Wordwall——Create your own classroom game in just a few minutes！😯


Hi guys! Welcome back to Explore English Teaching with Leah! 
Before we start our adventure, let me ask you a question. Do you like playing games? have you ever played an English learning game? 

Personally, I remember when I was younger, a popular game for young children in computer classes was a spelling game. There was a picture of a little frog trying to cross a river and to do so the students had to spell the letters on a lotus leaf and for each correct spelling, the frog could jump forward one lotus leaf until they got all the words right. It is certainly the most fun for the students to learn new words in a game!


Although the children enjoy the frog game, it can be boring to use the same game all the time. Now, however, teachers can create their own games online through the website. Today we will take a look at a fantastic game-making website: Wordwall.

Wordwall is an online game creation site where teachers can use templates on the site to create a game related to classroom content in minutes and share the link with students during or outside of class.


Here are some instructions videos on Youtube:

Wordwall - Best Teacher Tool to Create Activities and Games for Class

There are a number of online game-creating sites nowadays and I highly recommend Wordwall because it's really convenient and efficient. For comparison, it only takes five minutes to make a group sort by Wordwall. Another popular site for learning games is H5P. It took me half an hour to create the same content using H5P, and there were many bugs in the process. Compared to other sites, Wordwall is easy to create, has a very nice interface, and has a wide variety of games to choose from. 


Enter a teaching topic in Community to search for it and you can see games made by other teachers and save them for use directly.

Another useful feature is the ability to change the game to another template with one click. Repeat the same learning content in a different game format.


Here are some interesting games in the community

maze chase  (I really enjoy playing this game!)


That's all for today. Click on this link and try it! https://wordwall.net/
Please share any ideas you have with us in the comments section! ✌

    Wow Leah, it looks like you've done a great job introducing this tool. I have the same experience as you playing the little frog game in the primary school hhh. I really enjoyed it. So Wordwall might be a good tool for me to help my students experience the similar game. Thank you!

A few thoughts on Larry's blog

A few thoughts on Larry's blog   Organisation and layout   Clear and easy to follow.   Ease of use and Navigation Separate sections for different posts. Each post is accompanied by a corresponding image and a very interesting introduction.   Content and features   Including information and guidance on teaching English as a foreign language.   Commercial nature is very strong. Many posts lead the viewer to buy author's books and courses. The texts are interspersed with Amazon links.   Monologue : the comment function is turned off and is not displayed. Turning off comments, while effective in preventing advertising, also creates an information gap between the viewer and the author. The viewer is unable to discuss freely and can not get any review of the purchased course.   Ease of use and Navigation   Simple and easy to follow the navigation .   Articles that have been read will change colour on the front page to make it easier to distinguish .   Target Audience   The target  au

An Option for Online English Learning , Practical and Free!😍

  The British Council's multimedia English learning website is a free English learning website set up by the British Council, one of the organisers of the IELTS exam. You can watch videos online, follow step-by-step instructions and practice your English. You can find English Skills Training, Grammar, Vocabulary, Business English, General English and IELTS courses in the menu bar of the website. Let's take listening as an example. First, you need to choose your level, which is divided into Elementary, Pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper-intermediate and Advanced. The second step is to choose the course you prefer. The course provides not only the audio but also some tasks, in terms of vocabulary and comprehension of the audio. From my point of view, the listening content is relevant to daily life and can also be used as a suitable material to practise oral English. At the end of the exercises, there is often a discussion area for learners to comment, where you can see what ot
