WordTag for English vocabulary & left brain exercise

WordTag is a great new FREE social gaming iPad App similar to 'Draw Something' and excellent for learning new vocabulary and left brain exercise. The aim of the game is for students to describe words to other students, friends or random players in 120 characters or less.


There are 3 levels of word difficulty to choose from (so it’s good for variety of English levels) and each word has six associated locked words that you can’t use e.g. for the word ‘AirBag’ you can’t use ‘car, crash, save, accident, cushion or inflate’.

Unlike Draw Something, the App keeps a history of all the words previously played as well as other stats such as points and badges. Great as a class warm-up or for fast finishers.
