Want a fun way for learners to practice using sentence context to determine the correct homophone? Let's face it ... even adults sometimes have challenges with word choice.

With this game, learners have less than 15 seconds to race against the clock to choose the correct homophone. Here's the twist: The possible responses start disappearing after time. Incorrect answers lose points and correct answers earn points. Not only that, the faster learners answer correctly, the more points they earn.

At less than 3 minutes in duration, this is perfect for early-morning warmups or midday energizers.

Curious? Try it! Here's a preview of the functionality of Think Fast games. The preview version is for illustrative purposes only, This version has more response options than in the preview. Please refer to the thumbnails on this page to see an example of this game's content.

• Learners are presented with 10 questions out of a pool of over 200, ensuring it's never the same game twice!
• Learners are acknowledged by the name they entered when launching the game.
• Near Homophones: Sometimes, individual pronunciation/dialect impacts our word choice. The addition of near homophones, like "are" and "our" and "pen" and "pin" are included for extra measure.
• No Prep: Automatic scoring and answer key. Open/send the link and go!
• Remediation for incorrect responses.
• Replay option: Questions are randomly selected from a pool. Possible answer choices are shuffled. This combination makes it possible to produce a unique quiz with each replay attempt.

Fun Spelling Game: This is not your average spelling test!

Inspired by Among Us, learners have less than 15 seconds to race against the clock to identify the "imposter" word (the one that is spelled incorrectly). Here's the twist: The possible responses start disappearing after time. Incorrect answers lose points and correct answers earn points. Not only that, the faster learners answer correctly, the more points they earn. This game provides a fun way for learners to identify spelling errors and (hopefully) use these same detective skills to proofread their own work.

At less than 3 minutes in duration, this is perfect for early-morning warmups or midday energizers.
