10 Fun learning games to share in Google Classroom
1. Bingo
The first learning game is Bingo! Add your own images or words to the bingo widget from BookWidgets, and share the result with your students. Every student will get a different bingo sheet.
In this example the teacher calls out digital times and the students have to tick off the matching clock. When a student has ticked off 5 in a row, he has BINGO!
So, what else can you do with a bingo game in your classroom?
- Definition bingo: read out the definition of a word, and let the student find the word on the card.
- Picture vocabulary bingo: use cards with pictures of the (translated) words you’re calling out
- Minimal pairs bingo: use pairs of words that vary in a single sound (bat + but, desk + disk, fan + van, sing + thing,…)Rhyme Bingo: call out rhyme words of the words on the bingo card.
- Decimal Bingo: put decimals on the card, and either call out the numbers literally, or as fractions.
- Headshot bingo: put photos and/or names of all the students in the class on the card, and optionally complete the list with staff members, teachers, the principal,… Call out people by name, or give clues about the person you’re describing.
Take a look at this blog post for 20 more bingo examples!
2. Crossword
One of the most used learning games is the crossword puzzle. You’re probably using it the ordinary way: you give a definition and students have to find the right term. As you can see in the example, a crossword puzzle can be more than that as well!
Use crossword puzzles for:
- Science: Learning the elements of the periodic table isn’t easy. It definitely is much more fun when you put the symbols and their names in a crossword puzzle.
- Geography: Geography also has its fair share of names to remember: countries, cities, continents, mountain regions, rivers,… The fun solution: crossword puzzle!
- Languages: when you’re teaching a foreign language, translations have to made. Let your students translate the given word to the language you teach.

One more thing: the crossword puzzle has an automatic grading option. Let your students submit their completed crossword puzzle and take a look in Google Classroom!
3. Jigsaw Puzzle
Insert an image, choose how many pieces you want, and generate. That’s it! Creating a jigsaw puzzle in Google Classroom with BookWidgets is that simple!
A jigsaw puzzle is a lot of fun, but what’s the learning value in this game?
- Let your students solve geographical puzzles about a continent, a country, the world. This way, they know where everything belongs in the world.
- Let your students solve a puzzle about an image, showing a special environment or historical figure. In geography class or history class, they have to tell everything they know about the place or person on the image.
- Let students solve a jigsaw puzzle about an image. For example, an image of the bedroom. Students have to translate everything they see on the image to a foreign language. This way, they learn the vocabulary.
4. Memory
A memory game is used to train your students’ memory, and can be used to make associations. Two birds, one stone.
How are you going to use a memory game?
- When one student finds an identical pair, they tell the other student what it’s about. Students switch turns.
- When one student finds an identical pair, they tell the other student the translation. Students switch turns.
- Let students make associations. Match images with words, use synonyms and opposites, translations, arithmetics and their solution, statues with countries, etc.
Want to check how many times your students tried to complete this game? Just let them submit their work!
5. Randomness
This is probably a learning game you’ve not seen before. Add images, numbers, words or emoticons to wheels. Spin the wheels, and see what comes up.
Let your students come up with a story about some randomly given emoji’s. What a great speaking or writing exercise!
Other possibilities are:
- Let students build a correct sentence with words given by the randomness widget. For example: You - To speak - Future perfect.
- Do experiments around probabilities. Roll the dice or flip coins.
- Get to know each other. Add headshot pictures of your students in one wheel, and a topicsuch as “hobbies” about which they have to talk about in the other wheel.
- Add numbers to the wheels. Spin the wheel and let students multiply, divide, subtract or add the numbers.
6. Pair matching
This game looks a lot like “Memory”. The only difference is that students have to match pairs, without remembering their location.
Take a look at this example:
Here are some other associations you can make:
- Words and their translation
- Images and their translation
- Arithmetic and a solution
- Images of people and their names
- Images of monuments and their names/places
- Words and their definitions
- Etc.
Here, just like with the memory game, you can also see how many times students tried to match pairs. This way you know if students didn’t just guess the pairs.
7. Spot the difference
In education, a lot of things are compared to each other. It’s important for students to know the differences. This learning game is exactly what you need.

Take a look at this example. Do you know the differences between them?
Here’s some extra inspiration: You could put together two images about ancient building styles and ask students to explain the differences. And what about the differences between plants, animals, vegetations, regions, ancient cultures, empires, warriors, gods, … You name it!
8. Hangman
You all know the fun game hangman. It’s often used as an energizer or as lesson filler. But it can have an educational value as well.
