Love, Romance and Dating ESL Games and Worksheets

In this intriguing love and dating worksheet, students practice love and relationship vocabulary. First, students find ten love and relationship words in a word search. Students then use the love and relationship words to complete sentences. Next, students complete sentences about love and relationships with their own ideas and then compare their answers with a partner. After that, students write down two additional adjectives that can be used to describe each noun. Following that, students underline the correct word in each sentence to complete a love story. Finally, students ask and answer questions about love and relationships with a partner.

In this enjoyable love story game, students match gap-fill sentences from a love story with related vocabulary and then race to put the story in order. First, students play a pelmanism game where they match and complete sentences from a love story with related vocabulary. In pairs, students take turns turning over one vocabulary card and one gap-fill sentence card. If the word completes the sentence, the student reads the sentence aloud, keeps the two cards and has another turn, e.g. 'Once upon a time, there was a single girl named Lily'. If the two cards don't match, the student turns them back over. The student with the most pairs of cards at the end of the game wins. Next, pairs race to order the sentences to form a love story. Students place their pairs of cards face-up on the table and write the words into the gap-fill sentences. Students then order the sentence to form a love story by numbering the sentence cards. The first pair to do this wins. Afterwards, go through the order of the story with the class and review the related vocabulary.

In this intriguing love and relationships activity, students consider what makes them feel loved and valued in a romantic relationship, share the information with their classmates, and discuss their ideas. Students begin by writing down eight things that make them feel loved and valued in a romantic relationship. Next, students share the information with a partner and discuss why those things make them feel loved. In groups of four, students then discuss the most popular categories for feeling loved, e.g. communication, trust, quality time, support, understanding, etc. Students then write the most popular categories from their group at the top of a chart and put examples underneath. Afterwards, each group reports their ideas to the class who listen and give their opinions on the categories and examples. Finally, write the most popular categories on the board and discuss them as a class, including the reasons for feeling loved and how it's important to consider these when choosing a partner.
