The games can be used in the classroom and also at home.

It does not supply games for speaking or listening practice. For teachers who are looking for vocabulary games, it is a very useful website. The games are simple and easy to play, but there is no way to find out the appropriate levels and age groups. Teachers should decide which games will be used at what level for what purposes.
