Make a set
Words practice is a list of Georgian words or expressions with their meanings — paste a list, upload a .docx, or import the bold words from your Google Doc. Questions is a test you write yourself: multiple choice or fill in the blank.
-
Tag the student
Add your students once, then tick who each set is for. Your set list can be filtered by student, so every student gets exactly what they studied.
-
Share a link
Open the set and copy its link, or set an assignment: the student types their name, plays, and you see the score. Print a worksheet for paper practice.
-
See the results
Every finished game is recorded against the set; Results shows who played what and how it went.
What each game does
Every game is built from the same set, so switching costs nothing. A game that needs something your set does not have is shown locked, with the reason.

Importing from a Google Doc
Paste the document's link. We take every bold word or expression that has its translation on the same line, and nothing with numbers. Headings, dates, example sentences and grammar highlights stay out.
These lines are imported
- ლაპარაკი to speak
- წყალი — water
- traveling/მგზავრობა მანქანით?
- Sugar- შაქარი
- apple - ვაშლი
These are not
- 12/01 გაკვეთილი #7 — a number
- ისინი ცხოვრობენ პატარა სოფელში — no translation on the line
- ვისვენებ — a bold letter inside a word
- Verb formation — no Georgian
A long document is read where the newest lessons are: from the end, or from the top when the lesson numbers run downwards. Choose 10 or 20 pages, or the whole document. The preview says exactly what was read.
A document shared as “Anyone with the link” works at once. For a private document, connect Google Drive once — read-only — and it stays connected.
Writing questions
A Questions set holds multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank sentences. Put ___ where the word is missing, then the correct answer first and the wrong ones after it. You can also paste them as lines:
მე ___ წყალი = მინდა | უნდა | გვინდა
The Quiz plays multiple-choice questions; Complete the sentence plays the fill-in-the-blank ones.
