Six interesting interactive games, for a group of beginners from last form of primary school or lower secondary school. Each game consists in questions, sometimes with hints, and the students have to find the answer. I tried the first two :
Geo-find is a multiple choice question about geography, and when you choose the right answer, you get links to this place and you can check your answer and learn more.
Geo-quest is a questionnaire about an animal. You click on the questions, you use a dictionary to understand the answers, and then you try and suggest an answer. If you don’t find it after asking all the questions, the game gives you the answer. My animal was an « aardvark »…so I had to search the internet, using the right key words and browsing through the answers to find out what it looked like…. These games could be an excellent group work activity for the end of the year… [ ps : an « aardvark » , c’est un fourmilier, mais je ne l’ai pas trouvé dans mon dictionnaire!!!]
