lulalu Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 We have Rummy Roots and love it. We are a game loving family. Are there any more games that are good when learning Latin and Greek? We are starting to learn the Greek Alphabet next year and will continue with Latin. Any games to help learn the Greek Alphabet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeineandbooks Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Classical Academic Press has some online games and a card game called "Clash" available here. I haven't personally used them - we're not far enough along yet! - but I understand this is the content they used to have freely available on the now-defunct "Headventureland" site. Another one my kids like for any kind of short answer content is "Kaboom". Get a bunch of craft sticks and write a vocab word at one end of each. On several sticks, write "Kaboom!" instead. Put them all in a cup and take turns drawing one out. If you can translate the word, you keep the stick, but if you draw a Kaboom! stick you have to put all your cards back. First to 5 or 10 wins. We use this for times tables and sight words as well 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboo Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I'm teaching my son Latin right now. We play Uno, and he needs to do a vocabulary word every time he plays a card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraClark Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I'll be following this thread-games would be fun reinforcement. Do you use a song for teaching the Greek alphabet? That worked well for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Ellen McHenry has a few to download for free for Latin. DS's Greek book had a lot of various matching games for the alphabet: name to letter to sound. You can probably make your own cards and do the same thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
