The taster runs in the browser, with nothing to install. Members share a private class link that opens all seven locks. Sound adds to the atmosphere.
What's inside
- 7 self-grading locks, all in Latin
- Vocabulary from Cambridge Latin Course Book 1 (Stages 1–12)
- Grammar: present, imperfect and perfect of favet and invītat
- Macrons never needed
- Takes about one lesson
For teachers
Each of the seven locks practises something different:
- Crossword — the street, the town and the election, in Latin from Book 1.
- Anagrams — unscramble seven things done at election time.
- Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
- Matching — two verbs, favet ("supports") and invītat ("invites"), in the present, imperfect and perfect.
- Picture Count — reassemble the street, then count what you see.
- Odd One Out — find the word that doesn't belong in each row to build the story, then answer questions about it.
- Final Rebus — one clue from every lock. Their first letters spell the final word.
Most classes take about 50 minutes. Students can work alone, in pairs or in small teams on any device with a browser, or you can project the room and solve it together as a class. Every answer checks itself, so you are free to circulate, and progress is saved in the browser, so a room can be split across two lessons.
