Happy Friday from Literacy Connexus y’all! I hope that this blog post finds you happy, healthy, and enjoying your spring break. Today, I am sharing a short and sweet warm up activity idea for those post break lesson plans.
After break, we’re warming up with WORDLE!
If you haven’t heard of Wordle, it’s a word game that taking the internet by storm. Wordle is a word game that gives users 6 tries to guess a random five letter word. While it isn’t specifically made for ESL students, and may be a little hard for low level students, there is a website that lets you create custom Wordle puzzles!
This can be a great way to have students warm up and review unit vocabulary in the morning. Have students guess the wordle using the custom link and then write a sentence with it to demonstrate understanding of the word’s meaning.
Excited? Me too! So, how does it work?
- Go to mywordle.strivemath.com
- Click “Make your own wordle” at the top
- Enter in any word from your vocabulary list!
Easy as pie!
Will you be wordle-ing with your students this Spring? Let us know in the comments.
Until next time, blessings and happy teaching!
