Word game fun with Wordslide


Another great wordgame - a little like Boggle - where you race the clock to make as many words as possible form the 6 letters provided. You can race against other players or just challenge yourself.

Take a look here - Wordslide

There are other games on the same site - a fun Geography one for those of you working a cross curricular programme.

Wordle..

There just has to be a way to use this tool in class !!

Wordle tales a chunk of text and turns it into a word cloud - like the one below made from a Yr13 piece of writing on 'Teenage Drivers'
