I stumbled upon this game site Fun English Games while searching for some reading comprehension games for my son. This game gives you clues to a dictionary word. It would be a wonderful game for 4th, 5th and 6th graders, or anyone who wants to improve their vocabulary.
You are given a clue and then go to the game's dictionary to use the word definitions to help you find the correct answer.
When you select a word it gives you the word definition and you then have to pick the word with the definition that best fits the clue. Most aren't too hard and some clues even give you the letter the mystery word starts with.
Once you pick your word it makes a label for it and they you get to see if it was in the box.
This site also has a fun game I haven't seen before. It's a reading comprehension game with poems. You read the first 5 lines of a poem and then answer 3 questions about what you just read. I have seen many games like with reading passages but never one with poems before so I found this game to be unique. The questions ranged from "what does the author mean" to "what form of speech is being used in this example." It would also be a great game for older aged kids.
I found this site fun. The only problem with these games is that once you've played them, you've played them. They don't change. I found them very kid friendly, educational, and fun. http://www.funenglishgames.com/readinggames.htmlhttp://www.funenglishgames.com/readinggames.html
