A literacy focussed Interactive Whiteboard resource. This resource is to be played at the IWB by students. A common vowel combination is shown at the top of the screen and the student is challenged to make the longest word they can from the variety of letters shown on the given tiles. Non-scoring words such as those that do not contain the given vowels or are incorrect will result in points being taken away. A four letter word will score 1, a five letter word 2, 6 letters will score 3 and more than 6 will score 5. Each game is timed with the time available be set by the teacher. There will always be at least a 4 letter word that is possible for each selection.
A high score facility has been suggested for some previous resources so has been incorporated into this resource for the current session.
This resource will take longer to load than others due to the size of the built in dictionary. If any problems are found with the dictionary such as not recognising a common word please report it as well as any other errors you may encounter. As ever the final error testing for this resource is in the hands of the users.
The first non-maths activity for this site. Use as a starter or plenary activity in a literacy lesson. Click roll and the dice will generate a new set of letters. The rules for how words can be made from the resulting letters will be left for the teachers to decide.
This interactive whiteboard classroom activity produces a scrambled maths keyword for the students to solve. Alternatively enter a word for the computer to scramble and present. Useful as a starter to the lesson or to fill some time for the early arrivals while waiting for the rest of the students to arrive. Have a word projected on to the interactive whiteboard ready for students to unscramble.
