Let’s head to the Robot Factory! In this fun and interactive digital game, students will mix and match various robot body parts as they work their way through a series of multiple-choice questions focused on inclusive language. Each correct answer earns them a new robot part, helping them build a one-of-a-kind robot creation!

Throughout the game, students will learn to identify the definition, purpose, and examples of inclusive language. They’ll explore how inclusive word choices help create respectful, welcoming, and supportive environments. Questions may ask students to recognise inclusive versus exclusive phrases, or to choose the best response for a given context. This builds confidence in using language that values diversity and avoids stereotypes.

Let’s Build – Inclusive Language can be played as a whole-class activity on an interactive whiteboard, or students can scan the QR code to play independently. It’s perfect for health, literacy, or wellbeing units, and ideal for early finishers, rotations, or targeted discussions about respectful communication.

• ✅ Understand the definition and purpose of inclusive language
• ✅ Identify inclusive language in written and spoken examples

How to Play:

1. Students read each question and choose the correct answer from multiple-choice options.
2. Each correct answer unlocks a new robot part to add to their creation.
3. Once the robot is complete, students can watch it celebrate with a fun dance party!
4. Replay the game to build different robots and deepen their understanding of inclusive language.
