This week I launched a new educational site that helps you learn
English vocabulary. The site is called:
Learning Vocabulary Can Be Fun
The address is:
http://www.vocabulary.co.il
Below is a brief description of each educational game on the site.
Word Search Game
This fun, Flash game has over 70 subjects with thousands of
words. Subjects covered include animals, astronomy, basketball,
clothing, computers, countries, furniture, geography, heteronyms,
nature, occupations, palindromes, shapes, shopping, spices, sports,
star trek, travel, vegetables, weather and many more.
There is an easy mode for the kids and a harder mode for teenagers
and adults. Each game is randomly generated. You can even print
out a blank game (and the solution page) for off-line playing.
Remember that looking at the solution page is a last resort
Hangman
By taking your classic Hangman game and creating an
online version connected to a database with over 2,500 words,
I created a game that is fun to play and educational.
If you expect your simple "hang the man by the rope" drawing
then you are in for a surprise. The game is suitable for
both young students with topics like colors, food and games
to adults with topics ranging from the periodic table to world
capitals.
Match Game
Learning new words at a young age is not easy.
This Flash game will make learning English a fun experience.
The game has 3 levels of play and 7 card sets to choose from.
Pictures of the items are show on the screen and you can
hear the words spoken in English. The game is geared to
a young audience but older students that are learning
English as a second language will also benefit from hearing
the words pronounced in the game's learning mode.
The Vocabulary Quiz
Learning vocabulary from a textbook is boring. Learning
vocabulary by playing an interesting and challenging online
quiz is both fun and educational. Simply choose a topic,
level of play (easy versus hard questions) the timer setting
and the fun begins. The quiz randomly selects questions
from a database filled with hundreds of multiple choice
questions. The ever expanding database is filled with questions
that are suitable for grades 6 through 12 and for ESL students.
Students young and old will find the vocabulary quiz entertaining
and educational. Additional topics will be added on an ongoing basis.
The vocabulary site has something for everyone and
feedback is always appreciated.
Please forward this message to other teachers, parents and
students so they may benefit from this new educational site.
Enjoy!
