, Alana Underwood, and each session is more than just a game - it’s a powerful way to practice English. While trying to figure out who committed the crime, students naturally practice key language skills: asking questions, boosting and improving vocabulary, understanding grammar and listening and of course, speaking.
Why students love it so much and what makes Clue special is the atmosphere it creates - laughter, teamwork, and real conversation. It brings students together, even online and helps them learn in a relaxed, creative way.
