In this useful computer vocabulary game, students play dominoes by completing sentences with computer-related words.

Players then take it in turns to complete the computer-related sentences with words by putting their dominoes down at either end of the domino chain. If a player cannot put down one of their dominoes, they take one from the top of the pile and put it down if they can. If there are no dominoes left in the pile, play passes to the next student. The first player to get rid of all their dominoes wins the game.

If they are unsuccessful, they move their counter back two squares. The first player to reach the finish wins the game.

In this creative computer vocabulary game, students describe and guess computer nouns without using associated words their opponents have prohibited. First, in two teams, students look at each card and discuss how they would describe the computer noun shown on the card. Students then think of and write down three keywords associated with the computer noun on each card. The two teams then swap cards. Next, a student from Team A picks up a card and has 30 seconds to describe the computer noun to the other students in their team, without saying the noun or using the keywords on the card. The student is also not allowed to use variations of the words on the card, e.g. browsing instead of browser. If the team guesses the computer noun before the time is up, they win and keep the card. If not, the card is removed from the game. Play then passes to the other team, and so on. The team with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
