Bluster

Bluster is an educational game from the McGraw Hill Education Group.  When implemented correctly, games can be a great educational tool!  Bluster focuses on word study with games that match rhyming words, prefixes and suffixes, synonyms, homophones, adjectives, and word roots.

This games includes over 800 vocabulary words.  The goal is for the player to makes matches of three in whatever skill they choose.  Ten matches wins a round.  Different levels makes this game appropriate for several grade levels.  

Students can choose to play individually, work together as a team, or go head to head in versus mode.

Students look through the word list and drag three matching words to the word boxes.  In Single Player mode, the student completes the goals by themselves.

In Team mode, the two students work together to complete the goal of matching three words.  The two students have the same list of words, and they drag the correct word to the box. 

In Versus mode, two students race to match three words as fast as they can.  The students have the same list of words in this mode.

I recommend checking this game out to use with your students!
