3 Ways Word Puzzles Are Good for Your Brain

People like to play word games because they're a simple way to exercise your brain. Breaking down problems and coming up with solutions is one of the most engaging ways to have fun online.

Here are three examples of how playing word games online is great for your brain:

Word Puzzles Can Help Improve Your Memory

You can potentially develop better long and short-term memory by regularly playing word games online. Because word games challenge your mind to identify words, patterns, and spontaneously recall information, they are unique in their ability to sharpen your wits and bolster your memory. Something as simple as a daily crossword can help ensure your mind ages well.

Word Games Help With Your Spelling

Word games are a fun way to help you learn the correct spellings of tricky words, improve your ability to utilize word play, and enable you to avoid losing track at a particularly tricky text twist.

Extend Your Vocabulary With Tricky Word Puzzles

While playing word games you're likely come across new words and phrases. Soon you'll be stringing together impressive new sentences at work and at home. You'll also benefit from practicing these at home because puzzles build upon your prior knowledge to help you grow stronger vocabulary skills, much like hitting the gym does for muscles.

Need a game to train your brain? Keep your mind sharp and play free word games at Arkadium to enhance your problem-solving skills and verbal fluency! Playing word puzzle games ensures you're prepared with much more than a fighting chance. You can conquer any puzzle or vocabulary addition before you if you’ve committed to regular practice.

3 Tips to Solve Word Puzzles

Struggling to solve a word puzzle? Become a confident problem solver with these top word puzzle game tips. These aren’t specific to any one type of word puzzle game, so feel free to apply them to all types of games.

Read the Problem Through Twice

Word puzzles are tough to solve if you don't fully understand the question. Particularly when solving crossword puzzles, it's vital to read the question at least twice. A simple error such as misunderstanding the part of speech that an answer will be in can cost you several minutes, wherein you must resolve several parts of the puzzle.

Whether you're facing a cryptic clue or anything similar, read the problem through twice to make sure you haven't missed a detail.

Keep Practicing Word Problems

Word games and puzzles are tough to master, so don’t focus on overnight success. Instead, invest your efforts in learning new words, expanding your vocabulary skills, and conversing with others, such as children, spouses, and colleagues in order to create long-term success.

To become a puzzle-solving master you need to put in a lot of practice, so play word puzzles to your heart's content as you journey toward a bright tomorrow.

You'll soon notice patterns and similarities that help you solve even the most difficult word games.

Search for Multiple Words

Multitasking can be difficult. But when it comes to word puzzles you must bring your A-game. when you scan for multiple word patterns at once, you're able to identify a bulk of word list in a short period of time, then spend your remaining time seeking out the few particularly difficult words, such as those which have been spelled in reverse or listed diagonally.

Don't get bogged down trying to solve one clue or question. Why? Because there are often multiple tasks to manage. Hints may also be available for particularly troublesome word puzzle elements. Because multiple difficulty levels are available, you can find the right setting to kick off your journey.

So look at each task before starting, then focus on the easy ones first and let your subconscious do the hard thinking for the rest.

Think you're ready for a few challenging word puzzles? Test these tips with Arkadium's vast selection of free online word games. Our site even has classic word puzzles such as Hangman, Word Collect, and Swipe. Generally, word games aren’t constrained by time limits, but some allow you to race against the clock in order to keep your motivation up.

Arkadium Has the Best Free Online Word Games

List of 50 Great Word Games for Kids and Adults DAILY WRITING TIPS

If you want to improve your writing, maybe it’s time to ditch all the writing books and podcasts and play some word games instead.

Yes, seriously! Word games and writing games are great ways to develop your vocabulary, to help you think more deeply about words, to have fun with story and structure, and to get a lot of fun out of writing.

But games can be a great way to:

Develop your vocabulary
Help you think more deeply about words
Become more fluent in English (if it’s a foreign language for you)
Invent and develop characters

… and much more.

After the list of 50 writing games, I’ve given you a top ten that I think are particularly great for kids who want to practice their writing skills. Many of the other games are suitable for children, too, so by all means try out other games as a family if you want to.

Of course, there are loads of online games (and quizzes and tools) that you can use to improve your writing skills, and I will be talking about some of the best of those. But there are also lots of tried-and-tested classic games that you can play with pen and paper, or using cards and dice … and we’ll be taking a look at those first.

5 Pen and Paper Word Games

I’ll start with the simplest games: pen and paper ones that you can play pretty much anywhere, so long as you have a pen.

All of these are suitable for children, and some (like crosswords) are enjoyed by many adults too.

#1: Hangman (2+ players)

Hangman is a classic word game for two players. One player thinks of a word and writes down dashes to represent the number of letters. The other guesses letters of the alphabet. Correct letters are inserted into the word; incorrect letters result in another segment of the “hangman” being drawn.

This is a great game for developing spelling and vocabulary. If you’re playing it with small children, you can do it without the perhaps rather unpleasant “hangman” element, and just count how many guesses each player takes!

#2: Crosswords (1 player)

A crossword is a grid of white and black squares, where each white square is one letter of a word. The words intersect. You can find crosswords in many newspapers and magazines (on all sorts of subjects), and you can buy booklets and books full of them. Some crosswords are “cryptic”: great if you like brainteasers. Others have more straightforward clues.

Crosswords are great if you want to learn new words and definitions, or (at the cryptic end of the scale) if you enjoy playing with words and language. Simple ones are suitable for fairly young children, with a little help.

#3: Word searches (1 player)

A word search has a grid (often 10×10 or more) filled with letters, and a number of words written alongside or beneath the grid. The person completing the word search needs to find those words within the grid.

Most word searches are easy enough for children, though younger children will struggle with backward and diagonal words. They’re a good way to get used to letter patterns and to improve spelling – and because word searches rely on matching letters, even children who can’t read well will be able to complete simple ones.

#4: Consequences (2+ players, ideally 4+)

This is a fun game with a group of people, as you get a wild and wacky mix of ideas. Each player writes down one line of a story and folds the paper over before passing it around the table to the next player. The very simple version we play has five lines: (1) A male name, (2) The word “met” then a female name, (3) “He said …” (4) “She said …” (5) “And then …”

Once all five stages are complete, the players open out the papers and read out the results. This can be great for sparking ideas, or as a way to encourage reluctant writers to have a go.

#5: Bulls and Cows (2 players)

This game, which can also be called “Mastermind” or “Jotto” involves one player thinking up a secret word of a set number of letters. The second player guesses a word; the first player tells them how many letters match in the right position (bulls) and how many letters are correct but in the wrong position (cows).

Our five year old loves this game, and it’s been a great way to develop her spelling and handwriting as well as logical thinking about which letters can or can’t be the correct ones after a few guesses.

10 Board and Dice Games

These are all games you can buy from Amazon (or quite probably your local toyshop). They’re fun ways to foster a love of writing within your family, or to share your enjoyment of words with your friends.

#1: Scrabble (2+ players)

A classic of word games, Scrabble is a game played with letter tiles on a board that’s marked with different squares. (Some squares provide extra points.) Letters have different points values depending on how common they are. The end result of scrabble looks like a crossword: a number of words overlapping with one another.

If you want to develop your vocabulary (particularly of obscure two-letter words…) then Scrabble is a great game to play. It’s suitable for children too, particularly in “Junior” versions.

#2: Boggle (2+ players)

This is less well known than Scrabble, but it was one I enjoyed as a child. To play Boggle, you shake a box full of dice with a letter on each side, and the dice land in the 4×4 grid at the bottom of the box. You then make as many words as you can from the resulting face-up letters.

Again, this is a good one for developing vocabulary – and it can be played by children as well as by adults. You need to write down the words you come up with, which can also be good for developing handwriting.

#3: Pass the Bomb (2+ players)

It’s very simple to play: you deal a card for the round pass a “bomb” around the table and when it goes off, the person holding it loses. Before you can pass the bomb on during your turn, you need to come up with a word that contains the letters on the card.

It’s a fun family or party game, and can work well with a wide range of ages. It’s a great way to help children think about letter patterns, too, and to develop vocabulary and spelling.

#4: Story Cubes (1+ players)

There are lots of different versions of these available, and they all work in a similar way. The open-ended game has a set of cubes that you roll to create ideas for a story that you can tell along with the other players. If you prefer, you can use them to come up with stories that you’re going to write on your own.

There are lots of different ways you can use them: as writing prompts for a school class or group, to make up a bedtime story together with your children, for getting past your own writers’ block, or almost anything you can think of.

#5: Apples to Apples (2+ players)

Apples to Apples has red cards (with the name of a person, place, thing, etc) and green cards (with two different descriptions): the player with a green card selects one of the descriptions, and others have to choose a card from their hand of red cards. The judge for that game decides which red card best matches the description.

If you want to develop your vocabulary (or your kids’), this could be a fun game to play. There are lots of expansions available, plus a “junior” version with simpler words. (If you’re playing with adults, you might also want to consider Cards Against Humanity, a decidedly not-kid-friendly game that works in a very similar way. )

#6: Letter Tycoon (2+ players)

In this game, you have a hand of 7 cards which you can use in conjunction with the 3 “community cards” to create a valuable word. It’s a more strategic game than some others, with aspects of finance (like patents and royalties) involved too – if you’re a budding tycoon, you might really enjoy it.

Because not all the game strategy depends on simply being good with words, it doesn’t matter if some players have a larger vocabulary than others. It’s suitable for children, too, so you can play it as a family game.

#7: Dabble (2+ players)

Dabble is a family-friendly game where you compete with other players to be the first to create five words (of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 letters) using your 20 tiles. It’s very simple to get the hang of … but coming up with the words might be more challenging than you expect!

If you enjoy Boggle or Scrabble, you’ll probably have fun with Dabble. It’s a great way to develop both spelling and vocabulary, and to have fun with words.

#8: Upwords (2+ players)

Upwords is like 3D Scrabble: you can stack tiles on top of other tiles to create new words. The board is smaller than a Scrabble board (and doesn’t have double and triple word score squares) so it’s not as complex as it might initially sound.

Like similar games, it’s a great one for building vocabulary and for developing your spelling. It’s suitable for kids, too, so it could be a great game for the whole family.

#9: Tapple (2+ players)

Tapple has a wheel, with most of the letters of the alphabet on it, and lots of different “topic cards” that cover 144 different categories. There are lots of different ways you can play it – the basic rules are that each player has to think of a word that fits the topic within 10 seconds, but that word can’t start with a starting letter that’s been used previously.

While small children might find it a bit too challenging or frustrating, due to the short time limit, this could be a great game for older children looking to extend their vocabulary. All the categories are suitable for kids.

#10: Last Word (2+ players)

In Last Word, players have to come up with answers to “Subject” and “Letter” combinations, racing to get the last word before the buzzer. It works a bit like a combination of “Tapple” and “Pass the Bomb”.

You can easily play it with a large group (there are tokens for up to 8 players, but you could add more without affecting the gameplay). It’s a great way to develop vocabulary and, to some extent, spelling.

5 Roleplaying Games

While my geeky tendencies have been reined in a bit since I had kids, I’ll admit I have a great fondness for roleplaying games: ones where you come up with a character (often, but by no means always in a magic-medieval setting) and play as them. These are some great ones that you might like to try.

#1: Dungeons and Dragons (3+ players)

Although you might never have played Dungeons and Dragons, I’m sure you’ve heard of this classic roleplaying game that’s been around since 1974 and is now onto is 5^th edition. It takes rather longer to get to grips with than a board or card game: to play, you need a “Dungeon Master” (essentially the storyteller of the game) and at least two players (who each control a character), plus rulebooks and a lot of different dice.

It’s a great game for developing the “big picture” aspects of writing, like the ability to construct a plot and a story (if you’re the Dungeon Master) and the skills involved with creating a character, giving them a backstory, and acting “in character” as them (if you’re one of the players).

#2: Amazing Tales (1 parent, plus 1 or 2 children)

This is a kid-friendly RPG aimed at parents who want to create a story with their child(ren). It’s like a very simple version of Dungeons and Dragons, and has straightforward but flexible rules. You can play it with a single six-sided dice – though it’s better if you have four dice (with six, eight, ten and twelve sides).

If you want to encourage your child’s creativity and have fun creating stories together, this is a wonderful game to play. The rulebook contains lots of ideas and sample settings, with suggested characters and skills … but you can come up with pretty much any scenario you like.

#3: LARP (Live Action Roleplay) (lots of players)

Over the past decade or so, LARP has become a bit more mainstream than it once was. It’s short for “Live Action Roleplay” … which basically means dressing up as your character and pretending to be them. It’s a bit like Dungeons and Dragons crossed with improv drama.

The nature of LARP is that it needs quite a lot of people, so unless you have loads of friends to rope in, you’ll want to join an organised LARP – there are lots out there, covering all sorts of different themes, from traditional fantasy ones to futuristic sci-fi ones. Some are suitable for children, but do ask event organisers about this. They won’t necessarily involve any sort of writing, but can be a great way to explore characters and dialogue.

#4: MUDs (lots of players)

MUDs, or “multi-user dungeons” have been around since the early days of networked computing in the ‘70s, and are the forerunners of games like Fortnite and World of Warcraft. They’re now distinctly retro-looking text-based online games, where players create a character and interact with other characters and the world.

Like other types of roleplaying game, they’re a great way to practice storytelling and character-development skills. They also involve a lot of writing – so they can be useful for things like vocabulary and spelling. Some are suitable for children, but as with anything online, do ensure your children know how to be safe (e.g. by not giving out their full name, address, etc).

#5: Online Forum Games / Forum Roleplaying (2+ players)

Some fan communities write collaborative fanfiction through forums (here’s an example), with different people posting little pieces as different “characters” to continue a story. These can be quite involved and complex, and they can be a great way to learn the skills of telling a long, detailed story (e.g. if you’re thinking of writing a novel).

They’ll probably appeal most to writers who are already producing fanfiction on their own, and who have a fair amount of time for the back-and-forth required for forum roleplaying. Again, if your child wants to get involved with this type of roleplaying, do make sure you monitor what they’re doing and who they’re interacting with.

10 Word Games You Can Play on Your Phone

These days, many writers are more likely to have their phone to hand than a pen and paper … and to be fair, there’s nothing wrong with that. You can easily make notes on a phone, whether by tapping them in or by recording them. If you find yourself with a bit of time on your hands, why not try one of these writing-related games?

Note: all of these are free to download, but most allow in-app purchases, and you may find you need to make a purchase to get the most out of them.

#1: Bonza Word Puzzle

This game is a bit like a deconstructed crossword: you get bits of the puzzle and you drag them together to form words that will all match with the clue. If you’re a fan of crosswords and want something a bit different, you might just love it.

It’s a great way to think hard about letter patterns and how words are put together, so it might be a good game for older children who’re looking to develop their spelling and vocabulary, too.

#2: Dropwords 2

Dropwords 2 (a rewrite of the original Dropwords) is a word-finding puzzle where letters drop from the top of the screen: if you remember Tetris, you’ll get the idea. It’s a bit like Scrabble or Boggle, and you have to race the clock to make letters out of the words on the screen.

With six different modes (“normall”, “lightning”, “relax”, etc), it’s suitable for children and for people who are learning English, as well as for those wanting to really challenge their vocabulary skills.

#3: Spellspire

Spellspire is a fantasy-style game where you select letters from a grid to create words: the longer the word, the bigger the blast from your magic wand! You can kill monsters, buy better equipment, and make your way to the top of the Spellspire.

If your kids aren’t very motivated to practice their spelling, this could be a great game for them. (Or, let’s face it, for you!) You can also choose to play it against your Facebook friends, adding a competitive element.

#4: TypeShift

This is a relatively simple game that lets you create words from letters arranged on different dials. There are a couple of different ways you can play: by trying to use all the letters on the dials at least once to create words, or by tackling the “Clue Puzzles”, which are a bit like crossword clues.

Again, if you want to develop your spelling and vocabulary, this is a straightforward game that you can use to do so. You can buy extra puzzle packs at a fairly reasonable price, if you find that you want to play it a lot.

#5: Wordalot

This crossword app uses pictures rather than written clues, which is a fun twist. You can use coins to get hints (you can earn these through the game, or purchase them with real money).

If you enjoy doing crosswords but want something a bit different, give this one a try. You might find that as well as helping you develop your spelling and vocabulary, it’s a great way to develop your lateral thinking as you puzzle out the clues.

#6: WordBrain

This game is another one where you have to find hidden, scrambled words within a grid. There are loads of different levels (1180!) and so this could keep you busy for a long time. You can purchase hints – this could potentially see you clocking up quite a spend, though.

All the words are appropriate for children (though some are tricky to spell), so your kids might well enjoy this game too, as a way to develop their spelling and vocabulary.

#7: Ruzzle

Ruzzle works like Boggle, with a 4×4 grid of letters that you use to make words (the letters must be adjacent to one another). You can play it against friends, or simply against random players.

Like the other apps we’ve looked at, it’s a good one for developing your vocabulary and spelling. Some players said it included too many ads, so this is something to be aware of if you plan to use the free version rather than upgrading.

#8: WordWhizzle Search

This is a word search type game with loads of different levels to play. If you enjoy word searches, it’s a great way to carry lots around in your pocket! You can play it alone or with Facebook friends. It’s easy to get to grips with, but the levels get increasingly tricky, so you’re unlikely to get bored quickly.

As with other apps, this is a great one for developing your spelling and vocabulary. Each level has a particular description (words should match with this), so you have to avoid any “decoy” words that don’t match.

#9: 7 Little Words

This game works a bit like a crossword: each puzzle has seven clues, seven mystery words, and 20 tiles that include groups of letters. You need to solve the clues and rearrange the letter types so you can create the answers to the mystery words – so it’s also a bit like an anagram.

There are five different difficulty levels (“easy” to “impossible”) and each game is quick to play, so this could be a good one for kids too. Again, it’s a great way to develop vocabulary and spelling.

#10: Words With Friends

This classic word-building game is hugely popular, and you can play against your Facebook or Twitter friends, or against a random opponent. It works just like Scrabble, where you have seven letter tiles and add them to a board.

You can chat with the opponent in a chat window, so do be aware of this if you’re allowing your kids to play. The game is a great way to develop vocabulary and spelling, and you can play it fairly casually because there’s no time limit on your moves.

10 Word Games You Can Play in Your Browser

What if you want a writing-related game you can play while taking a break at your computer? All of these are games that you can play in your browser: some involve a lot of writing and are essentially story-telling apps, whereas others are essentially digital versions of traditional pen and paper games.

Unless otherwise noted, these games are free. With some free browser games, you’ll see a lot of ads. If this annoys you, or if you’re concerned that the ads may be unsuitable for your children, you may want to opt for premium games instead.

#1: Wild West Hangman

This is a digital version of Hangman, which we covered above. You choose a category for words (e.g. “Countries” or “Fruits And Vegetables”) and then you play it just like regular Hangman.

It’s simple enough for children – but it only takes six wrong guesses for your cowboy to be hanged, too, so it could get frustrating for younger children.

#2: Word Wipe

In Word Wipe, you swipe adjacent tiles (including diagonals) to create words, a bit like in Boggle. The tiles fall down a 10×10 grid (moving into the blank spaces you’ve created when your word disappears from the grid) – your aim is to clear whole rows of the grid.

Since the easiest words to create are short, simple ones, this is a great game for children or for adults who want to get better at spelling.

#3: Sheffer Crossword

As you might expect, this is a crossword game! There’s a different free puzzle each day, and you can choose from puzzles from the past couple of weeks. It looks very much like a traditional crossword, and you simply click on a clue then type in your answer.

The clues are straightforward rather than cryptic, though probably not easy enough to make this a good app for children or for English learners. If you’re a fan of crosswords, this will definitely be a great way to develop your vocabulary, though.

#4: Twine

Twine is a bit different from some of the other games we’ve looked at: it’s a tool for telling interactive stories (a bit like the old “Choose Your Own Adventure” books, or a text-based adventure game). You lay out your story as different cards and create connections between them.

If you want to experiment with interactive fiction, this is a simple, code-free to get started – as reviewer Kitty Horrorshow puts it, “if you can type words and occasionally put brackets around some of those words, you can make a Twine game”. It’s a great way to deepen your understanding of story, plot and narrative.

#5: Storium

Like Twine, Storium is designed to help you tell stories … but these stories are written in collaboration with others. (There’s a great review, with screenshots, here on GeekMom.) You can either join a story as a character within it, or you can narrate a story – so this is a great game for building lots of different big-picture fiction-writing skills.

It’s suitable for teens, but probably involves a bit too much writing for younger children. If you’d like to write fiction but the idea of creating a whole novel on your own seems a bit overwhelming, or if you enjoy roleplaying-type games (like Dungeons and Dragons), then you might just love Storium.

#6: Words for Evil

This game combines a fantasy RPG setting (where you fight monsters, get loot, gain levels and so on), with word games to play along the way. It could be a good way to encourage a reluctant young teen writer to have fun playing with words – or you might simply enjoy playing it yourself.

The word games work in a very similar way to Word Wipe, so if you found that game frustrating, then Words for Evil probably isn’t for you!

#7: First Draft of the Revolution

This game is an interactive story, told in the form of letters (epistolary). It comes at writing from a much more literary angle than many of the other games, and if you’ve studied English literature or creative writing, or if you teach writing, then you might find it particularly interesting.

The graphics are gorgeous – playing the game is like turning the pages of a book. To play First Draft of the Revolution, you make choices about how to rewrite the main character (Juliette’s) draft letters – helping you gain insight into the process of drafting and redrafting, as well as affecting the ongoing story.

#8: Writing Challenge

Writing Challenge can be used alone or with friends, creating a collaborative story by racing against the clock. You can use it as an app on your phone, as well as on your computer, so you can add to your stories at any time.

If you struggle to stay motivated when you’re writing, then Writing Challenge could be a great way to gamify your writing life – and potentially to create collaborative works of fiction.

#9: Plot Generator

Plot Generator works a bit like Mad Libs: you select a particular type of story (e. g. short story, movie script, fairytale) then enter a bunch of words as prompted. The website creates the finished piece for you. There are also options for story ideas (essentially writing prompts), character generators, and much more on the site.

If you’re stuck for an idea, or just want to play around a bit, Plot Generator could be a lot of fun. Some of the options, like Fairy Tale, are great to use with young children – others may not be so suitable, so do vet the different options first.

#10: The Novelist ($9.99)

The Novelist follows the life of Dan Kaplan, a struggling novelist who’s also trying to be a good husband and father. You can make choices about what Dan should do to reach his goals in different areas of his life – and the decisions you make affect what happens next in the game. You are a “ghost” in the house, learning about and influencing the characters.

While there’s not any actual writing involved in the game, it could be a thought-provoking way to explore how writing fits into your own life.

10 Games to Help You Learn to Type

Typing might seem like an odd thing to include on a list of writing games. But so much of writing involves being able to type – and if you’re a slow typist, you’ll find that your fingers can’t keep up with your brain! While most people find that their typing does naturally improve with practice, these games are all quick ways for you (or your kids) to get that practice in a fun way.

Obviously, all of these games should help to improve typing skills: those which involve whole words may also help with spelling and vocabulary. Unless otherwise mentioned, they’re free.

#1: Dance Mat Typing

This game is designed to teach children touch type (type without looking at the keyboard). It starts off with Level 1, teaching you the “home row” (middle row) keys on the keyboard. Other letters are gradually added in as the game progresses.

It’s very much aimed at kids, so teens and adults may find the animated talking goat a bit annoying or patronising! Unlike many other free games, though, it doesn’t include ads.

#2: Spider Typer

This typing game took a while to load for me: you too many find it’s a bit slow. In the game, you type the letters that appear on chameleons that are trying to catch a spider (the chameleons disappear when you hit their letter). The spider keeps rising up into a tree, and if it safely gets there, you move on to the next level.

It’s suitable for kids, and starts off very easy with just letters: if you set it to a harder difficulty, you need to type whole words.

#3: NitroType

This is a competitive typing game where you race a car against friends (or total strangers) by typing the text at the bottom of the screen. It’s a good one for practicing typing whole sentences, including punctuation – not just typing letters or words.

Older children might enjoy it, and any adults with a strong competitive streak! You can compete as a “guest racer”, or you can create an account and login so you can level up and gain rewards like a better car.

#4: TypeRacer

TypeRacer is similar to NitroType: you control a racing car and the faster you type, the faster your car moves. You can practice on your own, enter a typing race, or race against your friends if you prefer.

If you create an account and login, other users can see your username, score, average speed and so on – and they can also send you messages. This could potentially open you up to receiving spam or unwanted communications, so do be aware of this, particularly if you’re allowing your child to play.

#5: The Typing of the Ghosts

In this game, you destroy ghosts by typing the word on them. The graphics are pretty rudimentary, though it is a free game and a good way to practice quickly typing words. It’s suitable for children, and the sound effects (there’s a noise for every letterstroke) may appeal to kids.

You don’t need to create an account or login: you can simply start playing straight away.

#6: Typing Chef

In this game, you type cooking-related words (usually types of equipment). It involves single words and a few double words with a space between at the early levels.

There’s nothing particularly unusual about this game compared with others, though it wasn’t so ad-heavy as some and doesn’t require any registration. It’s good for teaching words and phrases, but not for helping you to learn to type whole sentences.

#7: TypeTastic

This is a fun typing game aimed at young kids, so it starts with the fundamentals. You start by building a keyboard from letter blocks, then learn how to spot letters on the keyboard quickly before learning where those letters are located.

Teachers or parents might be interested in reading about why the game starts with mapping the keyboard. The interface and graphics are pretty good, given that it’s a free game, and it’s designed specifically with young children in mind.

#8: Typer Shark! Delux

This is a free typing game, where you’re a diver exploring the seas. You can choose from different difficulty levels, and – in a mechanic that’s probably by now quite familiar if you’ve played any of the other typing games – you get rid of creatures like sharks by typing the word written on them.

Again, this can help you with your typing speed and accuracy. I found it was a bit slow to load, but it’s not full of ads like some other games.

#9: Typing Attack

In this game, you’re a spaceship, facing enemy spaceships – each with a word written on them. I expect you can guess what you need to do: type the word correctly to destroy the spaceship. Some words are shorter, some longer, and as with other games, there are multiple difficulty settings.

You’ll need to watch an ad before the game loads, which can be annoying, and means that it isn’t necessarily suitable for children.

#10: The Typing of the Dead: Overkill ($14.99)

This game is definitely aimed at adults rather than kids, because it’s a bit gory. It also costs $14.99, so it’s probably one that’ll suit you best if you’re really keen to improve your typing speed – perhaps you do transcription, for instance, or you’re a freelance writer.

To play the game, you type the words that appear in front of the enemies and monsters: each type you type a letter correctly, you send a bullet at them. If you like horror games and films, it could be a fun way to learn to type faster – but it won’t necessarily improve your accuracy with whole sentences.

10 Word Games that Are Particularly Suited to Kids

While I’ve tried to indicate above whether or not the games are suitable for kids, I wanted to list the ten that I’d particularly recommend if you want to help your children get a great start as budding writers.

Several of these are games I play with my five-year-old already; others are games I’m really looking forward to using with her and my son as they get older. I won’t repeat the full descriptions: just scroll back up if you want those.

#1: Word searches (pen and paper) – you can buy whole books of these, or print off free ones. Older kids might have fun creating their own for their friends or siblings.

#2: Bulls and Cows (pen and paper) – you can play this with just a pen and paper (or if you’ve got a really good memory, with nothing at all).

#3: Boggle (board game) – this is simple enough for quite young children to get the hang of it: my five-year-old enjoys playing it with her Granny.

#4: Story Cubes (dice game) – your child can use these on their own to come up with ideas for a story, or you could use them with a group of children – e.g. in a classroom or as part of a club.

#5: Amazing Tales (roleplaying) – this child-friendly RPG is a great way to introduce big-picture storytelling skills, particularly developing a character.

#6: Spellspire (phone app) – a fun spelling/word-creation game your child can play on your phone (and probably a bit more educational than yet another game of Angry Birds).

#7: Wild West Hangman (browser game) – if your child likes hangman but you don’t always have the time to play it with them, this is a good alternative.

#8: First Draft of the Revolution (browser game) – if your teen is interested in writing and/or the French revolution, they might really enjoy this intriguing game based around redrafting letters.

#9: Dance Mat Typing (typing game) – this game from the BBC is high-quality, and designed to appeal to young children. It teaches good typing practice from the start, by explaining correct finger placement on the keys.

#10: TypeTastic – this is another typing game aimed at young children, and this one starts with putting together a keyboard – a great place to begin.

The game is good, but the function of playing with friends, unfortunately, does not work

Hello, you need to be connected to the same WiFi to play with other users. After you connected to the same WiFi, you can see the option 'JOIN' on the screen of the game. You need to click that button. If there is anything we can help you with, please inform us. thank you.

Great idea!

A very well-made game: it's interesting to play, the pictures are beautiful, and at the same time you improve the geography.
But there is a significant drawback: adverbs and even verbs are often mistaken for words, although such a game involves the use of only nouns. Diminutive nouns (river - river) are also used, which is also usually not done in such games. For me, the disadvantage is significant, despite the excellent design and a small amount of advertising.

Games for the summer camp - article - Corporation Russian textbook (Drofa-Ventana publishing house)

1.

Cheerful engine

Children stand in a column one at a time and put their hands on the shoulders of the upcoming person. If the group is large, then you can create several columns. To move in such a "composition" should be at the direction of the Conductor.

The counselor lists the rules of the game:

can't talk
all but the last have their eyes closed,
a special hero - the Explorer - the last participant becomes it.

Commands-movements from Explorer:

clap on the right / left shoulder - turn right / left,
clap on two shoulders - moving forward,
double clap on two shoulders - backward movement,
shot on the shoulders - a signal to stop.

The task of the Guide is to lead the “fun little train” along the route that the leader sets.

To start the game again, the last participant stands in front of the column, thereby making the other, penultimate, member of the game the Conductor.

2. Unknown little animal

Players are given the task to portray a specific animal (cat, elephant, giraffe, hare), using any (or specifically specified) materials at hand. As such materials, you can use pencils, felt-tip pens, rulers, branches, leaves, cones, and so on. The task is carried out in absolute silence, thereby allowing the team to show its cohesion in full force.

You can complicate the task by setting a certain time for drawing up a “drawing”.

3. Associations

A leader is selected, whose task is to choose and mentally guess one of the participants in the game.

Tasks for participants: guess the intended player.

In order to guess the conceived participant, the players should ask questions to which the leader will answer with an association. For example, if this member would be music, what would it be? if a body of water, what kind? what animal? what weather? etc. Thus, a number of interesting associations will be collected about the intended participant, according to which the players will have to “calculate” the person.

The next leader is the player who was thought of.

4. Village magicians

The group of participants is divided into sorcerers and ordinary villagers.

Sorcerers are able to enchant (“freeze”, “turn to stone”) villagers with a specific movement (the movement is determined in advance: clapping on the right shoulder, hugging, etc.). After the set movement, the villager stops and freezes, waiting for one of the other participants to “disenchant” him.

Only another inhabitant is capable of disenchanting a frozen person (the movement for this is also determined in advance - it can be a light tap on the other shoulder, a handshake, a kiss, etc.).

The purpose of the sorcerers: to enchant the entire village.

The purpose of the villagers: to prevent the sorcerers.

5. Crocodile

The participants are divided into two teams.

One group guesses a word. In advance, you should choose a form, number of words or topics, for example, only nouns, or only one word, or only the name of the cartoons.

From the second group, a player is selected who is told the hidden word. This participant, without uttering a word, only with the help of facial expressions and gestures, must explain to his team the hidden word.

As soon as the word is guessed, a participant from the other team is selected.

6. Touch…

The counselor acts as a leader or one of the guys is selected.

The facilitator's task is to name the material (glass, leather, cotton, wood, metal), object (pen, board, chair), person (boy, girl, someone from the group).

The task of the participants: having heard the leader’s command, find and touch the specified object or person as quickly as possible. It is forbidden to touch objects on yourself, you need to look for objects on someone or on something.

7. Fairytale snowball

The game is a variation of the well-known snowball game, that is, it is built on the principle of making up a story with a constant repetition of all the previous elements of the sentence.

The first player pronounces his word, the second participant repeats the same word and adds his own word to what was said, the third player repeats the first two words and also adds his own.

The peculiarity of this game is to compose a coherent story, and not the usual repetition of a set of random words. Also, the “bonus” is the theme that was originally set. Although, you can come up with not a fabulous theme, but any other that the children like.

8. Cheerful numbers

All players receive numbers and cards on which they are invited to write down comic forfeit tasks: guess a riddle, sing a song, etc. All task cards are returned to the leader.

The music turns on, and the players begin to pass numbers to each other from hand to hand. The host, at his own discretion, stops the music at any place and reads out one of the cards, for example, “Number 6 should play patty with number 10.” Due to the fact that the players have already exchanged numbers, at first it is not clear for whom this or that task is intended. It is also quite probable that the participant who wrote the task for another player will have to fulfill his phantom himself.

9. Tamara and I go together...

Participants are divided into teams, each team requires a pair of players. Players become "Siamese twins": they stand next to each other, hand in hand; touching hands can be tied or agreed that the participants will hug each other with these hands around the waist. With the same hands that remained free, it will be necessary to complete the task. Tasks can be very different, but should be aimed at performing manipulations together, for example, tie shoelaces or a bow, wrap a gift, peel a banana.

The pair that completes the task the fastest wins.

10. Trap

The players are divided into two teams. Some participants take each other's hands, thereby forming a circle - this will be a game "trap". Other players have a more mobile role - they depict various birds and insects, in a word, all creatures that are able to fly.

When the host gives a signal (you can turn on the music), the participants in the trap raise their hands up, opening the “entrance” to the “birds” and “insects”. Players can fly in and out of the trap freely. At his discretion, the host again gives the command (or, for example, turns off the music) when the trap should “slam” - the participants in the trap lower their hands.

Those players that were inside the trap now become a trap themselves, the participants change roles.

11. Big family photo

The participants imagine that they are all a big and friendly family. One day the family decides to take a group photo for the family album.

First, a "photographer" is chosen - it is he who will "arrange" the participants in the photo shoot. Next, they choose a “grandfather”, who, by seniority, also helps to arrange “family members”. The rest of the participants are invited to decide for themselves who they will be in the family, and where they want to be located in the photo.

For children, the game is interesting for the process, and for educators, it is an opportunity to identify leaders and determine sympathy in the team.

After all the participants have defined roles for themselves, stood up for posing (with the help of the photographer and grandfather), the photographer counts to three - everyone shouts “cheese” and simultaneously clap their hands.

12. Caterpillar

The participants stand one after another, holding their hands on the waist of the previous player. The host explains that this column is a caterpillar, so such a chain can no longer be broken. The caterpillar is active - it eats, sleeps, washes, walks, goes shopping, dances, etc. All children must move smoothly around the room, without breaking the chain, and following the leader's commands.

13. True or false?

The participants sit in a circle. Each player receives a piece of paper and a pen. Task: each participant must write three sentences to himself, and two of these statements must be true, and one must be false.

Then, in turn, the players read their phrases, the task of the rest is to try to determine what is true and what is false. All assumptions about the truth or fiction of a particular phrase should be substantiated.

The most useful and interesting thing is that the author of the phrase does not immediately respond to the assumptions of other participants, but listens to them patiently. The players' reasoning about the "deceitful" phrase will be the best way to give an idea of how other people perceive the author.

14. Quiet-louder

A game similar to the fun "hot-cold".

Participants sit in a circle. The driver turns his back to the participants, during this time the guys pass the agreed object to one person. When the driver returns to the circle, he does not know who has this object - to determine - this is his task.

When the driver enters the circle, the rest of the participants begin to sing a song (at the choice of the players). The closer the leader is to the person who hides the secret object, the louder the song is sung, and vice versa.

If the item was found, the driver changes. If it was not possible to establish the location of the item, the game continues.

15. Guess what they did

The driver is selected, then he steps aside. The rest of the participants quietly agree on their riddle.

The driver returns to the prepared children and asks his question:

- Hello, friends. Where have you been? What did you do?

Players respond:

- Where we were - we will not say, but what we did - we will show!

And all the participants begin to show the action they have envisioned with facial expressions and gestures. The action can be anything: playing football, walking the dog, eating, watching a movie in the cinema, etc.

If the riddle is guessed, the driver joins the rest of the players, and the new driver is selected (you can choose the driver according to the principle of the one from whose prompt he managed to guess the intended action). If the riddle is not solved, then the participants come up with a new action, and the driver leads again.

16. Digital Fortress

All participants receive cards with a different number of circles. In order to get to the "fortress", the players must make some calculations.

On the gates of the fortress (you can make a fortress by placing chairs in a row) there should be a sheet of paper with a number that is a “pass” when entering it. You can get this number by adding the numbers on the two cards. The task of the players is to find their number pair.

17. River crossing

A plot of three to five meters in size is drawn on the floor - this is a “river”. The task of the detachment is to cross the river from one bank to another. During the “crossing” process, only five touches can be performed (five for the entire group). If the touch happened with both hands/feet, for example when jumping, it counts as one.

A game of ingenuity and community of the group. The task is not so difficult, but mutual assistance and organization are important in it.

18. Fixing

All participants stand in a circle. Each player silently chooses to pair with any other participant in the circle. Nobody knows who chose whom. The counselor says the rule, which is that each player must take clearly 15 steps in such a way as to approach the hidden person and fix any figure invented with him (for example, draw a heart, stretch out his arms, spread his legs shoulder-width apart, etc. .).

When the movement begins, the counselor loudly begins to count each step.

The game allows you to select leaders, groups, set the level of cohesion in the squad.

After the game, it is worth discussing all the actions, how the participants should have acted, so that everyone gets a pair, and everyone can reach their pair.

19. Broken phone

All participants sit in a row. The driver says in a whisper in the ear any conceived word to the first player. The first player also transmits in the ear the word that he heard to the second. So the word is whispered to the last player. When the word is passed, all players take turns calling the word they heard. The participant who was the first to incorrectly convey the hidden word of the leader is transferred to the end of the chain, and the game continues with a new word.

20. I was born a gardener...

They choose the driver - he will be the "gardener". The rest of the participants choose for themselves the name of any flower, without repeating themselves, and during the game they respond only to it.

The driver begins the game with the words: “I was born a gardener, I was seriously angry, I was tired of all the flowers except ...”. Next, the word of any of the “present” colors is inserted, for example, gladiolus.

Gladiolus should exclaim: "Oh!".

Gardener: "What's wrong with you?"

Gladiolus: "I'm in love"

Gardener: "To whom?"

Gladiolus: "Into the chrysanthemum!"

Chrysanthemum: "Oh!"

Further, the dialogue already begins between Gladiolus and Chrysanthemum, finding a continuation with other colors. Moreover, the Gardener can also be called, the more it is easier to remember him than all the flower participants.

If one of the participants responded not to his name, or forgot to respond to his own, or thought too much, such a player leaves, and the game starts again with the same colors. Thus, there is a “screening out” of those who have forgotten their names or are not very quick guys. Instead of leaving the game, you can arrange a "retribution" phantom.

21. Fanta

A fantasy game in which all participants give the host one of their personal items (hair band, bracelet, toy, pen, etc.), and then one of the players takes out a fanta, and the other, without looking, assigns a task to the owner of the fanta ( read a verse, sing a song, meow, dance, etc.), which must be completed in order to return your item back.

22. Myrshim

All participants are distributed on the sides of the room. They choose a driver who is asked to leave the room for a while. At this moment, one of the players is given a piece of cheese or caramel, which he must put in his mouth by the cheek.

When the driver returns to the room, all participants continuously pronounce the same word: “Myrshim”. The task of the driver is to guess the player with a treat in his mouth. The driver can move around the perimeter and listen to the participants.

If the driver guesses correctly, then he joins the players in the circle, and the “owner” of the cheese becomes the driver.

23. Addams Family

The "Family" can be played only with those players who do not know its essence.

So, participants who are unfamiliar with the game leave the room. Then, one by one, the guys return to the room. The host or several hosts (in fact, all those who have already passed the “test” or are familiar with the game) can be the hosts: “Hello, we are the Addams family. Do you want to join our family? Then have us clap for you." Without adding anything, the host falls silent and watches the participant. As soon as the participant begins to perform any actions, the whole “family” immediately repeats them. The participant may think that he needs to do something unusual and funny in order to earn applause, but the hosts continue to repeat his manipulations. The game continues until the participant understands that he needs to clap his hands himself.

24. Poetry

A game of imagination and improvisation.

The first participant comes up with some line - this will be the first line of the poem. The second player comes up with the second line, the third - the third, etc. The main task is to pick up a rhyme, the meaning is not so important.

The resulting poem is best written down immediately.

25. Titanic

The leader is selected. All other participants climb onto chairs or benches - this will be the sinking Titanic. The ship is sinking slowly, so that drowning people have a little time. The task of the players is to save as many people as possible.

Every twenty to thirty seconds, the leader takes one chair or shortens (with an imaginary line, objects) the length of the bench.

26. Ball

A long rope is tied into a ring. The driver turns his back to the players, the rest of the participants, holding the rope with both hands, get entangled so that a “tangle” is obtained. The task of the driver is to unravel this tangle and re-create the original ring.

27. Line up according to sign

A simple game to determine the similarity of each other.

The facilitator instructs the participants to line up according to the following signs:

by gender;
by height;
by hair color;
by eye color;
by the first letter of the name, surname;
by the color of the clothes, etc.

28. Sausage, ketchup, Coca-Cola

Participants line up one after another with a train, holding the previous person by the waist.

The task of the game is to pronounce words and perform certain movements at the same time for everyone:

"Sausage!" - the players take a step with their right foot;

"Ketchup!" - step with the left foot;

"Coca Cola!" - movements similar to the lambada dance.

Having done everything two or three times, the participants move on to the next “level” - now they need to grab the waist not of the previous neighbor, but of the previous previous neighbor (that is, forward through one). The movements are repeated. Then you should hug the player standing on 2, 3, etc. person in front.

29. Who is missing?

A simple game for quick reaction and memorization.

All players close their eyes. The facilitator quietly touches one of the participants so that he leaves the room for a while.

The players open their eyes and try to determine who is missing in the room. The participant who correctly guessed who is missing becomes the leader himself.
