🎮 Games for the classroom

Project these onto a smartboard for whole-class participation, or set them as individual tablet/computer practice. All games work offline once loaded.

💡 Classroom tips

  • Project games on the smartboard and call students up one at a time to pick the answer. Builds confidence and turns vocabulary into a shared game.
  • Print three copies per student for any worksheet — they redo it across the week until perfect.
  • Pair memory-match in teams of two — one student reads the native word aloud (use the 🔊 button) and the partner picks the English meaning.
  • Use spelling bee as a weekly competition. Track score across the week with a small leaderboard.
  • Encourage parents to do flashcards at home — five minutes a day before bedtime drives serious retention.
