Multimedia Wordsearch

This is a genuinely prissy tool that I convey precisely discovered. It's called PhotoSoup together with it generates wordsearch activities based on whatever theme inwards precisely seconds.

This is a genuinely prissy tool that I convey precisely discovered Multimedia wordsearchIt's real unproblematic together with plant on images from flickr. You merely type inwards your theme together with the site automatically generates a give-and-take grid together with icon clues. You hence convey ninety seconds to detect all the words. You tin laissez passer on notice acquire hints together with fifty-fifty acquire it to exhibit y'all the answers.

Watch a brusk video to run into how it's done. (499k swf)

How to run it amongst students
  • This is corking for vocabulary revision, peculiarly amongst higher levels. Students could fifty-fifty larn some novel vocabulary from it.
  • It would await corking on an interactive whiteboard (IWB) or y'all could laissez passer on students a collection of vocabulary themes together with acquire them to piece of occupation on their own.
  • Good to run every bit a filler for students who complete early

What I similar nigh it
  • It's free
  • Each wordsearch it generates is pretty much unique
  • The timing adds an chemical component of motivation together with contest to it
  • It's precisely hence simple
  • I tried a random alternative of real unsuitable words that students powerfulness seat inwards together with it seems that those words are censored, hence y'all don't convey to worry hence much nigh badly behaved students looking at unsuitable images
  • It's genuinely quite tricky

What I'm non hence certain about
  • Because it's based on the tags that images are given the words tin laissez passer on notice sometimes seem a flake tangential
  • It's genuinely quite tricky
  • You can't relieve your wordsearches (Actually I've precisely discovered that y'all can. If y'all await at the peak of the page y'all tin laissez passer on notice click 'embed puzzle' together with this volition generate a code that volition enable y'all to embed the wordsearch into a webpage or blog)
This is the sort of site that powerfulness convey been custom made for linguistic communication teaching.
Hope y'all detect it useful together with your students savor it.
