The article is dedicated to adapting traditional games in English lessons to using them during classes on Zoom video conferencing platform, based on the author's own experience. The development of technology in the modern world allows us to take our classes beyond our classrooms and to conduct them where we consider it convenient. This makes it possible not to stop the learning process even in the context of a pandemic or under some other conditions that prevent our students from attending traditional classes. Using Zoom to learn and teach English also provides new opportunities to turn the ordinary tasks we are used to during our classes into unusual ones. Games occupy an important place in the process of mental development of pupils at different levels of language acquisition. They entertain, help to revise and recycle vocabulary, improve grammar skills, tune in for a lesson, etc. At the same time, distance learning in the spring of 2020 in Ukraine showed the need to use technologies and the Internet during the educational process, which in its turn led to the need to find optimal conditions for studying in order not to interrupt it in the circumstances of a world pandemic. Excessive use of technology has negative effects on pupils. In such conditions, games become not only a tool for learning, but also a means of achieving maximum result with minimal fatigue of students. The author of the article adapted 4 games and tested their effectiveness during distance education of pupils of Kharkiv specialized school #11. These studies in adapting games, which can be used in Zoom, can be continued as they make online English lessons interesting and productive. There are many other games that can be adapted during online learning.
