How to overcome fear with the help of games in the elt classroom

People's reaction to fear can be either positive or negative; it can either give the necessary energy to deal with a situation, or it can transform into a hindrance between people and their goals. This thesis examines the destroying effect of fear in students, which is one of the causes of ineffective performance in school. Games and playing fill much of the time of children's lives, and contribute grately to the development of their social, physical and intellectual skills. As children react to games instinctively, having at the same time the opportunity to give free way to their emotions, I will support the theory according to which educational games help in overcoming children's fear, resulting in an eventful teaching with an easy to manage class.
