✈️ Learn English the Fun Way: My Most Popular ESL Games & Travel-Themed Resources

Let’s face it — most people don’t want to learn English just to pass an exam.
They want to travel, chat confidently, make friends abroad, order cocktails on a beach, and maybe… not panic at immigration.

If that’s you — you’re in the right place.

👋 Hi, I’m Gary — better known online as The ESL Traveling Teacher.
I’ve taught thousands of students (and coached a fair few teachers) using one simple principle:

👉 Make English real, fun, and unforgettable.

And because I’ve lived in China for nearly 10 years and now I’m off to another country in Asia, I’ve built resources that help you use English out in the wild — not just in the classroom.

🎲 1. “Race to the Idiom” – The British Travel Game

This one’s a favourite in class — especially with teens and adults.
Players race around a map, landing on places like London, Blackpool, or Brighton, and matching British idioms to hilarious real-life situations.

“Why’s he got a face like thunder?”
“Because he missed his bus to the airport.”

Expect laughs, learning, and lots of speaking practice.

🧳 2. “English for Travel” Survival Packs

I designed these when I realised most students could say “I’m fine, thank you” but couldn’t ask for extra towels at a hotel.

Each pack covers a real-life travel scenario:

• 🛫 At the Airport

• 🏨 At the Hotel

• 🚕 In a Taxi

• 🧭 Getting Directions

• 💬 Small Talk with Strangers

Each card includes essential phrases, example dialogues, and visual prompts — perfect for self-study or class use.

🛝 3. Baamboozle Games That Actually Get Students Talking

If you haven’t used Baamboozle, you’re missing out.
It’s like a digital board game you can customise for any topic — and I’ve made dozens of travel and idiom-based versions that keep students engaged.

My classes go from “Umm…” to “I want to go first!” in about 30 seconds.

Great for:

• Teen & adult learners

• Online or in-person use

• Quick, fun warmups before grammar brain-fry

📍 4. “Where Am I?” Visual Speaking Prompts

These are bold, pop-art style visuals I made to help students describe places and give directions.

You’ll see:

• A street market in Vietnam

• A British train station

• A lost passport scenario (yep, happened to me once)

Each card comes with speaking questions, key phrases, and vocabulary support.
Students LOVE them — and so do teachers who need 5-minute speaking fillers.

🧠 5. My Idiom Bundle: 150 British Idioms with Visuals & Games

It started as a side project. Now it’s a best-seller.

I’ve taken 150 of the best British idioms, added cheeky visuals, bold colours, and created:

• Speaking cards

• Printable classroom games

• A digital workbook

• A matching certificate (because… why not?)

“Throw in the towel”?
“Spill the beans”?
“Hit the road”?
You’ll learn them all — and how to actually use them in conversation.
