Home › Games › Balloon Words — Guess the Word
Look at the picture and guess the word letter by letter before all the balloons pop. 4 languages.
Guessing a word letter by letter makes children think about which letters a word contains and in what order — spelling practice that feels like a game. The picture keeps it fair for young readers.
Balloon Words is the classic hangman game made gentle for children: instead of a gallows, six balloons float above the word, and each wrong letter pops one. A picture shows which word to find, so even young readers know what they are spelling — the challenge is to remember which letters the word contains. Each game has five words chosen from 66 everyday words, in the language of the page. Guessing E also uncovers É, and guessing ا also uncovers أ, so accents never stop a child.
Best for ages 6–11
The classic drawing is not great for young children; balloons keep the same suspense in a friendly way.
Six per word — one balloon each.
English, French, Spanish and Arabic: the words follow the page language.
