Course consulting 29 – English Vocab Games Plugin

Description

Students rarely complain about playing games, but they often complain about memorizing word lists. English Vocab Games, a WordPress plugin by Huu Duc of Open Doors Learning, closes that gap. It turns your website into a vocabulary playground where learners practise real words by level and topic, while teachers see the results.

Eight ways to play
Students enter their name, choose a CEFR level from A1 to B2 and a topic, then pick a game. Flashcards introduce new words with spoken pronunciation. Meaning Quiz and Picture Quiz test understanding. Word Guess works like hangman, Unscramble rebuilds jumbled words, and Matching connects words with meanings. Crossword builds a fresh puzzle every time, and Speed Round challenges students to answer as many questions as possible before the clock runs out, with combo bonuses for streaks.

Motivation built in
Points, sound effects and confetti reward good results. A daily streak encourages students to come back, and Mistakes Review saves the words they missed so they can practise them again. Add the

shortcode to show your top players.

Made for teachers
The plugin includes 80 sample words with definitions and example sentences, ready to play on activation. Edit the word list in a simple spreadsheet format, add translations in your students’ language, and give each word a picture from your Media Library. Crosswords can be printed as worksheets, with or without an answer key. Every result is saved in your dashboard.

Easy to set up
Install the plugin, add the

shortcode to any page, and you are done. Lock a page to one level for a specific class, and adjust the words per round, the lives in Word Guess and the Speed Round length.
