Gamifying the class!

Have you ever thought about gamifying your lessons? personally I've never thought about that. But then after reading Digital Play by Graham Stanley I realized that games can also teach English to students. There are a lot of games students can play, according to their age or interests. Some are for the computer (you have to download them or you can play them on-line) and some others can be downloaded to mobile phones or tablets.
In this particular case I've tried a game called Evony. It is a role playing game, you have to create a character and, with other players from all around the world, you have to complete some tasks.

Not talking about the fact that playing this game is interesting and motivating, it's a good game to practice conversation and vocabulary. In this game you can communicate with other characters by chatting, and students can learn a lot from other players. Also the game includes a lot of vocabulary, and also instructions which are obviously in English, so we can say that is a good way of learning.
