Pong game to learn Russian : Body - the head
This is our version of the classic early computer game "Breakout" ( itself a development of the even earlier "Pong" game - we prefer that name ) where a player controls a bar that knocks a ball or puck around the screen.
In our version of Pong/Breakout, there are 3 types of bricks for you to break: green bricks are worth 2 points; yellow bricks are worth 50 points; white bricks which are worth 10 points and result in a Russian language question for the topic you have chosen.
With our Pong game for "Parts of the head" you will be learning the Russian vocabulary for the topic Parts of the head. The language you will learn is in the vocabulary list below, and consists of 10 Words for naming parts of your head.
| 1 | лицо | face | |
| 2 | глаз | eye | |
| 3 | ухо | ear | |
| 4 | нос | nose | |
| 5 | рот | mouth | |
| 6 | волосы | hair | |
| 7 | лоб | forehead | |
| 8 | подбородок | chin | |
| 9 | язык | tongue | |
| 10 | зубы | teeth | |
You start with 5 lives. If the ball goes below the paddle, a life is lost and you lose 200 points.
The game ends if you you answer all 10 questions or lose all your lives.
Notes
