It offers 12 different kinds of activities and games for learning and testing English vocabulary and grammar in different aspects. Personally, I used Sentence Monkey often in my class since some of the topics fit our lessons and my students are more familiar with the format of the game: drag the right words into the sentences or phrases. By answering correctly, the monkey will jump out to applaud for them. If they choose the wrong word, it will ask them to try it again. Luckily, we have an Internet-connected computer and an Over Head Projector in the classroom, and the number of items in one game fits the student number in my class, so it is possible to ask everyone of them to come to the computer to play it once with the help of the other classmates if they need. Learning language through this colorful and interesting game, my students learned a lot.
On the homepage of this website, you can find many orange tags for you to choose. You can choose according to the type of games and you also can choose according to the topics. It is time-saving for teachers to find a suitable one in the ocean of hundreds of games.
Under the tag of PPT/Printable, you can find many well-done worksheets, charts, flash cards and power points there just ready for you to print them out and bring to your classroom. If the teacher wants have some changes of the materials to make it more suitable for the class, they can do what they want based on these documents. It is also time-saving, effort-saving and convenient for teachers.
I have used Sentence Monkey in teaching and testing them Present Continuous and the Food Quantity in the class. They like them since it is fun, easy to manipulate and they learned something new outside of the textbooks.
