Flashcards, Matching, Memory game, Crossword and Word search

The five word games are built from one list of terms and their definitions.

The five Learn words types all work the same way: you type a list of terms and what each one means, and the type turns it into a game.

Type	What students do	Marked?
Flashcards	Turn each card and say whether they knew it.	No
Matching	Join each term to its definition.	A point for each pair
Memory game	Turn cards over two at a time to find the pairs.	No
Crossword	Fill a grid whose clues are your definitions.	A point for each word
Word search	Find the terms hidden in a grid of letters.	No

Build the list

Make the interaction: for example, on My activities choose Interactions, then New interaction, then Flashcards.
Under The word list, type a Term and its Definition on each row. Add a row adds another, up to 50.
To give a row a picture, select its picture button, then type the picture's address and describe it.
Use the arrows on a row to move it, or the cross to delete it. A list keeps at least two rows.

It saves by itself a moment after each change.

The settings

The panel on the right says how the game plays, and has one setting for some types:

Flashcards: Shuffle the cards, so each student gets their own order.
Memory game: A pair is either A term and its definition or Two cards of the same term.
Word search: Words run Across and down, or Every way, backwards too.

Crossword and Word search use the first 20 terms. Their grid is built from the saved list each time it opens, and a crossword uses letters only.

Select Try it to play it as a student, in a new tab.
