What are the rules in the bubble game?

Each rule picks out a group of words: a grammar group such as feminine nouns or verbs, or a theme such as health or work. Pop only the bubbles that belong to it.

Can I play it on my phone?

Yes. It plays full screen on phones; a laptop or a recent phone gives the smoothest game.

Which level is the bubble game for?

The words come from everyday exam vocabulary, so it suits A2 learners and up. Beginners can still play and learn from the words they miss.

Is Bubbles free to play?

Yes. The first 6 levels are free with no sign-up, and levels 7 to 12 are free with an account, which also saves your stars on every device. Levels 13 to 30 come with Premium, together with every 3D game’s later levels and all the mock tests.

Les bulles

Bubbles float up with French words inside. Read the rule at the top (feminine nouns, words about health, verbs…) and pop every bubble that fits before it drifts away. A new rule arrives every 15 seconds.

How to play

1Read the rule at the top: “feminine nouns”, “words about health”, “verbs”…
2Tap the bubbles that fit before they float away. A new rule comes every 15 seconds.
3Leave the others alone: a wrong pop costs points and breaks your combo.

What it trains

Sorting words quickly by grammar and by meaning: noun gender, part of speech and theme. It makes you think about what a word is, not only what it means.

Why it matters for TCF and TEF Canada

Spotting at a glance that a word is a verb or a feminine noun tells you how a sentence is built. That reflex speeds up reading and helps you build correct sentences when you write.

Rules and tips to remember

Leave the doubtful ones
A wrong pop costs points and breaks your combo. If you hesitate, let the bubble go.
Use endings to spot gender
Nouns in -tion, -té and -ure are usually feminine; nouns in -ment, -age and -isme are usually masculine.
Watch for the rule change
The rule changes every 15 seconds. Glance at the top before each pop.
