A new online educational game has been developed by experts at the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL) to help you practise your reading skills when learning English. Monkey Puzzles from Cambridge ESOL introduces a fun learning environment that is packed with animation and sounds from a host of animal characters including lions, giraffes and elephants.

Motivational

Players visit the Cambridge English Young learners Monkey’s favourite places where they are faced with eight mini games to test their reading skills in English. Monkey Puzzles is ideal for preparing for the Cambridge English Young Learners exams and is targeted at levels A1-A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Cambridge ESOL’s Digital Marketing Manager Lorna Pedersen explains: “Learning English should be an enjoyable experience for children and this is what we've aimed for with Monkey Puzzles. We’ve packed in lots of mini games to ensure players have a fun and educational gaming experience that motivates them to want to learn more.”

Monkey Puzzles is the latest in a series of online learning initiatives from Cambridge ESOL.

Cambridge ESOL worked with award-winning social media gaming specialist Koko Games to design and develop Monkey Puzzles which is freely available for schools, teachers, exam centres and even bloggers to copy and embed within their own sites to encourage users to practice their English.
