WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY

LANGUAGE TEACHERS

“I discovered KLOO (French) last year but really started to thoroughly use the game this Autumn Term with 2 of my classes and the word has spread: pupils (of all abilities) want to play that game. I have been using it across the ability range and EVERYONE enjoyed it. My bottom set was able to build sentences following a strict colour code order while my top set reinvented the word order and went the creative way (much laughter was heard, disturbing my head of department who congratulated me on making French so much fun). No more headache and a lot of fun!”
Anouk B, French Teacher, Worth School, W Sussex

“I like to end my lessons with something fun and a bit different than the rest of the lesson. I’ll often say to my students, “What would you like to do? Reading, a song, noughts and crosses, hangman, Kloo?” and 9 times out of 10, the answer is KLOO!! Not only do students love it but it is also really useful and the progress they make when working from one deck to the next is brilliant.
Lindsay D, MFL Teacher, Northants

“My students get lost in this game. As they fly around the board they don’t even notice they are learning”
Sarah O, MFL Teacher, Liverpool

“I am a teacher of MFL and was curious about how useful it would actually be for the students in the new department I would be starting up so I tested it on my partner and relatives. Despite them having no knowledge of Spanish at all, they were able to pick up new words and create sentences accurately. I bought an entire class set for my students and often we play. I definitely recommend this product for in class and at home use – a fun way of developing vocabulary and language skills.
Isaac G, Spanish, Ormesby School, Middlesborough

“At first I thought KLOO was just another game. Then I realised this was different. It’s fun, it’s intuitive and, more importantly, it works. It’s a wonderful way to learn a language.”
Professor Jack Lonergan Director, Language Training, London

“I bought a couple of sets of KLOO at the Language Show and the language assistant plays it with the students, all ages and abilities. They absolutely love it!”
Dulce F, Spanish Teacher, Leventhorpe School, Herts

“I discovered Kloo (French) last year but really started to thoroughly use the game this Autumn Term with 2 of my classes and the word has spread: pupils (of all abilities) want to play that game. The new sets of card makes it even easier to form the sentences as the colored arrows on the side tell you what comes next. And for the most able, who have worked out that these arrows are guidelines but not set in stone, we made up a new rule: if you can place a card somewhere else and it makes sense, then you get a bonus point (you could easily give them 1 minute to look up one unknown word in a dictionary, developing more skills). No more headache and a lot of fun! Brenot MFL Teacher

“My students quickly became engrossed in the game and were correcting each others sentences in a way that would make an Ofsted inspector proud!”
Kate Norman, Director of Language College, Peterborough

“When you have played the first set, you’ll know why I had to buy the next set. I’ve bought both double-deck sets in French and Spanish and have had hours of fruitful, fun learning with them with family and friends. The variety of games that can be played, and which are detailed in a free-to-download booklet, is quite stunning, making these packs worth every penny for their sheer versatility. What’s more, what I’ve learnt has been of use when I’ve been abroad since using them. Well done”
John Mingay, Language Teacher,Dunfermline

“My daughter came home from school yesterday and said they spent all of double French lesson playing KLOO – and the whole class loved it.”
Anne Green, Parent, Highgate School

“You want to play it, learn and win. I recommend KLOO to everyone.”
Bill Jennings, Teacher

“I teach French, within a school setting, to children aged 7-10 and was so excited to discover this product. Complex sentences can be formed with the game player having very little knowledge of French. The children enjoy racing each other to Paris with the little racing cars. I also play the game at home with my children aged 7 and 11 and my husband. It is great to be able to indulge in a shared family passion while playing a fun game. I could not recommend it highly enough.”
French Teacher, Amazon Review

“I love this game – all my French students have benefited so much from using it.”
Helen Burlefinger, MFL Teacher

“I am a highly qualified language teacher and native Spanish speaker and teach Spanish. I have carefully assessed the contents of the Race to Madrid game (board and cards) and am absolutely thrilled at how it will help my students improve their Spanish while having fun. I also have the version to help non-English speakers learn English (which I also teach) and it is a very valuable resource for my young students from Pakistan.
These games are creative, clever, imaginative and motivating. I am grateful to and congratulate whoever created these fabulous teaching resources. I am so glad I went to the language show 2012 in Olympia and discovered such an amusement for my dear students.”
Maria Londono, Spanish Teacher

“We bought a game for our school. Girls love it! and they learn”
Sandrine Pac-Kenny, MFL Teacher

“Our academy based its teaching on the communicative approach and for this, the KLOO game is an amazing tool. Students build sentences easily and gain in confidence rapidly. Highly recommended!” Nathalie, Amazon Review

“I speak French, German and Spanish fluently and teach those languages to A Level. I use Kloo for Spanish, but have a youngster coming along in French, who will soon need the French version – not just yet though, as she’s a little young.”
Victoria Smith, Teacher

“I have played classic Kloo with my French conversation group. We had great fun competing to make longer sentences. We all have a good standard of French, so we were very strict about the sentences making sense. The game is very versatile and we soon found that the rules can be adapted to suit the ability of the players. There are lots of games on the Kloo website and we are keen to try more of them. The rules can be downloaded to print and there are videos showing how to play some of them – I found this useful for getting started.

We haven’t yet used the board for scoring – pen and paper worked fine, but having read other reviews, I can see the board will add an extra dimension. It occurs to me you could use it the other way round – use dice to move round the board and pick up Kloo cards when you land on the “?” squares, to make sentences…… (I said it’s versatile!) It’s great that the 4 packs of cards and the board now come in a colourful and compact box. I am looking forward to playing Kloo with my grandchildren next.

I must also mention the excellent customer service – I got a quick and extremely helpful response to my query.”
Teacher, Amazon Reviewer
