Hello, everyone! This is my Week 4 assignment. I use games or game-based materials a lot in my teaching and I love trying new tools or websites. As I won't have access to my own computer for the next week or so I decided to share with you some of the online games that I have created for my students on two of my favourite sites, https://www.tripticoplus.com/ and learningapps.org. Feel free to use the games or make any comments you deem necessary about them! As this is our last official assignment, I would like to thank Katherine for being a true source of motivation and you all for providing me with ideas, inspiration and lots of food for thought! :)
Triptico games
A2
https://tripticoplus.com/tshare/7jddv3ty/3595: A game on Passive Voice: Students need to find who has created, written, done one of the things on the cards and say the answer using a Passive Voice structure (for e.g. Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci)
C2
https://tripticoplus.com/tshare/6ft33dze/3598: This is a grammar game on Inversion and Cleft clauses. Students are split into two teams and try to get from one side of the board to the other by correctly identifying the missing words in each tile.

Hi Maria, thank you so much for your very kind words and for sharing these games (and websites) with us. I'm very impressed by your technological skills! These are an ideal way to recycle language and I'm sure the other participants will be interested in seeing them and maybe using them with their students. Are there clues for the crossword? Maybe using the QR code?
ReplyDeleteKatherine Bilsborough Thank YOU for all the support and generous comments :) Regarding the crossword, each clue appears once users click on the actual crossword tiles and try to find what each one of the words stands for.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria, I enjoyed trying your puzzles too. I would like to try these sites next semester with my students. They are a fun way to recycle. Recently, we've enjoyed using Quizlet Live for gamifying vocab quizzes. The students love it. I also wasn't sure about the learning apps crosswords. I could get the hints, and got a few answers, but when I was stuck, I wasn't sure how to reveal the answers. Thank-you, and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteAlan Simpson Thank you for your kind words, Alan! I also like Quizlet Live, especially with C2 classes. You should try Quizalize as well which allows you to import your Quizlet sets and create quizzes. Regarding your crossword question, the blue tick lets you know whether the word you've entered is correct. If it's not, it identifies the correct letters in the word you wrote. I actually prepared this crossword as self-study tool on the words that students were assigned as homework the definitions for which were the same as the crossword clues.
