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.

Updated February 2022 - let me know if there are any problems.

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.

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.

Discover the World of Word Synonyms Games for ESL Learners

English language learning is an enriching experience that helps children unlock the doors to a world of opportunities. Among the many facets of this journey, vocabulary development is paramount. One fun and effective way to strengthen vocabulary is through the use of interactive games, specifically synonyms games. These games introduce young learners to the wonderful world of words with similar meanings while distinguishing them from the concept of synonyms for games or synonyms of games.

The Importance of Synonyms in English Learning

Synonyms are words that have similar meanings. For example, ""happy"" can also be expressed as ""joyful"" or ""content"". Introducing children to synonyms not only enlarges their vocabulary but also helps them articulate more effectively, offering them multiple ways to express a single idea. Moreover, a strong grasp of synonyms empowers ESL students to understand nuanced differences in word meanings, enabling richer comprehension and expression.

Dive into Interactive Synonyms Games

There are countless tools available for teaching synonyms, but interactive games stand out for their efficacy and engagement value. At the heart of this learning revolution are games for synonyms. Such games present an interactive way for children to match words with similar meanings, challenge their recall abilities, and enjoy the process of discovery.

One such resource is the Synonyms ESL Vocabulary Games. This platform offers an array of games designed specifically to enhance synonym vocabulary. With a mix of visuals and word prompts, children are encouraged to find synonymous matches, all while having a blast.

Beyond Synonyms: Expanding the Learning Horizon

While synonyms play a pivotal role in vocabulary enhancement, the world of English language learning is vast. There are antonyms, idiomatic expressions, phrasal verbs, and so much more. For those looking to explore beyond synonyms, check out an array of fun and interactive ESL games. Each game is designed to address a specific aspect of English learning, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

Clarifying the Concept: Synonyms Games vs. Synonyms for Games

In the realm of English learning, it's essential to differentiate between synonym game offerings and the phrase 'synonyms for games' or 'synonyms of games'. The former refers to interactive platforms designed to teach synonyms, while the latter pertains to different words that can describe games. It's crucial to understand this distinction to ensure that young learners are directed towards the right resources.

Concluding Thoughts: The Power of Interactive Learning

Incorporating games of synonyms into the ESL curriculum introduces children to a dynamic, interactive, and engaging learning experience. Gone are the days of mundane rote learning. Today, with the power of interactive games, children can learn, play, and grow simultaneously. So, embrace the world of synonyms games and watch as young learners develop a robust vocabulary, one synonymous word at a time.

In conclusion, the realm of synonyms games is vast, enriching, and brimming with opportunities. Whether you're an educator, parent, or student, dive into these interactive games and embark on a rewarding journey of English language discovery.

Welcome, young learners! Are you ready to expand your vocabulary and become a master of synonyms? Then you're in the right place!

This game replaces the previous game which is now phased out due to unsupported technology. The old game had the following description:

English, like any language, has its set of unique characteristics and quirks. One of the foundational elements of the English language, especially when it comes to forming questions, is the use of 'English question words'. These words are crucial in gathering information, expressing curiosity, or seeking clarity. In this article, we'll explore these question words, their usage, and the importance of understanding them for anyone looking to master English. Our game on this page is just the tool you need to practice asking English questions: https://www.eslgamesplus.com/question-words-what-where-who-why-when-which-how-grammar-activity/

What are English Question Words?

English question words, often referred to as ""wh-questions,"" are terms we use to start questions. They provide a framework for the kind of answer we expect in response. The primary question words in English include ""who,"" ""what,"" ""where,"" ""when,"" ""why,"" ""which,"" ""how,"" and a few others.

The Role of Each Question Word

1. Who: Used to inquire about a person's identity.

Example: Who is the author of this book?
2. What: Asks about things or activities.

Example: What are you doing?
3. Where: Refers to a location or place.

Example: Where do you live?
4. When: Inquires about a particular time or date.

Example: When is your birthday?
5. Why: Seeks reasons or explanations.

Example: Why are you late?
6. Which: Used when there are multiple options or choices.

Example: Which color do you prefer?
7. How: Asks about the manner or method of something.

Example: How do you cook this dish?

Importance of Understanding Question Words

1. Effective Communication: Question words are foundational for asking questions in English. A solid grasp of these words ensures clear and effective communication.

2. Improved Listening Skills: Recognizing these words when spoken by others aids in better comprehension and more active listening.

3. Essential for ESL Learners: For those learning English as a second language, understanding question words is pivotal for daily interactions and building conversational skills.

Tips for Mastering English Question Words

1. Practice Regularly: Like any aspect of language learning, regular practice is key. Engage in conversations, ask questions, and try to frame different types of inquiries using various question words.

2. Use Flashcards: Create flashcards for each question word, with examples on the back. This visual aid can help reinforce memory.

3. Engage in Listening Activities: Listen to podcasts, watch movies, or attend English classes. The more you expose yourself to the language, the more familiar you'll become with the usage of these words.

Conclusion

'English question words' are more than just vocabulary; they're the tools we use to navigate conversations, gather information, and connect with others. By understanding and mastering these words, you pave the way for stronger communication skills and a deeper grasp of the English language. Whether you're an ESL learner or just looking to refine your English skills, these question words are your stepping stones to effective communication."

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 practicing simple vocabulary words in English. You listen to the audio and then click on the correct word or image.

The aim of the game is to practice interacting with English words for simple everyday use. The images used in the game convey meaning and context. Through the interactions, this meaning is paired with text and audio to facilitate learning and reinforcement.

Before the game starts, you are presented with the 10 items that will be used in the game. On this screen you can review and familiarize yourself with the target language and then when ready, then you can click on start to begin. There are three parts to the game. In the first part, you simply listen or read the words and then click on the matching image. In the second part, you drag the images to match the target words. Then in the third part, you have to look and the image and click on the matching word. If you make a mistake at any time, the game ends and you are shown the error. From this screen, you can click on 'retry' to have another go, or you can click on the arrow button to return to the preview screen and once again review the items. Once you complete all three parts without making any mistakes, the game ends and you are shown a summary.

There are 31 different sets of content that can be used in this game. A set of content is automatically selected for you, but if you would like to pick a set to use, then you can click 'choose' at the first screen. Each set of content has between 10 and 35 different items, but only 10 are used at one time. These 10 are chosen at random and if you replay the same set of content, you will likely get different items. The reason for only using 10 items is that students may be unfamiliar with a lot of the vocabulary. Showing more than 10 potentially new words to students would be too many to pick up at once.

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 is a simple game to practice days of the week in English. The game has text and audio for days of the week and has sentences for context.

The first screen shows the days in order and allows students to click and listen to each in turn. The game then has 3 parts. In the first part, you are presented with the days in a jumbled order and have to re-arrange them correctly. In the second part you have to read or listen to the text and then move the images to the correct day. In the third part, you have to look at the image and then click on the words to make sentences.

Note that in this game Monday is used as the first day of the week. Many countries use Sunday, but I think the majority use Monday and so that is what I went with.

This game does not aim to teach the concept of days and what the days of the week are; rather, it is expected that a teacher would do that in class. The aim of this game is simply to practice and reinforce the language.

There is also a review screen that you can use to view all the language used in the game. Listed below are all the sentences used.

On Monday I listen to music.

On Tuesday I call my friend.

On Wednesday I do homework.

On Thursday I wash my hair.

On Friday I drink tea.

On Saturday I eat ice cream.

On Sunday I play tennis.

This is a mini game for studying English phrasal verbs. The target audience is learners of English as a second language.

A phrasal verb is a pair of words that go together and act as a verb. For example, "give up" is a phrasal verb meaning to quit. Phrasal verbs are typically made of a verb + preposition. For example, "take on", meaning to be responsible for something, is made up of the verb "take" and the preposition "on". Often the meaning of a phrasal verb can vary from the meaning of the component parts. For example, "throw up" meaning to vomit would be quite hard to infer just from the 2 parts. Because of the subtle meanings, phrasal verbs can be a difficult area for language learners.

The aim of this game is to help students learn and practice a set of phrasal verbs in an easy and engaging way. Hopefully, students can understand the meaning from the image and sentence, then from repeatedly matching the phrasal to this context they can associate the phrasal verb with the meaning, and then subsequently transfer this to everyday usage. In this respect, the game is quite behaviourist in its approach - repeatedly pairing the words and meaning to strengthen the association. Although, as with most content like this, the responsibility is really on the learner to make best use of this as a resource. Some learners may even feel they get most out of just clicking though the images on the review screen.

The game has 48 phrasal verbs which were chosen according to how easy they are to represent visually. The phrasals used here are not the most common phrasals or the easiest, they are just the ones that are more visual. This is a list of those used:

The game has 3 parts. In the first part, you just click on the phrasal verb that matches the image. This part covers all the phrasals used in the game and it repeats any items that mistakes are made on. In the second part, you click on the image to match the text. The third part presents a larger image and you have to make a phrase or sentence.

This game is made in Javascript using the Pixi.js library. If you have any comments, questions or feedback, then please use the form below to post a message.

This is a game for practicing weather language in English. The target audience is ESL learner; although, young native speaking children may also find it useful. The main aim is to practice weather vocabulary and phrases, specifically to expose students to weather vocab such as "Sunny", weather phrases such as "In England, it will rain" and weather actions such as "When it is hot, she eats and ice cream". The hope is that by exposing students to this language, it will reinforce the language and increase their familiarity with it. A secondary aim for this game is to show students different countries and expose them to simple country name vocabulary. While country vocab is not a primary focus for this game, it is still beneficial for students to see and practice country language in English. ESL students usually have specific modules or chapters in a textbook that covers countries and customs, so I think the country names are worth of study. In terms of this specific game, weather language and countries are quite complimentary and the way the game works really requires country language to be used. Also, I really think that countries on a map of the world is something that students will find somewhat interesting and so I think it will be good for holding their attention.

The content in this game is divided into 4 sets. Each set includes 6 weather vocabulary items, 12 countries and 6 weather related actions. The first set covers the basic weather vocab - "Sunny", "Windy" and etc. Then the remaining sets increase in difficulty to the point where the fourth set includes more obscure weather vocab such as "Forest fire" and Hurricane". Below is a list of the language used.

Set 1 - Europe Sunny, Cloudy, Windy, Snow, Lightning, Rain England, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Poland, Greece, Holland, Portugal, Ireland, Czechia, Denmark (Lightning is prefered to thunder as the image is visual rather than auditory. Also, Czechia is prefered to The Czech Republic as it is shorter and so fits in the box.)

Set 2 - Asia Hot, Mild, Cold, Boiling, Freezing, Wet China, Japan, India, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia, The Philippines, Mongolia, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand

Set 3 - North America Drizzle, Hail, Storm, Overcast, Rainbow, Tornado the North, the North-East, the East, the South, the West, the middle, Canada, Mexico, California, Texas, Florida, New York

Set 4 - World Volcano, Blizzard, Flood, Forest fire, Air pollution, Hurricane Russia, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Nigeria, South Africa, Colombia, Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, The United States

Sentences

When it is sunny he relaxes on the beach. When it is cloudy they play football. When it is raining she takes an umbrella. When it is snowing they have a snow ball fight. When there is lightning the dog hides under the bed. When it is windy she sails a boat.

When it is hot she eats ice cream. When it is mild he goes for a bike ride. When it is cold she drinks tea. When it is boiling hot she turns on the AC. When it is freezing cold she stays in bed. When it is wet she wears a raincoat.

When there is a drizzle of rain she goes jogging. When it hails he takes care of his dog. When there is a storm he relaxes on the sofa. When it is overcast they play badminton. When there is a rainbow he takes a photo. When there is a tornado he closes the window.

When a volcano erupts he films a video. When there is a blizzard she takes a bath. When there is flood he rows a boat. When there is a forest fire she drives away. When there is air pollution she wears a face mask. When there is a hurricane he flies away.

There are 3 parts to the game. In the first part, you have to drag the vocabulary items to match the images. In the second part, you are show a map and have to drag the weather images to the appropriate country according to the text and audio. Finally, the last part shows a big image and you have to form a sentence to describe what you see.

I hope your students enjoy the game and can practice and improve their English. Leave any comments you like below.

Additionally, you can get embed code to add this game to a blog or web page and you can create direct links to the game with content pre-selected.

This game is very simple: you just look at the image and then spell the word. You can click on the letters on the screen or use the keyboard to type. The keyboard seems to be a lot faster than clicking with the mouse. So, if you are looking to get a good score, then it would be advisable to use the keys.

Before you start, you have to select a set of content to use. There are 30 different sets available for this game and each one has about 25 items to spell. You have to spell out each item once and there is also an audio clip for each image which should play just as the image is first shown.

It is possible to add your own images and audio clips. To do this you click on the 'add' button when in the content selection screen. They you can select images from your desktop computer and they get added and displayed on the screen. The file names of the images you add become the target word that you have to spell. So if you add an image called 'beach holiday', then the target to spell for that image will be 'beach holiday'. Although, you can change the target words by clicking on the textbox directly below the image. Note that for this game it is not possible to add numbers or special characters - these are automatically removed on teh content screen. This is because the keyboard that is displayed on screen only contains letters.

There is also a timer which runs down while you are spelling the words. If the timer runs out before the game is completed, then you lose and the game is over. Once you have spelt all the items in the content set, the game also finishes and displays the scores screen. The countdown timer should get faster as you progress through the sets. In this way, the game should get more challenging. If you click the wrong letter, then you don't lose you can just try another one until you get it right. In this way there is a little bit of trial and error in learning to spell words that you don't know.

The idea for this game is that by spelling words again and again very quickly you can become a better speller and also become more familiar with the vocabulary items and the letters used to form them.

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.

This is a simple online word search game that students can use to practice basic English vocabulary. You have to find the words to match the images before the timer runs out.

Before playing the game, you choose a set of content to use. There are about 30 sets to choose from and they cover a range of vocab topics. The game then selects about 18 items from that set for use in the game; the selection is based on how long the words are. Words such as 'Spaghetti bolognese' are excluded due to being too long.

To play the game, you have at the images and guess the matching words. Then you try to find the words in the jumble of letters. For example, if you see a picture of a phone, you have to find the letters for 'phone'. Spaces are excluded and so 'the sun' is changed to 'thesun'. You can click or tap on the images to see how the words are spelt and there is also a hint button that can be activated by first clicking on the settings button. The challenge comes from finding all the words before the time runs out. If the time runs out, the game is lost but you can retry.

Points are awarded for each word correctly found; however, points are lost for wrong guesses, for clicking on the images and for getting hints.

It is hoped that learning can occur through the association of words, images and audio. The images present meaning and this is paired with the English word through the process of finding the word's letters. This is also reinforced when the audio plays. The game also practices spelling as you have to know how the words are spelt in order to find them.

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.

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.

For numbers 1 - 10, click on review and then click on 'play' from that screen.

This is a small game for learning numbers in English. Students listen or read and then click on the matching number.

The main aim of this game is to practice using numbers in English. This is done through the mini-game in which students listen to audio and then click on the matching number. The hope is that this will increase familiarity and give practice in listening to how numbers sound.

The second aim is to present or introduce numbers for any students who do not know them. While numbers as a topic is quite basic for ESL learners, it is possible that some of the higher numbers may be completely new to some students and so they need some guidance on how they sound.

There are 10 sets of numbers:
Easy mode
Set 1

Set 2

Set 3

Set 4
Hard Mode
Set 5

Set 6

Set 7

Set 8

Set 9

Set 10

In the mini-game you take control of a small monster and you have to help him survive by pointing and clicking to make jump him on blocks. Three blocks are shown and each has a number displayed in the middle. The audio of one of these numbers is then played and you have to move the monster to the matching block. If you pick the correct block, then the monster survives, but if you choose badly, then the monster falls off the bottom of the screen and the game is over.

It is hoped that learning can take place through the association of audio/text with the numerical digit. Students will see and hear the numbers and then have that paired with the digits displayed. It is hoped that repeatedly doing this will increase familiarity and practice number ability. I think that the 2 variations of receptive recognition are covered here: in the game, students listen to or read the number and then match that to a numerical digit; in the presentation screen, students can see the digits and then can click to hear how they are spoken or see how they are written.

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 mini game for practising prepositions in English. It is suitable for English as a second language students rather than native speakers. The prepositions are generally basic and the vocal is quite low level.

A preposition is a word or phrase that shows a relationship between 2 things in a sentence. For example the sentence "The book is on the shelf" contains 2 objects (book and shelf) and the preposition 'on' denotes a relationship between them. Other examples of preposition include 'under', 'by', 'with', 'without', 'because of'. In this game, all the preposition used are prepositions of place which means that they describe where objects are in relation to other objects.

The aim of this game is to give students an opportunity to practise prepositions in a way that has a clear visual context. And in a way that is interactive with immediate feedback. Students can actively move objects and see them positioned according to a preposition; it is hoped that through this, students can get a more concrete understanding of prepositions and their meaning. Each time a student reads and understands a preposition and then moves the object accordingly, they are re-enforcing the meaning in a realistic context.

To play the game a student just has to read the sentence and then move the matching object to the correct position. The objects can be moved with their a mouse or by touch using a mobile device. A total of 9 scenes are used in this game: front room, bathroom, bedroom, fridge, park, cafe, classroom, TV and office. These were chosen in the hope that they provide real-life context and match situations in which students may actually hear and use prepositions in their daily life. The prepositions used in this game include the following: in, on, under, above, next to, right, left, behind, in front of and between. For each of the 9 scenes there are 12 objects that must be positioned correctly; once this has been done, the student proceeds to the next scene. The scenes get progressively more difficult both in terms of the language and the time allowed.

If you think this game is too fast or too difficult for your students' English level, then you can play in 'slow' mode. To play slowly, just click on 'slow' at the title screen, or change the settings by clicking on the button in the game.

This is a game to practice or study English as a second language, specifically the focus is on forming conditional phrases of the form "if ..., then ...". Conditional phrases of this type are useful structures to learn, as they have a range of uses in both everyday life and practical settings.

The general idea behind this game is that by practising the "if ..., then ..." structure, students will become more familiar with it and integrate it into their range of language. Hopefully, students will go from being less familiar with conditional phrases, to being able to express conditional ideas in an effective way. In order to achieve this, the game uses a generally behaviourist approach of repeating the formation of the structure. The different images convey the meaning of a conditional situation, and then the learner practices forming the matching conditional structure. The specific phrases used in this game are perhaps unlikely to be used that much in everyday life; however, it is hoped that enough repetition will lead to transfer of the structure to other contexts.

There are 48 phrases in the game, with each having an image showing the meaning of the conditional situation. As it was necessary to have matching images, only conditionals that are easy to represent visually were used. About half of the 48 items are of type 0 or 1 (also known as first conditional or zero conditional). Most of the rest are of type 2 (unreal conditional), then a few are mixed 2/3 and one is type 3. Originally I didn't want to organize the items according to type, but it was necessary to do so, in order to avoid confusion and instances where an image could be multiple types. For example, the "if you drink a lot of water, then you will need the WC" item could easily be either first or second conditional. So, to avoid this confusion, the conditionals are grouped and shown by type. Also, unreal conditionals clearly show a thought bubble coming from a person's head to represent the fact that it corresponds to an idea rather than a real life situation. Likewise, for the mixed conditionals, an attempt was made to show some kind of regret for the person, thus corresponding to that kind of past conditional.

To play the game, you just have to click on the words to make the correct sentence. First, you look at the image and figure out the conditional situation. Then, you can look at the clause that is currently showing. And then, you can tap the words to make the rest of the conditional phrase. Sometimes the first part of the conditional is show and you have to form the second half; other times you are shown the second clause of the conditional and you have to form the first part. There are also a few items where you have to form both clauses. Points are awarded for clicking the correct words; while score is lost if mistakes are made. More points are awarded if the words are clicking in the correct order.

There are 8 rounds in total. For rounds 1 and 2, you have to make the "then" clause of the conditional; while for round 3 you have to make the "if" clause and for round 4 you have to make both clauses. Rounds 5 to 8 are similar, but involve unreal conditional structures. If you prefer, you can choose the "long" option on the first screen and play without round breaks. This long type of game allows for a higher score.

This is a simple game for practicing brief reading comprehension. To play, you read the brief description and then click on the image that it most accurately describes. The aim is to practice understanding for short English sentences in a fun way. By having the player match the description to an image, it is hoped that meaning or context can be elicited more effectively. To be clear, this game is primarily targeted at - ESL (English as a second language) students.

When playing, you can select the content to use from a range of 20 or so different sets. Each set has 20 to 30 items and each item has two different (but quite similar) descriptions. The first description is quite simple, while the second tries to be more difficult. The easier descriptions show first and then as you progress the more difficult ones show. To finish the game, you have to go through the whole set of content twice. To try and make the game more interesting, score is accumulated and a high score table is shown at the end. Most of the other games on this site use a timer to make the game challenging. Rather than do this again, this game just has score and a bar that accumulates and awards more points. The bar accumulates as you get the correct answer, but then resets whenever a mistake is made. If you can get six correct responses in a row, the star is shown and additional score is given.

To add another element to the game, I included 3 'lifelines' or hints to help get the correct answer. These appear on the right of the screen and, while initial faded, become available as you accumulate score. The first lifeline is '50/50'. Clicking this will remove half of the options leaving only the correct answer and 3 alternatives. The second lifeline, changes the images shown and reorders the display. At first 8 images are shown. One is the correct response and the other 7 are randomly selected from the other images in the content set. The second lifeline, re-shuffles and reselects the 7 alternatives. The final lifeline simply shows the correct response. As this one is quite useful, it is can only be used a few times. When you begin, you have no lifelines and the option buttons are all faded out. Then as you give correct responses, you accumulate score and get awarded lifelines. However, one incorrect answer will reset everything and remove all the lifelines you have.

There a couple of game modes that you can play in. Normal mode will display 8 possible images for each description, while easy mode displays only 4 images. There is also a 'simple' mode in which the scoring bar and lifelines are removed.

This is version of the classic letter guessing game called Hangman. You are shown a set of blank letters that match a word or phrase and you have to guess what these letters are to reveal the hidden word. You guess by picking letters from those displayed on the sides. If you pick a letter that is in the word, a sound is played and that letter is revealed from the blank letters; however, if you pick a letter that is not in the word, then a stickman is slowly drawn. With each wrong letter guess, the man is drawn more and more. When the man is finished, he is hung and the game is lost. This is why the game is called 'Hangman'. If you can reveal all the letters in the word before the man is hung then you are successful and the full word is revealed along with an image showing the meaning of the word. An audio clip should also play if it has been loaded.

The letters are in 2 sets: vowels appear on the left and the consonants on the right. In order to make the game easier, wrong guesses from vowels do not count as mistakes and do not draw the man. So it is advisable to click on all the vowels first. If you prefer to make thing harder, you can change this setting by clicking on the settings button.

As with other games you can choose the content that you wish to use. There is a content selection screen just before the game starts. It has 30 different sets of content, including things like food, jobs and sports. Some content sets are easier than others - the colors and numbers are really quite simple to guess; alternatively, jobs and garden items are longer and difficult. While each set of content has about 25 items, only 16 are used in any one game. This is to keep the game from getting too long/boring and also to exclude some of the more uncommon items.

There is also an option to review the vocabulary items. At the first screen, if you click on the 'Review' button, then you can select any set of content and scroll through to see each image and see how it is spelt. It is quite hard to learn how to spell a word just from guessing letters and so perhaps it is a good idea to review the items from a set before trying the game.

I hope you have fun playing this game and that you can learn or improve your English at the same time. Leave any comments below.

Exercises Explanation Downloads

Present continuous - I'm doing, I'm not doing, Are you doing?

Exercise 1

Write positive or negative sentences in present continuous using the verbs in brackets. Use SHORT FORMS when possible.

Present continuous - Form

We form the present continuous with am/is/are + the -ing form of the verb.

She is listening to the radio.

They are doing their homework.

The short forms of am/is/are are: 'm/'s/'re.

The negative short forms of am not/is not/are not are: 'm not/isn't/aren't.

Note that we can use short forms only in negative short answers, but not in positive short answers.

'Are you writing a book?' 'Yes, I am.' (NOT Yes, I'm.)

Actions happening now

We use the present continuous for things happening now, at the moment of speaking.

'What are you doing?' 'I'm watching TV.'

Actions happening around now

We use the present continuous for temporary things that are happening around now (=not at the moment of speaking but these days, or weeks, etc.)

Now, these days, at the moment, etc.

We use the present continuous with time expressions that mean 'now' or 'around now': now, at the moment, at present, today, these days, this week, etc.

We are working on this!

We're developing a NEW LEARNING PLATFORM with a subscription plan that includes additional features at an affordable price. One of those features will be PDF downloads.
