Scratch Game

I have this idea that I want to build an interactive vocabulary game.  I was delighted to find the Hangman Game, which was a favorite of my youth.  I have some concern about using the concept of "hangman," because of potential concern on the violence of the phrase.  (That is not my personal opinion, but part of the bigger picture.)  It is unfortunately a challenge in todays educational setting. 

As my intention is to utilize vocabulary relevant to coal I believe I will explore the concept of an unloaded coal cart, where a wrong guess would remove a lump of coal from the cart and when the cart is empty you lose. 

The Hangman Game I found is located here.

  1. I like your idea of "hangman" without the hangman. I agree you should use a coal cart if possible. Great idea!
