Creating ELT Games with Claude

Have you used Claude AI to create games for your class?

• Go to Artifacts.
• Choose new artifact.
• Choose “games”
• and then wait until the game is ready.

Here is my prompt:

I need an Exit Test Game – Empower A1, Unit 3B & 3C
Duration: 15–20 minutes | Platform: Browser-based

Context
Design an interactive exit test game for an online English class. The students are adults aged 25–35, studying at CEFR A1 level in an evening online class via Zoom.

Units Covered

Unit 3B: I Usually Have Dinner Early
Unit 3C: Ordering food and drinks in a café

Learning Objectives Tested

Food and meal vocabulary (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, cereal, toast, pastry, fruit, eggs, coffee, tea, rice, meat, bread, cheese)
Adverbs of frequency: always, usually, often, sometimes, never
Telling the time (o’clock, half past, quarter past
Eating habits and reading comprehension
Polite requests in a café context

By editing the flaws, I got the game that my students would be able to play:

Here is another option with the same prompt. This time I wanted it to be

And then I wanted something more interactive, more competitive so Claude suggested:

🎮 Exit Test Game – Empower A1, Units 3B & 3C

Format: 2 teams compete to earn points by answering questions across 5 categories on a game board. A “host” (teacher) controls the board and reads questions aloud. First team to buzz in (or take turns) answers.

5 Categories:

1. 🍳 Food & Meals – Vocabulary matching and identification
2. 🕐 What Time Is It? – Read clock images, write/say the time
3. 📅 How Often? – Fill in adverbs of frequency
4. ☕ At the Café – Polite ordering phrases (drag/select)
5. 📖 Reading Corner – Short text comprehension about eating habits

Point Values: 100 / 200 / 300 per question (harder = more points)

Special Features:

• ⚡ Bonus “Steal” rounds if the first team answers wrong
• 🎉 Confetti celebration for the winning team
• Score tracker visible throughout
• Timer per question (15–20 seconds)
• Teacher controls which team answers

Design: Colorful, café-themed visual board — clean and engaging for online display.

And asked

Does this match your vision? Any tweaks before I build it — e.g. adding/removing a category, changing point values, or adjusting the timer? Otherwise, say let’s go and I’ll create it!

And this one is another game to be played in class: tailored to your needs, in just seconds.
