Roxxem turns the songs, TV shows, viral videos, and podcasts your students already love into interactive, ready-to-teach language lessons. Spanish, French, German, English, and Chinese, all aligned to your curriculum standards.
Every song comes with four games, plus Pro tools for lessons, tests, and slides.
1. Classroom Activities (Free)
The Basic plan is free forever for teachers and students. It gives you the full content library and every game.
What’s included:
The full content library
Music, TV and film, viral videos, podcasts, and news clips, with synced transcripts and translations.
Live classroom games
Host a game from your screen. Students join at roxxem.com/live with a code or QR code, then compete in real time.
Classes for your students
Create a class and invite students with a link or class code. No student email needed.
The Games
Pick any song and choose the game that fits your lesson.
Whac-A-Word
Students find the missing words in the lyrics as the video plays. It builds vocabulary and listening at the same time, and it is a class favorite for live play.
Vocab Harvest
Students match vocabulary words from the song with their meanings. A quick way to preview or review key words.
Sentence Snake
Students listen to a line, then trace the lyric hidden in the grid by connecting the words in order before their moves run out.
Quiz Ninja
Students answer comprehension questions to climb a tower, one level at a time. Play along with the video or jump straight to the questions.
Teacher tip: Whac-A-Word, Sentence Snake, and Quiz Ninja can all be played live with the whole class or solo. Try a live round as a warm-up and send students off to play solo for homework.
2. Lessons, Homework, and Progress (Roxxem Pro)

Result: Students get more say in how they learn, and you always know who is on track.
3. Roxxem Tournaments (Competition-Driven Learning)
Friendly competition gives students a reason to replay songs again and again. You will find it all on the Contests page, with global and class leaderboards.
This Week’s Contest
One song, all four games, until Sunday. A student’s best score in each game adds up to their total.
Special Tournaments
Bracket-style tournaments with head-to-head matchups, like FrancoManie for French classes and Locotubre for Spanish classes. Students, classes, and schools compete around the world for prizes.
Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Challenges
Leaderboards that refresh throughout the day, with prizes for top players.
