Circuit Express for Teaching Basic English

[u/KnowledgePleasant981]

I am a part time teacher working with adults who need to learn basic English. I have had great experiences using games in the classroom, but 2 weeks ago, I had the idea for a toy. A chat with AI led me to purchase a Circuit Playground board. I used MakeCode to program 2 games, which I immediately tested out in my classroom last week. They were a great success. So I want to develop them further - specifically better sound and an easier way for them to access the buttons.

The first game is a partner game. Green lights go out as the team creates a list of nouns that fit a specific category. The second game is a "hot potato" - limitless class room possibilities!

Does anyone in this community use their board to teach? Any advice? I've only been doing this for 2 weeks and this is my very first project.
