I would also recommend extra card packs for specific categories (the body/health, travel, business English, family & friends ….etc). However, Level 1 is not simple enough for my A1 students …who really like to learn through game playing! I recommend a COMPLETE BEGINNER LEVEL, incorporating sentence building components, choices of articles, quantifiers… in very short sentence form. I love the fact that the questions stimulate the students in a variety of ways that they find challenging. I have to transport the game inside a sturdier box. I love it! I agree with another user that the box could be stronger. The play is quite fast so the students don’t get bored, and they learn having fun.Ī great idea and a very good buy for me! I would certainly recommend it! I tried this game with a small group of 3 people of different levels of English and it worked really well! I was substituting another teacher who couldn’t be there, so it proved the perfect solution for a stimulating lesson. Very appropriate in an english course and for all levels ! My students love it ! The questions were challenging, level-appropriate, and diverse. I was thrilled to see how the game promoted conversation and animated the students. The other thing I noticed is that the millennial students, who rely heavily on digital technology, benefitted hugely from the friendly banter and conversation around the game that flows from board games. I found the game…engaging for all students – reading, listening, pronunciation, grammar, vocab, speaking – it had the lot going for it and even one of the students mentioned the same. Selena Long, English Teacher, Australia ★★★★★ The box could be made of sturdier cardboard but all other pieces and components are of good quality. The game is well thought out and challenges many categories of critical thinking. It’s a different vehicle for learning English and a nice change of pace. I was leary to purchase Word Up, sight unseen, and very pleasantly surprised when my students played their first game and really enjoyed the experience. I have now used this game for junior high school, high school and companies and it is always a big hit – works really well.
