Factile: Creating your own jeopardy game.

Language Learning games for the classroom are one of the best ways to promote language learning.

Ms Hind engaged the ELC staff on 25 April 2021 by introducing teachers to an innovative and free learning platform where they can create their own jeopardy games for online or in-person classrooms.

Ms Hind justified her endorsement as interesting features of Factile facilitate teachers to use user-friendly game -board templates and play Factile in four different ways: Jeopardy-style, multiple-choice, memory, or flashcards. She also recommends it as its multiple features make the lessons interactive and engaging. Some features that were listed were buzzer mode, images, sound effects, and many others. Ms Hind describes Factile as an effective tool to check students’ understanding of new topics and review the previous lessons.

Ms Hind concluded the session by reiterating that language learning games can generate immense interest and effectively gain students’ attention.
