Language Learning Games for Children

If you’re skeptical about playing children’s games, know that you’re in good company.

But keep in mind, you’rebound to learn something from these options because games for early childhood education, and even a bit beyond, are always designed to teach language fundamentals on some level.

They don’t have to be targeting vocabulary and grammar specifically—given the age group they’re appealing to (think ages 3-10)— but all game developers will make sure the game play is friendly to young players who are still absorbing the basics of their native language.

This doesn’t mean that adults shouldn’t also play these games—especially beginners!

1. “Curious George: George’s Busy Day”

Remember, just because this is designed for kids doesn’t mean adults can’t use it, especially in the beginner stages of learning.

YouTube and Other Video Language Learning Resources

Watching videos of people playing games, or any videos really, is closely related to playing games because it’s both fun and relaxing, which puts you in an ideal state for language learning.

Check out these options if you’re not in the mood to play, but you’re still willing to sit back and watch a video.

YouTube gaming channels

You might see the phrase “Let’s Play!” around the Net when searching for good video game videos. “Let’s Play!” videos are any YouTube videos that show video game walk-throughs. The idea is that viewers will learn howto play in general, or they will learn the specifics of advancing through levels and completing games. These videos include game-play clips, and they provide audio commentaries that explain every step.

Here are some great channels in some of the most popular languages:

French

  • CyprienGaming— This channel belongs to one of the most famous French YouTubers, and will provide you with a weird, humorous grab-bag of gaming-related videos in French.
  • CodJordan23 — Despite the username, which suggests undying devotion to COD (Call of Duty), this YouTuber is mostly into showcasing NBA games.

German

  • Yankeeunit91 — This YouTuber has aninfectious laugh, which ranges from belly laughing to a high-pitched cackle, so his videos are bound to make for some hilarious German lessons. Check out his coverage of “Need for Speed”, “Call of Duty” and “Grand Theft Auto V” (online and offline).
  • Rocket Beans TV— You never really know what to expect on this channel, as the YouTuber in charge is into an assortment of game titles. However, his videos make for fabulously diverse German lessons because he’s constantly bringing his friends on for lengthy game-related chats.
  • PietSmiet — Here you’ll find videos of “Minecraft” gameplay and highlights from some oldies-but-goodies. The “Mario Kart” videos are crazy fun, as you might expect.

Spanish

  • elrubiusOMG — Want to learn Castilian Spanish? This is the gaming host for you. The “Games in 1 Minute” segments are great to watch for those new to the gaming scene. You’ll also get to watch him run around trolling (frustrating and mocking) other gamers, which is always worth a laugh.
  • JuegaGerman This Mexican YouTuber loves online and flash games, “The Sims 4,” “Minecraft” and “The Walking Dead.”
  • Fernanfloo — Get a taste of the distinctive Argentinian accent on this channel!

Chinese

Understandably, most of our Chinese gamer friends aren’t on YouTube. There are, however, a few popular Taiwanese gamers that you can watch online.

  • MrChesterccj — This one covers “Grand Theft Auto 5,” “Minecraft,” “Halo 5” and other Xbox One games. You’ll even be able to watch “Little Big Planet 3,” which is adorable, and various RPGs.
  • RSPannie72127—This YouTuber is very animated, and gives great reaction sounds that you could use in your own Chinese. She mostly does “Minecraft” and various RPGs, but she also does some fun “real life” gaming stuff, including board games.

Japanese

If you’re learning Japanese, using video games (and videos about them) to learn will be a breeze. Not only do Japanese natives love games, they love sharing them and talking about them. Not to mention, Japan has tons of unique, otherwise unheard of games that only exist within the country, so you’re always in for new surprises.

  • Pazudoraya—Here you’ll find features onmobile and tablet games, puzzle games and generally games you’ve never heard of. However, this guy talks a lotso his channel willgive youexcellent listening practice and great inspiration for future mobile app downloads.
  • Tomo0723sw— Do you find loud, maniacal laughter to be contagious? Then this channel will have you in stitches! The host mostly covers mobile and app games, old “retro” games, flash games and online multiplayer modes. You’ll also get to see him play through “Alan Wake,” “Call of Duty, “Grand Theft Auto 5,” “Lego Star Wars” and Japanese games with strong elements of actual Japanese culture and society. I’d recommend you try watching videos about games like“Boku no Natsuyasumi” (My Summer Adventure), which will give you magical summer vacation nostalgia even if you didn’t grow up in Japan.

FluentU

Languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian and Portuguese.

With quizzes and interactive videos galore, FluentU is a great app to use for entertainment as well as language learning. This makes this program an ideal and entertaining choice for language learners.

Why Learning by Playing Is Super Effective

  • Positive associations.Let’s play a little word association game.When I say “language learning,” what pops into your brain? If your answer is textbooks, flashcards, vocabulary lists, quizzes, exams or all-nighters, then, for the love of God, shake things up. Video games are for you. If your study methods feel stale (or if you simply can’t motivate yourself to get started), then you need to create more positive associations with language learning in your brain.
  • In-context learning.You’ll learn vocabulary and grammar while you’re embroiled in the action. You’ll be immersed in your virtual world, interacting with virtual people, traveling to virtual places and earning virtual money. Listening, reading and understanding the language of the virtual world (read: your target language, after you get around to switching your game’s language settings) will be rewarded with points, digital bucks or progress in your game’s story line. This is how immersion works when you’re studying abroad: You learn by doing, you get immediate feedback andyou need to keep guessing, trying and thinking creatively if you don’t quite understand something.
  • Repetition.Even in games with complex stories or ones that give you tons of freedom to choose your fate, you’ll still hear the same words over and over as you play. That’s because every game has some core themes, key characters, big events and repeated actions that will keep popping up as you go. This will help to strongly solidify a good chunk of vocabulary. The more familiar with the game you are, the more familiar you’ll become with the language used.
  • You’ll never put off study time. When study time is game time, will you really dread it or procrastinate as much?
  • Learn or die! If you don’t follow what’s happening, you’ll die. Plain and simple. Do you really want to lose another life?
  • You can make real-world friends.Many games offer you the ability to connect with people online while you’re playing. Others will just give you a common interest to talk about with friends or Internet strangers on forums and websites.
  • Games are easily accessible.Even if you don’t have an Xbox at home, many games are easily accessible through Steam and app stores.
  • Let the kids have some fun! Kids adore games, obviously, so this is a great way to go if you’re raising bilingual kids or if you’re learning together with your whole family.

So, that’s it!

It sure was a long list, but the hope is that now every language learning gamer has been able to identify a video game that works in their target language.

Now’s the time to get out there, connect with fellow gamers and get into your own virtual language learning experience.

Good luck, and game on!
