Fun Word Games for Winter
Merriam-Webster’s Word Central has a few fun drill-and-practice games that you can share with your students. I tried three games: Robo-Bee, BIGbot and Jumble Kids. We’re not talking high-level thinking here, but if you want your students to practice their word skills, or if you need something for remediation, you might want to give these a try. They load easily and are played from your web browser.
Robo-Bee uses context clues to help students choose the correct word from other similar choices:
Jumble Kids is similar to the newspaper puzzle:
Enjoy!
