English games
English games: six word games on the words you actually need
Quick answer
On SpeakBase every English vocabulary set opens into six games: match, memory, fill the blank, blocks, audio and test. Play free with no signup on the ready-made sets for school grades and exams, or paste your own word list and play on that. Explanations come in your own language.
Most online English games teach random words: colours, animals, fruit. Nice, but Wednesday's test is on 20 specific words from unit 3. The idea here is the reverse: first choose the words (a library set or the teacher's list), then play any game on them. The game becomes the practice instead of a distraction from it.

Which game for what
- First meeting with the words: memory or match. Short, low-pressure games that pair a word with its meaning.
- Spelling: fill the blank and blocks. Both make you type or build the word, not just recognise it.
- Listening: audio. Hear the word in natural pronunciation and choose the meaning, without seeing the spelling.
- Before a test: test. Mixes multiple choice and typed questions and gives a score, like in class.
- In class: a teacher can open a live game where every student answers from their phone on the same set, with a leaderboard.
English games for kids
For younger learners, start with memory and match on the grade 4 and grade 5 sets. The sets follow the school curriculum, so the words in the game are the words in the book. Audio pronunciation also helps parents who are not sure how a word sounds. Play on a phone or tablet; each game takes two to five minutes.
Games on the teacher's words
Have a word list from the notebook? Open a free account, tap create set, paste the words (word and meaning on each line) and choose your explanation language. Within seconds all six games run on exactly those words, with audio. Teachers can share the set by link so the whole class plays on the same one.
And after the games
Once the words stick, it is time to speak them. Kate, the SpeakBase AI tutor, opens a short English conversation that uses the set's words and corrects you in your language. That is the part games cannot give: saying the word out loud, in your own sentence, and getting corrected on the spot.
Frequently asked questions
Are the games free?
Yes. All six games are open free with no signup on every public set in the library. A free account is only needed to create your own sets or save progress.
What age are the games for?
From about age nine upwards. Sets are organised by grade and by level (A1 to C1), so a fourth-grader and an exam candidate both find a game at their level.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. All games work in the mobile browser, and SpeakBase installs as an app from the browser without an app store.
Can I play against friends?
Yes. From any set you can challenge a friend to a duel (you both answer the same questions; the faster and more accurate player wins), and teachers can open a live game for the whole class. Both need a free account.
