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.

This is a game for practicing present simple verbs in English. You look at the images and then click on the words to make phrases and sentences.

The target language is the vocab and grammar for present simple tense. The vocab comes from the range of verbs used in the game, while the grammar is practiced through the correct use of present simple for different subjects.

The aim of the game is to give students exposure and practice in present simple tense. The images give meaning and context. This meaning is then paired with the words and sounds to build associations. It is hoped that this facilitates learning and so students will become more competent with the target language.

There are four parts to the game. In the first part, you have to move the images to match the words and then in the second part you have to click the correct images to match the phrases. In the third part, you are presented with an image and you have to click on words to complete the sentence in the correct way. Specicially, you have to conjugate the verb correctly for the prompted subject. This is mainly just deciding whether to use 3rd person s. There is also practice with the correct use of negative forms. Finally, in the fourth part, you have to respond to the question forms in the approriate way.

The content used in the game is arranged in sets of 6 items. These sets are then grouped together into groups of 6 sets. When you play the game through once, you will see 6 sets of 6 items for a total of 36. However, there are many different sets of items and each time you play, you should get different items. In total there are 252 items divided into 42 sets of 6.

This game is for practicing past tense English verbs. It is intended to be used by ESL (English as a second language) students, to review past participles. The aim of this game is not to explain or communicate the concept of past tense, rather it is just to practice using past tense. The concept of past tense is difficult to illustrate visually and really is better explained by a teacher in a classroom. So, this game is really just intended as a tool to practice verbs and sentences in past tense. The language used is quite basic, but I think it covers almost all of the basic past tense verb forms (regular and irregular) and a few more difficult ones.

There are 3 different tasks in the game. In the first task, you simply have to drag the verbs to match present to past tense forms. The second task requires you to choose the correct word to complete the sentence. Finally, for the third task you have to reorder the phrase. This sequence repeats with different sets of content.

There is also a review screen in which you can see each verb with its past-participle and an image to convey the meaning.

The game uses a timer to give an element of challenge to the game. The timer can be turned of by clicking on the settings button in game.

There are 22 sets of content. Each set has 8 verbs, with a matching image and sentence to convey meaning and context. This gives a total of 176 items. These were selected from lists of basic verbs in English with a slight bias towards choosing irregular past tense forms; although, some verbs that were hard to represent visually were excluded. For example, it is quite difficult to draw an image to show the meaning of the verb 'decide'. I hope that almost all the basic verbs are covered here and that by mastering this game, students will have a comprehensive mastery of all the basic past tense forms.

Updated January 2020 - changed 'been' to 'gone' in the first set of content, so that 'go' now matches to 'gone'. The sentence still uses 'been' in the phrase contruction part - 'He has been to America'.

This is a mini-game for practicing perfect tense sentences in English. It is intended to be used by ESL learners to review and reinforce the use of perfect tense.

The game is divided into 3 parts. In the first part, you have to match simple verb forms to their perfect tense conjugations - for example, eat matches to eaten. The aim of this part is to review the verb forms before starting to make sentences and also to remind/cement the idea that perfect tense uses different verb forms. In the second part, you have to look at the image and click on the words to form an accurate perfect tense sentence - for example, 'she has eaten lunch'. The aim here is to practice making accurate sentences and to test the students on word order and grammar issues. In the third part, you have to look at the image and click on one of 3 sentences. The 3 sentences here only have minor differences and the aim to give students practice in noticing correct grammar for perfect tense.

The sentences used in this game are arranged into 4 sets of content. These are grouped according to the different uses of perfect tense. The first set covers basic use of perfect tense to describe things that you have done at a non-specific point in time. For example, 'she has eaten lunch'. Some life experiences are also included in this set, such as 'seen an elephant' and 'graduated from college'. The aim with this set is to cover all the basic verbs and try to get phrases that people are likely to hear in everyday life, such as 'done homework' or 'passed the test'. This set also varies between singular and plural and between positive and negative. The intention with this is to expose students to all the different forms that basic perfect tense phrases can take.

The second set of phrases concerns life experiences - sentences that would answer 'have you ever x?' questions. A contrast was created between sentences stating the number of times something has been done and sentences stating that something has never been done. This is important as the sentence order is different for 'never' phrases. The aim here is to expose learners to these kind of life experience phrases. I tried to use phrases that could be typically be experienced in everyday like - e.g. 'had an injection' or 'failed the test'. But typically these sentences are unusual in nature, such as 'eaten a spider'.

The third set concerns duration and how long you have done something for. This is one of the main uses of perfect tense - to describe an action that you continue to do from the past up until present, for example: 'lived in London' or 'played the trumpet'. The key issue with these sentences is whether they are used with 'for' or 'since'. If there is a specific time mentioned at which the action began, then 'since' is used. Whereas, if you just have a duration - e.g. '5 years', then 'for' is used. This distinction is quite important and so it is important for students to get practice with sentences that contrast this.

The final set concerns phrases involving the words 'just', 'already' and 'yet'. These signify slightly different meanings for perfect tense and so contrasting them is quite useful. Phrases with 'yet' are used for situations in which an action hasn't taken place, but is likely to do so in the future - e.g. "the store hasn't opened yet". 'Just' phrases are used to describe events that have recently happened with evidence showing. For example, 'he has just washed the car' with the car showing as clean and the water and soap visible. Similarly, 'already' phrases describe events that have taken place. I chose to use 'already' for situations when there is evidence in the present. This means that there is a lot of overlap between the 'just' and 'already' phrases, but the options available for students to click on should preclude any confusion. The aim of this content is to practice making phrases using these words, with a particular focus on correct word order. I really think that practicing these phrases like this is useful for learners.

The images used in this game are quite specific in nature. The problem with creating images for perfect tense is that it is quite a hard concept to represent visually. For something like 'he is flying a kite', it is quite easy to represent - you just show a boy flying a kite and it directly matches the meaning; however, for something like, 'he has already flown a kite', the meaning is much more subtle and difficult to show visually. The solution used in this game is to have the actions separated from the person. For example, in the sentence 'she has eaten lunch', the action of eating lunch is shown in a bubble and then person to whom the sentence refers is shown next to the bubble, with a thumbs-up to signal having done this action. I think that this is a good solution as I think this closely resembles the way the meaning is understood. In perfect tense, the action is not really being performed by the person, rather it exists as a concept that they relate to, so I think it makes sense to separate it off in this way. To further explain, in the simple sentence 'he is flying a kite' you have the boy as the subject and the kite as the object being flown. The sentence is about how the boy relates to the kite. Conversely, in the perfect tense sentence 'he has flown the kite' the boy is still the subject and the kite the object; however, the sentence is more about how the boy relates to the action of flying the kite. And, to some extent, the action of flying the kite can be thought of as like an object in the sentence.

So in accordance with this perspective, the images are split into 2 with the action in a bubble and subject of the sentence shown next to the bubble. The subject/person, also indicates how they relate to the action. In the first set, this is done with a thumbs-up to indicate something has been done, and a no-hands to show that something hasn't been done. In the second set, the person holds up fingers to indicate the number of times they have done the action (also with a number displayed in a circle). For the 3rd set, each person holds up a sign showing the time to be used in the phrase - the task then is for the student to work out which word (for/since) to use with that time. Finally, for the last set of content, the phrases used are somewhat different. They are more concerned with things that have happened with evidence clear in the present. Because of this, they don't use the split bubble type images.

The game gives points for each correct answer and takes points for incorrect clicks. The maximum scores possible is 23000.

I hope your students can find this game useful. Email me with any feedback - use the contact form linked below or leave a message.
