language classroom games (concentration, jeopardy, etc.)

[David J Birnbaum]

Dear SEELANGers,

The recommendations I received on this list for language-learning 
software flashcard applications were so helpful that I thought I'd try 
again: Can anyone recommend versions of games like Concentration and 
Jeopardy that can be used for language learning purposes? They need to 
be free (no-cost, but not necessarily open-source) and to run on a PC, 
and of course they would have to be designed so that I could create my 
own entries. They don't have be web-based; a stand-alone program that I 
can project from a laptop during a class session would be just as useful.

Concerning Concentration, a traditional version (where the player has to 
match identical squares) would be fine, but even better would be one 
where I could direct the system to match non-identical squares, such as 
a picture and the Russian word corresponding to it, etc.

Other games suitable for language-learning purposes would also be welcome!

Please respond by private email to djbpitt+seelangs at pitt.edu . As with 
the flashcard drills, I'll be happy to post a summary of responses.

With anticipatory thanks,

David
