Update January 2021 The game was updated and should now work on older browsers. Also, the audio should work on all devices.

This is a simple game for practicing question forms in English. The aim is to give ESL students practice in the correct use of question words, specifically: "What", "When", "Where", "Who", "How", "Do", "Is", "Are", "Can", "Does" and "Would".

There are 3 parts to the game. The first part aims to practice the different question words in a clear context. You are presented with an image to represent meaning and an incomplete sentence. You have to click on one of 5 words to complete the phrase. The second part aims to reinforce the link between meaning and question form. You are presented with a full question and then have to click on the image that matches. The third part displays responses to the questions. You are show different questions and then have to move the answers to match.

The second and third parts include a countdown timer; the purpose of this is to add some excitement or challenge to the game. My worry here is that without the timer students might find the game boring. If you dislike the timer, you can remove it by clicking on the settings button in the bottom left.

In this game learning will, hopefully, take place through exposure and use of question language. Students will use the language in a context of questions and answers. In doing so, it is hoped that this will reinforce an association between question meaning and language.

There are 2 difficulty levels to choose from - easy and difficult. There is not much difference between them, but they do use different content. Each level has 5 sets of 8 questions and it is also possible to use all sets by clicking on "all". The sets cover a good range or question types: each typically has one question starting with each of the following "What", "When", "Where", "Who" and "How". Then 3 questions starting with any from the following "Do", "Is", "Are", "Can", "Does" and "Would". There is some progression in terms of difficulty as you move through the set, but that is typically more about the easy questions being at the start.

This game uses a different development framework to all the other content on this site. So, it is possible that some things may not work properly or at all. Please email me with any feedback by using the contact form, or you can leave a comment below.

This is a game for practicing English sentence formation. It is primarily aimed at ESL (English as a second language) students. To play, you select a set of content to play with, and then make sentences by clicking on word bubbles. As you make sentences, the bubbles disappear and slowly the board is cleared.

The idea behind this game is to have players practice forming sentences in a fun way. Rather than just click on boxes or words to make sentences, which can get a bit boring, this game tries to make it more engaging. This is done by making it similar to a bejeweled type of game. In that genre, you have a board of gems, candies or other items and you have to match them, make them disappear and in doing so, slowly clear the whole board. The idea with this game is to have similar game play, except instead of matching jewels, players form English sentences. Bubbles are used to enclose individual words so that they can be combined in different ways. They are particularly good for this purpose as they are appealing while also hollow so as to allow the words to be displayed clearly.

Simply forming sentences, which useful in some ways, can be criticized as being dry and lacking in context. It is questionable as to whether a player is really learning much or acquiring language if they are just forming sentences abstractly. I think that language acquisition really needs a context of meaning that the language can be attached to. If you take the example of the phrase, 'He is turning on the TV'. If you can get a learner to practice forming this sentence, then it can be useful to re-enforce grammar and also the collocation of 'turning on' with 'TV'. However, it is vastly more useful if the learner can practice forming the sentence while also being presented with an image that elicits the meaning or idea of a guy turning the TV on. When a player forms the sentence in the matching context, the language is associated with the meaning and the language acquisition is much more effective. With this in mind, this game shows an image and requires the player to form a correct sentence which matches the meaning shown in the picture.

Forming the sentences in the correct way, getting correct forms of verbs etc, can be quite difficult. To make it somewhat easier, this game offers feedback to guide the player. As the bubbles are clicked, the sentence formed shows at the bottom of the screen. When small mistakes, such as missing words or incorrect word order, are made, red marks appear at the bottom to indicate this and to show the player how to change the sentence formation. Bigger mistakes, such as getting the verb or first word wrong, are also highlighted. Although, it's quite difficult to give an accurate correction for such mistakes and so these mistakes as simply underlined in red.

Playing the game is, hopefully, quite straightforward. You click the bubbles to select the words, re-click to deselect a word and you even click and drag the mouse over bubbles to select more quickly. When selecting bubbles, you can only select adjacent ones - as that's how this kind of game works - and to help with this, possible bubbles are highlighted in yellow.

There a couple of modes to play in. Normal mode can be quite tricky and so an easy mode is also possible. Easy mode fades out all the bubbles except the ones you must select. Then you simply have to select the remaining bubbles in the correct order. It's also possible to get a hint by clicking on the 'hint' button. When you do this, the game draws a line specifically showing the correct answer. This displays once right at the start, so as to guide the player as to how to play the game.

The game doesn't have scoring in the way that other games do, but it does keep track of the time taken to complete a set of content. At the end, a high score table is shown and players who complete a set fastest are shown at the top.

This is a basic sentence formation game for learning English - specifically ESL (English as a second language). You look at the image and the click on the options to form a matching phrase.

The idea behind this game is to allow players to practice making correct English sentences in an engaging way. An image is presented with a 3 to 5 possible options below. Players then click on the options to form a sentence that matches the meaning of the image. So, if the image is of a girl playing basketball, the correct phrase could be "She is playing basketball". It is hoped that by forming sentences in this way - with matching image content - players can learn, practice and re-enforce language. It is important that images are shown, as they provide the context or meaning that the constructed phrases are associated with.

A few game elements have been included to try and make it more engaging. As players choose the correct response from the options, they accumulate score which can be compared at the end of the game in a high score table. Also, there is an element of streaking - getting many answers correct in a row. As players continue to get correct answers in a row (without any errors) score accumulates more quickly. Also the speeds up and after 4 or 5 correct successive correct answers, a timer starts to count down. When the timer runs out, the players streak comes to an end. It is hoped that with this a more challenging and fun element is added to the game. While it is possible to go through an entire play without making any mistakes, the timer makes this quite difficult as the speed continues to increase.

The way the scoring works is that you get a basic score for each correct answer. This basic score is then multiplied as you get successive correct answers and your streak gets longer.

Like a few of the other games, this one uses phrase content which is selected on the second screen. The user can choose which kind of phrases they want to make from a list of about 20, including things like telling the time, prepositional phrases and basic present continuous phrases.
