Games in the Language Exchange Commons
✨ Pictionary
Put your drawing and vocabulary skills to the test! Choose your language, select a topic or generate your own, and take turns picking a card and drawing the object or concept while others guess what it is in the target language. It's a fun way to review vocabulary while being creative.

Alternative Language Activity Ideas
👁🗨Eye Spy
Explore the environment and challenge your partner to find objects based on your description. For example: “I spy something that is round and red.” This is a fantastic activity for practicing descriptive language and location words. You may even wish to switch it up and describe what the object is used for or what type of person might have one!
📸 Take a Photo and Recreate It
Snap a photo of a specific area and describe it in detail to your partner in the target language. Your partner must recreate the scene based on your description. Afterward, compare the recreated photo to the original to discuss similarities and differences.
🐝 Spelling Bee
Take turns spelling words aloud in the target language using spawned notes for prompts. For added practice, include definitions and sentences to solidify your understanding. It's a fun and engaging way to practice spelling, vocabulary, and sentence construction.
📓 Note-Spawning Challenge
Set a timer (using an external device) and see who can spawn as many notes as possible with vocabulary relevant to the environment. Then, paste the notes into the scene where the words are used. This activity is excellent for reinforcing vocabulary in context.
🔍 Mystery Match
In rotation as a public Community scene, and always available to join privately with a shareable code, Mystery Match is an entire room of its own. Similar to Guess Who™, opponents will each be assigned an avatar on the board. They then need to ask questions and guess their opponent's character based on visual traits, clothing, accessories, or activities being done using the target language. It's a fun way to practice adjectives, physical descriptions, and verbs!
