Current Language Games

Posted by Unknown

Language games already exist, and I decided that I need to know what language games already exist for children to get an idea for what a language game I create would look like.

  1. Word Puzzles. These can be fill-in-the-blank, or other formats. These games require certain words to be found to complete objectives.
  2. Reading comprehension. These games require players to look at a page of text and identify what certain words mean using context clues or prior knowledge.
  3. Word/Letter sounds. These games use audio to help players understand how words and letters sound when spoken.
  4. Synonym/Antonym. These games require players to find which words are opposites of each other or similar to each other.
  5. Crossword Puzzles. These games require players to find a word to fit in a certain space using definition and word length as the only clues. As more words are discovered, words that cross other words also give hints to what another word may be. These can be as simple or as advanced as the gamemaker wishes.
These are just a few examples of the hundreds of language games that exists, but these are extremely common types.
