KLOO language resources and games for schools

Man: KLOO is a multi-award winning game that makes learning a language easy and fun. Using special colour coded cards, players can learn how to make foreign sentences in seconds and build vocabulary as they play. KLOO is great at school for seven to 14 year olds, and players can start as absolute beginners.

Girl: And does that sentence, it’s got purple and blue arrows…

Man: Yes, yes.

Girl: All right, so you can put blue after it. So I can choose one of these, so I choose that one.

Man: Okay.

Boy: Seven plus four, we would go 11 spaces.

Boy: That’s an extra point because that means ice cream.

Boy: I know that.

Boy: Okay, so that’s four points: one, two, three, four.

Man: So how do you make a sentence with three cards?

Girl: So you always have to start with a red.

Man: Okay.

Girl: And then you just follow the arrows to try and make a sentence as long as you can.

Man: So you played a blue card. Why did you play the blue card?

Girl: Because the blue arrow. Because it’s an arrow that’s blue, so it says put a blue card next.

Man: Okay.

Woman: Games are so important for the simple fact that children don’t think they’re learning as well. They don’t see it as hard work, though there is that. They’re just enjoying it and having fun, which when for me as a teacher, when they’re going home go, “Oh we did nothing today. We just played games.” Actually that’s a great thing, because they’re learning as they go along. But the fact that they’re not realizing it, and they’re enjoying doing it as they go along. Quite competitive as well, and so they like that element of it, and they like just getting involved and being able to make long sentences and start translating words. They love it when they play it again when they go, “Oh, I remember this word from yesterday.”

Man: That element of fun and motivation is key, particularly to children of this age really. They almost are learning incidentally. They don’t realize they’re learning. They’re playing the game, enjoying playing the game, and in a way for them, the by-product is they’re learning. I think probably the first thing I do is get other teachers to play KLOO themselves, because there are a number of non-specialist people who haven’t got Spanish themselves and I think if they would learn how easy it is to begin to learn through playing the game.
