Abstract
This paper presents some ideas on how to use games for the learning of vocabulary in the context of communication activities so as to give students the maximum opportunity of practicing lexical items in situations in which they feel a real need of using the words being studied. This is very important in as much as the strategies suggested "create a sense of a need for a word" (Allen, 1989). This approach is quite different from that observed in many English classes.
