A Lingadoo Resource
Compare games, teacher tools, worksheets, and ready-to-teach resources by class format, teaching goal, prep time, and skill focus. We review our own tool on the same terms as every other.
Start with the job you need to do, then compare the tools that fit.
One screen at the front. No student devices required.
Every student joins on their phone, tablet, or laptop.
Open and run. No content creation needed beforehand.
Activities that generate actual student output.
Built for language learning, not adapted from general quiz tools.
Platforms where you build activities from your own materials.
Printable and digital ELT practice materials, ready for class.
Use a practical classroom tool when a full game is not the right format.
Lingadoo is one of the reviewed platforms. Its current offer is a broader teacher toolkit, so we make that scope explicit.
Teacher-led activities for communicative practice, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and review.
Practical classroom utilities for running, directing, and varying an activity in the moment.
Ready-to-use materials that extend a lesson before or after an interactive activity.
Focused support for noticing language, explaining it clearly, and practising it in context.
An ELT teaching toolkit with ready-to-run games, teacher tools, grammar support, video activities, and printable or digital worksheets.
Best for: Teachers who need a ready-to-teach ELT activity, worksheet, game, or classroom tool without first building material from scratch. Particularly strong for teacher-led speaking, grammar, and vocabulary work.
High-energy quiz competition where students join on their own devices and compete in real time.
Best for: End-of-unit review when the class is flagging and a competitive leaderboard is what they need. Everyone has a phone or tablet.
Self-paced quiz platform where students work at their own speed, with live class and assigned homework modes.
Best for: Assigning practice outside class time, or running in-class review without a shared countdown. Students who work at different speeds are not penalised.
Flexible activity creator where teachers build custom games from their own content. Works on shared screens or student devices.
Best for: Teachers who already prepare their own materials and want to turn a vocabulary list or grammar set into multiple interactive formats without rebuilding the content each time.
Student-device quiz platform with multiple distinct game modes, each with a different mechanic and level of competition.
Best for: Classes where you run review games regularly and want to vary the format so it does not go stale. Same content set, different mode each session.
Collaborative team-based class activity built from Quizlet flashcard sets, where teams race to match terms and definitions.
Best for: Vocabulary review where you want students talking to each other. Teams have to communicate to find who holds the right answer, and a Quizlet set is already available.
Context-specific verdicts for a whole lesson, not just a game. No universal winner.
The criteria that actually matter in a language classroom.
Does it work on a single shared screen or do students need their own devices?
Is the content and activity format meaningful for language learners specifically?
How much work does the teacher need to do before running the activity?
Does the activity generate real spoken output, or is it tap-to-answer only?
How much can the teacher direct the pacing, focus, and flow of the activity?
Can the teacher build activities from their own materials and vocabulary?
Does the platform also help with worksheets, explanations, video work, or other teaching stages?
