Hello Robert,

Have a look at Yabla Clic
http://clic.yabla.com

Try any video in the "FREE DEMO" section and click the GAME button at 
the bottom of the Yabla Player.

This is a randomly generated "cloze" listening challenge, thus you can 
play any number of times, with a different game every time.

If each user has their own user name, then results can be tracked and 
scores tallied per user.
