Hey everyone. I'm a bit new here but I wanted to hop right
away to asking a question of you all.
I have a new job as an assistant language teacher at a
Japanese high school, and I've been looking at ways to diversify my lessons to
make them more engaging for the students. Anything electronic is like cat-nip
for these kids, and so far my projector based jeopardy games have been one of
the more successful tools in class.
A bit of a muse came to me though, and I wondered if I could integrate flash
games to help me teach. IE one idea: A game where you had to lead your
character around maze-like areas and avoid traps. I think a game like this
could teach them things like 'up, down, left, right, upstairs, downstairs, be
careful, go straight,' etc. IE they'd tell me where to go and I'd follow their
instructions, and then let some of the kids play as well upon queues from their
teammates/classmates.
But I wanted to get a sampling of any ideas that you all might have. Can anyone
think of any good flash games (and possible corresponding language key points)
that could help inspire these charming little buggers?
