Welcome
Other Wordly is a research based, socially interactive card game for 2 players or two teams. Language experts designed the game to teach 422 commonly tested SAT/ACT* words. Players compete to name antonyms and synonyms for conceptual vocabulary words. They can win points by using a thesaurus to challenge another person’s word choice. Players lose points if they run out of words and get stuck with the Brain Freeze card. Improve your vocabulary usage and reading comprehension while playing Other-Wordly.

A comparison of children in two language training programs found the following: Children in one study who had unstructured play with their peers while using educational games made twice the progress of children in a similar study who did not have unstructured play. - Gillam et al reporting on the Comparison of Language Intervention Programs 2006.
“I have played the Other-Wordly game with my husband and my 11-year old granddaughter. It is a challenging and exciting learning experience. As a long time educator, I feel this is a wonderful tool to develop vocabulary recognition and usage. I liked the ‘hands-on’ approach and the child’s active participation.” — Gretchen Ahlquist - Montessori Teacher and Teacher Trainer
