Instructional Ideas

• Allow learners to use the word search on individual tablets or devices after finishing a test or classroom assignment
• Project the puzzle onto the whiteboard and solve as a class
• Have different students or groups generation different versions of the puzzle, and race to see who can finish first

Classroom Considerations

• Ads on the website direct away from the activity
• Provide headphones for the full audio experience

Pros

• Website plays a fun jingle song whenever learners find a word
• Found words are grayed out in the word box
• Refreshing the page provides a new version of the word search
• Comes in two versions: small (easier) and larger (harder)

Cons

• None
