eXtraDICTION.......is a completely new board game, based on word and phrase knowledge, that is fun to play, challenging, and can be played in a wide variety of ways.
eXtraDICTION is likely to take both the recreational and educational markets by storm when it is released.
eXtraDICTION has been introduced to Kingswood School and has given the opportunity for the middle school students to play the game regularly on a Tuesday lunchtime as part of their activity programme.
The game of eXtraDICTION was invented by Mr. Hock Soh, a Malaysian businessman, who was looking for a way to provide a fun way for his daughter to learn the many subtle nuances of English. Since the launch of the game in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, it has proved incredibly popular and has been transformed for use as competitions in newspapers.
"eXtraDICTION is a brilliant game"
Kingswood has been the launch pad for eXtraDICTION in the UK. Each week our students have investigated the many ways in which eXtraDICTION can be played. About 20 students have been working towards their first competition - against the teachers of the English department. That sounds very one-sided, but the game allows for the students to answer questions from the Intermediate game, while the teachers answer questions, in the same game, from the Advanced level cards.
One of the useful things about this game is that small groups, individuals, and people of different ability levels and ages can play together. And all of them can enjoy learning - increasing their knowledge of phrases and their meaning, of words, and the art of correct spelling. Educational and good fun, the lunchtime club has and proved both interesting and worthwhile, Kathy Campbell was presented with the first book token as prize for top aggregate score in the first session, and we are looking forward to the competition against the Staff and moving on to challenge other schools - once we have introduced them to eXtraDICTION.
