We’re excited to share a fresh batch of interactive educational games that just went live on EdQueries! This week’s additions span two topic areas — Giving Directions and Spice Packaging — bringing a total of seven new learning activities to help students build real-world skills through play.
Finding Your Way: Giving Directions Games
Three new games have been added to the Giving Directions unit under the Directions topic, and they’re all about reading maps and navigating spaces.
Map and Directions: Game 1 and Map and Directions: Game 2 are quiz-style activities that challenge learners to study a town map and answer a series of questions about it. Both games reinforce directional language and spatial reasoning — essential skills for everyday communication. The two-game format allows students to practise across different question sets, building confidence step by step.
Map and Directions Games 1 and 2
Taking things up a notch, Campus Navigator: Game 1 puts learners inside a real campus setting. Students study a photo of campus directional signage — showing locations like the Office, Library, Bookstore, and Café & Classrooms — and answer questions about getting from one place to another. It’s immediately relevant and practical for students navigating a real learning environment.
Knowing Your Spices: Spice Packaging Games
We have been working on a whole new category of Vocational games. In that category, the latest course is the Spice Packaging course. It is under construction and will be rolled out to all users with existing subscriptions,soon.
Four new games have been added to the Spice Packaging unit under the Identification topic, covering everything from naming spices to recognising the tools of the trade.
Learn the Spices: Game 1 presents students with five image flashcards of common spices and asks them to type in the correct name. Starting with a vivid bowl of turmeric, it’s a clean, image-driven format that makes spice identification accessible and memorable.
Learn the Spices: Game 2 follows the same format but goes deeper, featuring seven spices including cardamom and star anise. The expanded set challenges students to recall a wider range of spices, reinforcing the vocabulary built in Game 1.
Drag-and-Drop – Match Picture to Word: Game 1 takes a hands-on approach with six sets of drag-and-drop exercises across multiple pages. Students match pictures of spices to their corresponding word labels — including Turmeric, Chilli, and Cumin — making it a perfect activity for consolidating identification skills in a more interactive way.
Finally, Match the Tools introduces the equipment used in spice packaging. Students watch a short introductory video clip, then drag pictures of tools from the left side of the screen and match them to the correct corresponding image on the right. Tools include items like foil trays, weighing scales, pouches, and wooden spoons — grounding the learning in a real vocational context.
Why These Games Matter
Whether students are learning to navigate a campus or identify spices for a packaging job, all seven of these games share a common goal: building practical, real-world skills through interactive, self-paced learning. This educational game format means instant feedback, multiple attempts, and a format that works across devices.
