  1. I really like this resource. I have used it today with my 1st of ESO students to practice vocabulary about Saint Patrick's Day. It is a very simple game and very easy to create, and it works very well with young learners. If you use it with the interactive blackboard, they really enjoy it and are eager to participate, even those who are usually quiet or demotivated!

  2. Interesting resource. I think that Vocabulary is very important to practice, but difficult to make students learn it by heart. So, I think it is a very easy way to improve this skill.

  3. WOOOOW!!! I love this resource! I will use it for sure, mainly to work on vocabulary items.
    It is very easy to crate and it becomes visual in a second. I love visual material as I believe students get automatically more motivated and interested when the Language is supported by visual material.
