      A quick-fire number recognition/pronunciation computer game
      Submitted by debaixa on 2 November, 2009 - 15:31

      I´m thinking of perhaps a space-invaders style game where the student has to practice identifying numbers quickly. Maybe along the lines of "stress monsters" in the OUP English File on-line practice.

      I find my students really struggle, especially getting into the hundreds and thousands. A pronunciation element would be very helpful (a guide response for incorrect answers).

      Has anybody come across such a computer game?

      Does anyone have the programming skills/contacts to develop it?

      It might seem a bit hard and not acquirable by most pupils but I think more exposure to numbers and the way they are pronounced might help them and I think repetition might help. You might also use a song which you keep playing every class until they succeed in recalling memorizing and pronouncing the numbers. Best of luck
