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.

Electronic Flashcards for Spanish
-
"The idea behind this project is to mimic, in an electronic format, flash- cards as they are used to learn
Spanish. The idea with flashcards, is that you look at one side of the card, think of the answer, then flip the card over to see if you were right. On this web page, this takes the form of displaying one side of the card in one frame and then the answer in an adjacent frame."
