Funny Characters

The Funny Characters game is an educational resource for Grade 4, 5 and 6 students. It consists of a series of small puzzles. Directly taken from the book with the same name, the application allows students to stimulate their sense of observation, their understanding and their reading of English as a second language. FEATURES Easy to use, Funny Characters is created especially for children. The game is divided into several exercises, each containing a series of images, a description of characters with an audio version, and many boxes to fill out. At the bottom left, the exercise number is indicated to keep track of where you are in the app. In the summary, a general view of all 24 exercises is visible for easier navigating.
