WordOff

This game is a little more difficult than the previous two and requires a little more brainpower! Wordoff is a two player game. That means you can play it with a friend…Yay! 

To play click one of the colored letters. The letters appear blue if you are player 1 and purple if you are player 2. Now try and make a word using the letters surrounding the letter you clicked.

For example – In the picture below  ↓↓↓ you can click A and then I and then R….Air! The aim of the game is to win hexagons. This is a hexagon → top-hex

Emotions

P6, play and learn, , , , ,

P6 are learning to use new adjectives to describe feelings and emotional reactions. Like – Frightened/ frightening , amazed/ amazing , interested/ interesting and disappointed/ disappointing.

Remember:

The ‘ed‘ at the end of the adjective means you are describing the emotions of a person or animal. For example – I was frightened. He is amazed. 

The ‘ing‘ at the end of the adjective means you are describing the thing or situation. For example – The movie was disappointing. The book is interesting.

I found a great game to help you revise ’emotions’ vocabulary. Hopefully you will learn some new words too. Use a dictionary or Google translate if you don’t understand a word!
