Junior High School English Games

Whether you are responsible for educating an entire classroom of students or simply looking for some fun, educational activities to do at home as a family, games offer an opportunity to encourage interplay. According to Scholastic, "Board games can foster the ability to focus and lengthen your child's attention span by encouraging the completion of an exciting, enjoyable game." Help youths practice the fundamentals of grammar, math, science and history as well as practice financial, geography and solar system facts.

Pursuit Language Arts
- Intended for two to four players, the Pursuit Language Arts board game challenges students as they move around a multicolored board answering questions and strategically plotting their next move. Players practice building words and matching prefixes with roots. They take turns twirling the spinner and striving to reach the center of the board. The first player to the center with all four of his pawns wins the game. Build a vocabulary of more than 200 words, using the most commonly used prefixes and 68 root words.
Quiz Hub
- Students enjoy practicing their weaknesses and building on their strengths at the Quiz Hub online site. Numerous different types of games are available covering various subjects, including spelling, animals, math, geography, U.S. history, chemistry, biology and astronomy. Take stimulating, challenging quizzes on multiplication facts, flags and countries, states and capitals and the metric system. Traditional games such as checkers, chess, Mancala, Othello and peg are also available. Kids can play individually, in partners or as teams. Prepare for state and college entrance exams on this website and find links for further fun educational learning sites.
Gram Millionaire
- Gram Millionaire affords students the opportunity to learn about money by properly answering grammar questions. Over 150 multiple choice questions covering verb tenses, gerunds and infinitives, conditionals, make-do and articles are included. Youths also get a chance to flex their grammar muscles by showing off their adjective clauses, comparisons and prepositions knowledge. They identify sentences with proper grammar usage, moving around the game board from dollar space to dollar space and up the pyramid when answering questions correctly. Special spaces that advance play more rapidly apply. Players are timed when giving answers to make play challenging. The first person to the top of the pyramid wins.
