1. Introduction 

When there exists classroom discipline problems in a class, teachers generally accuse unruly students of disrupting the class. However, they should know the fundamental reason for being unmotivated for the lesson is that teachers failed to attract students’ attention. Teachers must raise awareness of what they expect from children to do in their classes. They always expect them to be quiet, to sit on desks in rows without moving around and to listen carefully. But these expectations cannot be realized because kids are so energetic and naughty in our classes. So it is difficult to keep it throughout the whole class. Teachers need to be sure that they are teaching their lessons by taking students’ characteristics into consideration and their immediate needs such as enjoying themselves in the classroom. Then the teacher should have the ability to design different effective activities that children enjoy to attract their attention.  That is to say teacher should use games in English teaching classroom. Modern pedagogy has taken games as one of the most important teaching means which can transfer knowledge, develop skills and ability in languages teaching. More and more attention has been paid to games. In this thesis, I want to discuss this good way to arouse children’s interest in English learning that could make students keep physical and psychological health.文献综述
