About

This is a game for learning ESL food vocabuarly. The aim is to practice English food words and food quantifiers.

There are a total of 160 food vocab items divided into 10 groups. Each items is represented visually with an image and has an audio clip for listening practice.

The game is divided into 2 parts. In the first part, you are presented with a store scenario. Customers enter the store and request specific foods. You then have to click and drag the correct food to the customer. When you do this, you accumulate money which counts towards the final score. The idea is to serve as many customers as possible so as to earn as much money as possible. The 2nd part is a simple look and click task.
