Hangman is a great way to help you with your vocabulary. This particular website http://www.hangman.no/ has some useful features.
Here’s how it works:
FIRST, select English (the British Flag)…then
PLAY GAME allows you to play the game under a particular subject like ‘Movie Hero’s’, ‘Musical Instruments’, ‘Cartoon Hero’s’, ‘Frequently Misspelled Words’ etc. There’s also a ‘Two Player Game’ where you can type a word to be guessed by your partner. Also, you can use a ‘play code’ to play a ‘word list’ that has been prepared in advance by yourself or a friend (see below).
CREATE WORDLIST allows you to create your own word list and save it. The programme will give you a ‘play code’ that you can use when you go to the site; or you can give it to someone so that they can play your word list.
ENTER CODE allows you to enter the ‘play code’ to play a saved ‘wordlist’.
The aim of the game is to guess the word (or words), by choosing the correct letters. If you choose a letter that is not in the word, you get one step closer to being ‘hung’ (not nice!). You have a total of 10 guesses.
So, let’s begin the game. You need to type a letter from your computer keyboard (we suggest you begin with the vowels (a e i o u); but really, it’s up to you how you play). If the letter is correct, it will be entered on one of the ‘dashes’ at the bottom of the screen, just above ‘Guess a Letter’. If the letter is incorrect, you will take one step to being ‘hung’.
