Today I found a game for students who speak English as a second language.

Curriculum Connection:
This game connects to the English curriculum and focuses on vocabulary development as well as ideas of possessives and pronouns.
Game Analysis and Overview:
There are several levels of play. I chose the most basic level and found that the content would certainly be appropriate even for a 4th grader who is learning English. In the game, students click to spin a wheel of 9 categories, ranging from "Colors" to "How Many?" to "This/that." The questions are multiple choice and you earn points as you play. The site only allows you to play up to 20 questions before you are prompted to pay to use the sit for longer but I think that the 20 questions would suffice as an independent station or in a small group setting, not only for students in an ESL program, but also for students who are struggling with basic ideas of grammar. There are also some whimsical touches to the game. In particular, the player gets to choose from 35 avatars including Dr. King, Marilyn Monroe, and Abraham Lincoln.
