Word Games

By Anonymous -
Whether it's solving a crossword puzzle or playing Hangman, I have always loved to play word games.  Jog the Web has a great collection of word games to play.  Here is an overview:

Spinners Luck
 Click on letters and try to solve the puzzle.

Wordplex
 Put the letters in order to form a word that fits the clue.

Guessword
Guess the word.  Green boxes means right letter in the right spot.  Circled letter means right letter in a different spot.  You have 5 chances to guess the word.




Wordworks
Un
 Unscramble the word as it moves across the screen.



Word Builder
 Click letters to make words.  The game ends if the tiles reach the top. 


Joy Words
Find words with 3, 4, 5 or even 6 letters.  Get as many words as possible before the time runs out.  Click shuffle to mix up the letters.  This was one of my favorites.

 Here are the solutions to the puzzle I tried to solve.


Chain Letters
 Click letters in a chain to make words.  Get as many words as you can before the timer runs out.


Word Craze
 Type as many words as you can that have the same number of letters as there are boxes and also have the target letter in the same place as the one above!


Hexed
 Click a letter and solve the question.  This one asks what D city in Texas is home of the NBA team, Mavericks?  I said Dallas.  Try to get as many tiles in a row as you can.


Wheel of Fortune
 
 
Plays just like Wheel of Fortune.  I love this game!

I think students will enjoy playing these word games as much as I did.  It is also a great vocabulary builder.  Please share these with your students!

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header.

I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
