English Games for Children Aged 5 to 10

Six English games: colours, animals, food and vehicles by picture, then listening games where a child hears the word and picks or spells it.

The 6 games

Every one of these has 3 levels. The harder ones ask more questions and offer more answers to choose from, so a round grows with the child instead of ending in a minute.

Six games that move a child from recognising a word to writing it, in the order a foreign language is actually taught: hear it, match it, then spell it.

The order they go in

  1. Colours โ€” drag the written word onto the right paint pot. The pots carry patterns as well as colour, so the game works without colour vision.
  2. Animals, Food, Things that go โ€” match the written word to the picture.
  3. Listen and pick โ€” hear the word, choose the picture. No reading needed.
  4. Listen and write โ€” hear the word and spell it, letter by letter, on a drawn keyboard. This is the hardest step and the last one.

Every word is spoken

The game speaks each word aloud with the device's own voice, and a speaker button repeats it. A seven-year-old beginner cannot read English instructions, so the interface leans on pictures, numbers and sound rather than sentences.

Your own word list

A parent can paste the words from this week at school into the settings page. Those words join the built-in ones in the listening games and in "Write words". The research on vocabulary is clear that the words a child actually meets beat any fixed list.

Which words are built in

The bank follows the topics in the Polish curriculum for a first foreign language at this stage โ€” home, school, food, animals, things that go โ€” and stays inside the range covered by Cambridge Pre A1 Starters.
