Guess Who - Movie Characters

This is a free, simple online app that provides you with an array of pictures of movie characters.

All pictures are family-friendly and pulled from fairly well-known movies.

The game can display 9 or 16 movie characters at a time.



I like to use this app to have my students practice asking me questions about people.

For example:

- Is this character old?
- Yes.
- Is this character human?
- No.
- Is it Jabba the Hutt?
- Yes!

Every time you press Enter the game is refreshed with new, randomly generated content.

Dungeon of Gender and Number

This downloadable game has your students navigating a fantasy dungeon / maze.

They come to a series of doors and are provided with a vocabulary word. (Pulled from the elementary Spanish textbook Mosaicos.)

They then must determine whether the word is singular or plural and whether it is masculine or feminine and decide which article (definite or indefinite) is most appropriate for it.


If they choose correctly, they get treasure!


If they choose incorrectly, they find a monster!


I like to have my students race in groups to see which group can work their way through the dungeon first.

Relative Location Generator

The Relative Location Generator is a downloadable app that randomly organizes common classroom objects in different positions relative to each other. You can download it here.

I use this tool to help my students practice prepositions. Usually I'll think of an item and have them ask me questions until they can figure out which item it is.


For example:
- Is it above the desk?
- Yes
- Is it the backpack?
- Yes!

Every time you press Enter, the game is refreshed with new, random content!

Save the World from the Invasion of Stupidity!



Earth is in trouble! The dUFOs from the planet Stupidity have launched bombs!
Use what you have learned in your class to disarm the bombs as soon as possible!

With this downloadable game you can create as many questions as you want with corresponding answers. (Note, students will have to provide the correct answers exactly as you type them.)

Originally designed as a multiplayer game, this game is currently functional only as a single-player game. However, it does work well in that regard! You can enter as many questions and answers as you want. Then you can decide how many to display in a round. (How many bombs are there?!)

When a student gets an answer right, they have disarmed that bomb and it disappears. They have unlimited attempts with all bombs. The first half of the bombs will be multiple choice questions and the second half will be fill-in-the blank questions.
