Feed a fun character by dragging food items to the character's mouth. The character starts small and grows larger as it is fed. When all 10 food items have been fed, a celebratory song is played and the character will dance or perform a fun animation. The character will then shrink back down and the game starts again.
This game works well for individual play, partners and as a whole class activity.
This game works with both multiple choice question sets and words lists. You can also turn off questions and ask them verbally, use the game as a reinforcer or simply allow students free play.
