ABOUT

This is a mini game for practising prepositions in English. It is suitable for
English as a second language students rather than native speakers. The
prepositions are generally basic and the vocal is quite low level.

A preposition is a word or phrase that shows a relationship between 2 things in
a sentence. For example the sentence "The book is on the shelf" contains 2
objects (book and shelf) and the preposition 'on' denotes a relationship between
them. Other examples of preposition include 'under', 'by', 'with', 'without',
'because of'. In this game, all the preposition used are prepositions of place
which means that they describe where objects are in relation to other objects.

The aim of this game is to give students an opportunity to practise prepositions
in a way that has a clear visual context. And in a way that is interactive with
immediate feedback. Students can actively move objects and see them positioned
according to a preposition; it is hoped that through this, students can get a
more concrete understanding of prepositions and their meaning. Each time a
student reads and understands a preposition and then moves the object
accordingly, they are re-enforcing the meaning in a realistic context.

To play the game a student just has to read the sentence and then move the
matching object to the correct position. The objects can be moved with their a
mouse or by touch using a mobile device. A total of 9 scenes are used in this
game: front room, bathroom, bedroom, fridge, park, cafe, classroom, TV and
office. These were chosen in the hope that they provide real-life context and
match situations in which students may actually hear and use prepositions in
their daily life. The prepositions used in this game include the following: in,
on, under, above, next to, right, left, behind, in front of and between. For
each of the 9 scenes there are 12 objects that must be positioned correctly;
once this has been done, the student proceeds to the next scene. The scenes get
progressively more difficult both in terms of the language and the time allowed.

If you think this game is too fast or too difficult for your students' English
level, then you can play in 'slow' mode. To play slowly, just click on 'slow' at
the title screen, or change the settings by clicking on the button in the game.

This game is made in Javascript using the CreateJS framework. If you have any
