I found some great resources for bi-lingual education games:
• Teachers.net http://teachers.net
• Asia Society exhibition: Asian Games: The Art of Contest http://www.asiasociety.org/arts/asiangames/
This is an excellent resource– the Asia Society had an exhibition recently on the history of games in Asia which is an interesting contextual interdisciplinary resource- social studies, math, art, language
• Larry Fallazzo’s Websites of the Day for Teaching ELL, EFL and ESL
http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/
• Adapting Online Computer Games for the classroom http://evogaming.wikispaces.com/AdaptingOnlineComputerGamesfortheClassroom
There are tons of analog games that teachers have documented their success using, including:
I Spy http://teachers.net/lessons/posts/1573.html
Simon Says http://teachers.net/lessons/posts/1574.html
Truth or Dare http://www.theboxgirls.com/site/shoponline?product=truthbox
(ok- this is a product- but the idea of games based on conversation starters- ice breakers seemed to really work well).
The Block Game http://teachers.net/lessons/posts/1575.html
$10,000 Pyramid http://www.ehow.com/how_2074849_play-10000-pyramid.html
And of course there are a plethora of online games. Many of the games that I found online had either the same goal, the same core mechanics, and/or the same look. So I took a bunch of my research and chose a few examples of good games or resources:
Flashcards with friend’s in Beijing http://askasia.org/kids/features/wordofweek/wofw_School_friend.htm
Free Rice(also a flashcard game- but with a social bend- comes in many languages) http://www.freerice.com/index.php?&t=282369104058&s=Spanish
