About this Game
Dragon Egg Hatchers is an ESL game that you can use to practice reading phonics, sight words and English vocabulary words. Students can read a target word and then crack the dragon egg to hatch it. Ten vocabulary words are displayed at once and you can use up to 100 words in a single game. Doing so will reveal a certain amount of points. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!
How to Play Dragon Egg Hatchers
-
Start by copying the game files out of the downloaded zip and into a new folder.
-
Before you play, input the vocabulary words by editing the included text file. Save the file when you are finished.
-
Open the game and choose how many teams will play. You can have two to four teams play.
-
Play the game by having a student from a team choose an egg to open. First they must read the word under the egg. You can also ask them to make a sentence with that word as well if you so desire.
-
Alternatively, you can have a representative of each team come to the front of the class. You point to a word and the first student to read it correctly can crack open the egg.
-
The egg will hatch and a dragon will emerge. It will be carrying a certain amount of points. Add that point value to the current team's points.
-
When you finish all of the words on the current screen, you can press the next arrow button to cycle to the next word list.
-
Do this until a team reaches a certain amount of points, time is up, or you have read all of the words that you prepared. The team with the most points at this time wins!

2-4 Teams of Students: Select how many teams will play in the current game.

Win condition: You can select the win condition for the game. This can be whether the game ends if a team earns a certain amount of points OR you can choose to end the game whenever you want by pressing the 'finish' button.
-
No dragon mode on/off: By default every egg will contain a dragon. If the no dragon mode is enabled, then there's a chance that some eggs will be a dud. In this case, no points are awarded. You can turn this option on in the game menu when you start the game.
Built with Interactive Whiteboards in Mind: This game is fully playable with interactive whiteboards and responds great to touch on the board. You can also play it in a classroom with just a projector or in an online classroom setting.
Randomized Dragons: The adorable dragons are completely randomized when the egg is cracked open. No two games will ever be the same.
Freely adjust any team's points: At any point during the game you can adjust a team's point value by adding or subtracting points. Do this at your discretion. Add points when they earn them by cracking on a dragon egg. You can use the subtract point option as a deterrent for naughty behavior.
