CLASROOM LANGUAGES
(72 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Classroom Language
Classroom language means the words and expressions we use in the classroom every day. It helps teachers and students communicate easily and understand each other. Learning classroom language is very important for students because it helps them follow instructions, ask questions, and take part in lessons.
In English class, we hear many useful phrases. The teacher may say, “Open your book,” “Listen carefully,” or “Repeat after me.” Students may ask, “Can I go out?” or “How do you say this in English?” These expressions help the class run smoothly and make learning more natural.
Using classroom language helps students become more confident when they speak English. They can understand what the teacher says and answer correctly. It also helps them use polite words such as please, thank you, and excuse me.
Classroom language is not just about learning English — it is also about using English to learn!

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game helps students remember classroom expressions in a fun way! The teacher says the topic “Classroom Language,” and students take turns saying one expression each — “Sit down,” “Open your book,” “Listen carefully,” and so on. If a student repeats a phrase or cannot think of one, they say “Boom!” and sit down.
This game helps students:
Practice classroom expressions quickly and easily.
Remember useful instructions from the teacher.
Speak more confidently in front of others.
Enjoy learning through movement and repetition.
Teachers can also show action cards or mime the instructions (like standing up or raising a hand), and students can guess or say the correct phrase aloud.
