The rebus puzzle will improve the sense of learning , as well as the word puzzle.
Lots of great ideas from group games that connect with different type of learners. To individual games that can be done on a small scale. Works well if different personalities of teaches too. You don’t have to be a loud boisterous teacher to be engaging.
