HANGMAN game to learn English
Extremely popular game for vocabulary and just for fun both on paper and on screen.
Hangman is an old word game that children played together on paper to test their vocabulary skills. This is the classic paper hangman word game updated for the internet age. Our hangman game is a free online resource for kids learning English ESL EFL ESOL and can be played with over 100 different topics to improve your English language skills (vocabulary and sentences) and have some fun.
How our hangman improves your English
You are playing against the computer which selects a word or phrase from the topic you are learning. You must guess the letters in the words before you are hung. Wrong guesses add elements to the gallows that is gradually built on the beach, and the sky darkens and the clouds gather unless you guess correctly...the game ends either with you safely guessing the text and having a little dance, or with your character dangling from the gallows...
Make sure you do the simple lesson for your topic before attempting this hangman game or you may find it quite difficult...
How to play Hangman to learn English
- Select "Hangman" from the English games page.
- On the settings screen you can change topic or click "PLAY" to start the game.
- The scene is a beach - there is a English keyboard and empty numbered spaces for a English word or phrase.
- Spaces between words are marked by an underscore ( _ ) while other punctuation (.,-') is filled in for you.
- Guess letters in the word or phrase by clicking keys on the keyboard.
- Correct guesses add that letter to the appropriate spaces in the word or phrase.
- Wrong guesses add pieces to the gallows and hangman. Wrong letters are displayed above the keyboard with a cross next to them.
- Continue guessing until you complete the English word or phrase, or your character is hung.
- If you win, you get to see the happy man animation and to hear some clapping.
- If you lose, no animation, no music, just some gloomy boings - switch them off by clicking on the gallows.
- You can play multiple rounds and the program will keep your score against the computer.
