Develop Learner Vocabulary
Developing vocabulary can be a lot of fun with 'Get the Pic?'.
This website is a vocabulary quiz game with pictures to help users guess words. Don't Worry the money isn't real!
A little like Hangman the difference being that you...
- Type 3 letters (use the mouse to click on the on-screen keyboard) and then you will see the 'hangman word' including those letters plus some pictures to help you guess the rest of the word.
- If you don't know what the word is, you can guess another letter by typing it as before (This costs you some of the $100 you start with; apparently provided to 'make the game more fun")
- If you are sure you know the word or the letters you can gamble some of the 'money'.
Note: Each game is timed and the quicker you get the word right, the more dollars you win.
If you get the word wrong or don't know it you can click to get a link to Wikipedia where you will find and explanation of the word.
