What the Wordle - a perfect vocabulary game.

SEE all the What the Wordles on our WHAT THE WORDLE PAGE. All of them just click - pause - check.

Wordle is a great place to create "word pictures". I've used it to create these vocabulary games. Play with the worksheet. Students guess the category/title/topic. Then, they try to add more vocabulary items to those shown. More points for each additional "valid" word. Lots of brainstorming fun. See ELT and Tech tutorials for info. on how to make your own Wordles.

Get your own students making their own wordles to practice/learn your own curriculum content!

I tried to do something different with this presentation of wordles. Simply GO HERE and see them. Play What the Wordle. It is in my Picasa web album - something teachers might use!

Headrick,

I've updated the top description so you can find where you can make Wordles. Also, many more presentations I've made on our What the Wordle page.

Yeah, you are right, they really get students thinking and motivated. So simple to use too...

To save your wordle, you will have to use some kind of screen capture technology. I recommend SNAG IT but you can also just use Print Screen (hit your Control button + Print Screen then save).
