Guessing games

Our guessing games adapted from the traditional game of Hangman are a great way for ESL kids to practise and improve their vocabulary and spelling skills. Although designed as components of our online units, these games can be used separately, in any way you like or need.

There are 36 topic-based online guessing activities to choose from. Each game comes with twelve words to guess. Also, you can download some corresponding worksheets to learn offline.

Here, on this page, in one place, you can browse them all sorted alphabetically by topic. Each guessing game is presented in its own box with a relevant wordlist and a link to the content page.
