Welcome back to EdTech school.
Using games and puzzles in your class is always a hit with the students.
Whether you use them as an introduction for a new chapter,
as a practice break in the middle of a section, or to end a class,
puzzles are a useful and fun way to add some interactivity to your class.
This week's video is about the Word Search Puzzle.
You can make word search puzzles for all kind of lessons.
If you'd like me to make more videos about creative lesson ideas, let me know by giving
the video a thumbs up.
The examples I'll be showing were all made with BookWidgets, but you can, of course,
use any other tool you like.
First up: Word Search Puzzles for language lessons
Languages are all about words, so it's pretty obvious
that a word search puzzle is a perfect fit here.
Let's start with an easy one for teaching foreign vocabulary.
I've put English words in a column as clues, and let the student find the Spanish translation
Just like you see here.
There are different ways to change the difficulty
of this puzzle.
Instead of just having horizontal and vertical words,
also place words diagonally or even in reverse direction.
You can also leave out the clues or make the grid bigger.
This English word search puzzle contains words in all directions,
and doesn't have any clues (except that you have to look for objects
from the kitchen).
You can easily make a word search puzzle for science lessons too.
Most science subjects come with a lot of terminology to learn.
Let's take Biology, for example: not only do you have a long list of
plants, animals, and other organisms to learn, but each of these consists of lots of other
parts with hard-to-remember names.
For every level of terminology, we can make nice word search puzzles.
How about geography?
Names of continents, countries, cities, rivers, mountains, …
All great candidates to put in a word list, and get your students active during class.
Use your creativity to make Word Search Puzzles for Kids.
There's nothing the youngest like doing more
than learn by playing.
Word search puzzles can be a great way to teach young kids to read.
In this case though, I recommend only placing words horizontally.
An easy way to start off is by letting them search for simple words
from a list
They can match the letters from the description list
with the letters from the center to get to know the letters and words.
You can make things a little bit harder by removing the words from the list,
and replace them by emoji, giving them the chance to learn the letters
by heart.
Word search puzzles can also help with their first steps in math:
learning the numbers and how to write them.
My last example shows you how to break the ice with Word Search Puzzles.
If you've watched EdTech school before, you know that I'm a fan of
using games as ice breakers in the classroom.
Word search puzzles can be used as a fun way to get to know each other's names
at the start of the school year.
You can use descriptions of the student as clues,
and let them find first names in the word search;
or, you can list the first names in a list, and leave the last names to be searched in
the word search.
That's all I have for you this week.
If you want to make these puzzles yourself, check the link in the video description!
Hope to see you back next week, for more EdTech tips.
