This is a simple game for learning basic English vocabulary. Primarily, it is aimed at ESL (English as a second language) learners, but other learners may find it useful too. To play, just listen to the words and click on the matching images. The game gets faster as you progress and if you do not click quickly enough, then the game will end. You can choose which vocab to practice by clicking on a set in the content screen. There are about 30 sets of content that cover most of the basic vocabulary items. A list of all the vocab used in this game is available for download here.

At the first screen you can click on 'Fast' or 'Slow'. These both lead to the same game; the difference is that the 'slow' option does not have the countdown timer. You can also choose to review a set of content by clicking on the 'review' option. This screen simply displays the images and text while playing the audio. At the end of the game there is also a high scores screen which shows the best players for each set of content according to time period in which the game was completed.

This is a mini-game to learn and practice telling the time in English. Students can interact with a clock to change the time and there is also a mini-game which involves matching a time phrase to a clock.

The first screen shows an analog clock displaying a time - initially 9 o'clock - and a pane below showing the matching time phrase. You can change the time on the clock by moving the clock hands or by clicking on the arrows at the bottom. As you change the time on the clock, the time phrase below gets updated. Moving the hour hand changes the time really quickly, but the minute hand is slower. It is only possible to display times at intervals of 5 minutes, and so the clock hands will align to the nearest 5 minutes.

On the second screen there is a mini-game. A text pane in the middle displays a time phrase eg. 3 o'clock. Then 3 clocks are shown above; each with a different time. To play the game, you have to click on the clock that matches the time phrase. This repeats about 20 times with increasingly precise times being shown. In order to complete the game, you have to choose the correct clock every time. If you make a mistake, then the game is lost and you have to start again from the beginning.

While playing the game, a cat is displayed in the bottom left of the screen, with a bridge infront of her. As you guess the clocks, the cat progresses across the bridge to the other side of the screen. But if you make a mistake, then the cat falls and returns to the beginning. There is nothing significant about the cat; it is just meant to be a visual progress aid. There is also a score box in the bottom right. Score is awarded based on how quickly you pick the correct clock. If you take too long, then no points are awarded at all.

The target language is time phrases, specifically:

Half past, quarter past, quarter to, five past/to, ten past/to, twenty past/to, twenty-five past/to.

These were chosen as they are the main phrases used to tell the time. I did not use more precise times, such as "2 minutes past", as this could have made the game overly complicated. Five minute intervals are really enough for most situations. Alternative wordings, such as "twelve thirty" or "eight forty-five" were avoided so as to keep things simple.

The aim of this game is to practice, or initally explore and learn, telling the time in English. The target audience is low level English learners. Telling the time, while important, is quite a straight forward skill and most elementary level learners should be able to tell the time quite easily. The first screen aims to present the target language, while the mini-game on the second screen is a means to practice and re-enforce the language.

This game is made with Javascript with the CreateJS framework. While primarily aimed at desktops, it should work on mobile phones and tablets. The reasons for remaking this game from the old 'clock' flash version are, firstly, that the old version was not very good - the appearance was not all that appealing, the game displayed in a small window and there was not much variance in the clocks being show. Secondly, the old version still seemed quite popular, despite being taken off the home page of the site and being buried with a bunch of other old games. Finally, telling the time is quite an essential skill for speaking english in everyday life and time phrases are really quite easy to represent visually. Learning to tell the time in English is something that anyone should be able to do by themselves. And so resources to do help with this, should be free and easily available online.

Update January 2021 Changed the game so that it automatically plays the next set of clothes rather than returning to the selection screen. You can still select a set to use by clicking on the exit button and returning to the select screen.

This is a mini game for practicing English, specifically ESL (English as a second language). The content is clothing and clothing related vocabulary, with target phrases such as "he is wearing a hat" or "she is wearing a dress". The language is quite simple and so this game is really aimed at beginner level learners or young children. I tried to include some more unusual items, such as "mittens" and "baseball cap", but generally the language is very simple - "pants", "T-shirt", "shoes", "coat".

To play, you simple have to read the sentence and then drag and drop the correct clothing item over the correct person. So if the target phrase is "He is wearing a jacket", then you have to move the 'jacket' image over the man. Sometimes colors are included to make the instructions more specific - in the winter scene both are wearing coats and so differentiation by colors is necessary.

Before each game screen, there is a preview screen in which you can review or double check the vocab items that will be used. It is hoped that users can learn or review any new or less familiar items before beginning the game. Then once the game starts seeing and moving the clothes in context can reinforce the meaning of the words.

To try and make the game more interesting, a timer was added to give an element of challenge. The timer gets faster as you progress, especially if you complete the sets quickly. While some people dislike this, I think it's useful to keep engagement and encourage repeat playing. There is also a score system and high scores screen to encourage competition. To get a really high score, you need to complete the first set of content really quickly. If you do this, then 3 gold circles will appear next to the score box. After that, the score you get for each correct item is increase; although, the timer also runs down much more quickly.

There are a total of 7 sets of content and each has a different theme - Summer, Winter, Spring, Students, Formal, Casual and Beach. I tried to make these as comprehensive as possible so they cover a wide range of clothes. The themes of Fall and Nightwear didn't make it in as they didn't have enough difference to the other sets. extra stuff - speed etc, sets, num items, pants, Tshirt

The word 'pants' was chosen over 'trousers'. This is not so much because I favour American English over British, but rather because I think 'trousers' is less widely used and is more likely to lead to confusion. Most people will understand what you mean when you say pants, but saying trousers might seem strange to some. For T-shirt, I went with the capital letter at the start. This is because it is how most textbooks spell the word.

The game is written in Javascript and uses the CreateJS framework. The scores table at the end is served from a NodeJS server on DigitalOcean.

: In addition to that there are listening exercises, English conversation activities to practice questions with 'When?', games for spelling, writing, reading, and more.

This app is great for learning the months of the year in English, but there are 10+ sections to practice the spelling of months, practice pronunciation and to ask about birthdays and holidays throughout the year. The games have sound to help with listening, pronunciation and getting used to natural speaker speed. There are grammar practice sections that provide additional practice and will help to solidify the vocabulary.

This game focuses on months of the year providing a learning section, spelling section, conversation practice games, and grammar games for students. There are different American holidays introduced in the game but students aren't required to spell or know the exact dates of the holidays to complete the activities. The vocabulary building games help students to learn the words, spelling, and increase their vocabulary retention by providing repetition through over ten fun activities and games. TAll of the listening activities are at natural speeds but students can listen to questions and answers as many times as they need to understand. These ESL learning applications follow the Speaking First ESL Curriculum - Unit 15 from MES English.

The questions and answers for this game are as follows.

A: When is Mother's Day?

B: It's in May.

A: Is Halloween in October?

Other notes:

For the spelling games, the students must enter the months with a capital letter or the game will reject the answer.

There is a strong focus on being able to form the wh- question with "when" in the grammar section of the application

The months are present with a picture of a calendar and the number of the month, so "January" is "1". This is the best way to have images without having the word spelled out already.

You can set this page as a homework task for a group of students; doing so will give you a record of who has completed the task. Visit the teacher's section for more information.

You can share this page by using the link below.

You can also link directly to a set of content by adding the title to the end of the URL. For example, the link below will start the game with the 'Is / Are' content automatically loaded.

For a list of direct links like this click here.

This is a game for learning simple English phrases. You look at the image and then click on the words to make a matching sentence. To score points, you have to watch the ball and click the words at exact moment the ball stops.

The aim of the game is to give students practice in and exposure to simple English sentences. Meaning conveyed through the images and the use of words to form sentences creates an association between the words and the meaning. To supplement this, audio is also played when the correct words are clicked. It is hoped that listening to the audio can also form an association between the sound of the words with the meaning and text.

The first screen that you see is the title screen. Here you can choose to play the game or just review the phrases. The next screen allows you to choose which type of sentences to practice with. There are 28 different sets to choose from and they have each have 20 phrases of varying lengths. The review screen is fairly simple: it shows the images and text. You can click on the audio button to the hear the text being read.

The game consists of two parts: the main part and a quick review part. In the main part, you are presented with an image, a hidden line of text and a few options. You have to look at the image and then choose the options to correctly form an appropriate sentence. The key part of the game is the motion of the ball. Watch the ball closely and try to click on the words at the moment that the ball stops on the empty text pane. If you time it just right, then you score points. The monsters will give you feedback on how well you are doing at this. You can simply disregard the ball and just click on the correct words; however, the game is really about getting the words right at the right time.

This is a game for learning English (ESL) with a specific focus on comparatives

The game uses pairs of images that show a difference. For example a tall person and a short person. These pairs are matched with the comparative form of an adjective. For example 'taller'. The comparative forms describe the meanings conveyed in the pairs of images.

The comparative form is always made by taking the image on the left as primary. The image on the left is always the subject of the sentence and the image on the right is always the object.

The game has 2 main screens. First there is a screen where you can view pairs of images and read a phrase that describes the comparison. You can click on adjacent images to scroll through them. The aim of this screen is to review the images and give an idea of the differences. On this screen you can also select which set of content you would like to use. To start the game, you click on the 'play' button.

The second of the main screens is the game screen. This shows pairs of images and requires you to make comparatives phrases to describe the differences. To make the phrases, you first have to select which adjective to use (remembering that the left image is always the subject). Then you are presented with 3 different forms of the adjective and you have to select which form is the accurate way to make the comparative. For example, the very first pair of images shows an elephant and a mouse. First, you choose the adjective 'big' and then you select the word 'bigger' to describe the difference. Once you have made 12 phrases, the set is complete and you get a score.

There are 6 different sets of content:

Each set of content has 12 pairs of images and a matching comparative phrase. The sets were chosen on the basis of how easy there were to represent visually. It would have been good to use comparative forms of adjectives like 'intelligent' or 'nice', but those are difficult to show in an image.

There is a scoring system in which you get points for correct answers. Getting answers correct in a row - without any mistakes - dramatically increases the score you get. There is also a timer through which you can get more score for answering quickly. Unlike other games, the timer does not cause a game over. A timer can make the game more interesting, but a lot of people email me feedback to say that it is often quite frustrating when it ends the game. The timer running out does however end the streak of correct answers. In this way, it is hoped that it can be engaging, but not so frustrating.

For comparative forms in English, the general rule is that words with 3 or more syllables use 'more' while shorter words just add 'er' or 'ier'. I did not think it was possible to teach or show this rule in the game; rather, students just have to know this and then look at or read the words. This game, like all the others, is really more about practicing things that students have already been taught in the classroom and is not really about instruction. I tried to use as many longer 'more' adjectives as I could; also, I managed to get good-better and bad-worse included.

It is hoped that learning can take place with this game by repeatedly forming comparative phrases. A student looks at the picture to stimulate the meaning, then through making the comparative phrase, the words are associated with the meaning.
