ESL Spelling Games for Elementary Students
Teaching elementary ESL spelling is hard when most apps assume native English readers. Spelling Bee on SchoolGames is designed for ESL learners: clear audio prompts, simple word lists pulled from the most-frequent 1000 English words, no slang or idioms. ESL teachers in the United States, Asia, and Europe use it as a 5-minute opener before grammar lessons. Free, no sign-up, works offline once the page loads.
How it works
An audio clip plays the word (clear neutral pronunciation). The student types the spelling into the input field. Press Submit. If correct: green checkmark and next word. If incorrect: the right spelling is shown side-by-side for comparison, then the game continues. After 10 words, accuracy and time are displayed. Replay button reshuffles the list.
