The Best Sites For Making Crossword Puzzles & Hangman Games

Today, I’d like to create another “The Best…” list, this time focusing on more simple and “old-fashioned” word games like crossword puzzles and hangman. I’ll share places where you can create these games for free and have them hosted online so anyone can play them at anytime and will also list sites that allow you to easily create the games, but for printing out hard copies only. Either way, the only way I think these activities provide occasional useful learning opportunities is when students create the games themselves.

Then, they can share them among their peers. A speed competition can be a lot of fun.

Looking for a way to calm those first-day-of-school jitters -- for your students and yourself? Why not try an "icebreaker"? Icebreakers, fun activities to help students get to know one another and their teachers, can ease those first-day nerves and get the school year off to a great start. Some teachers prefer to jump right into classroom rules and instruction. Teacher Ellen Berg used to rush into instruction on the first day of school. One of Berg's favorite activities is a mini-lesson on scale drawing. Lessons such as this one are great icebreakers, and they are great teaching lessons too, Berg added. Anne Jolly agrees that icebreakers can be easily slanted to accomplish academic goals. Icebreakers A special thank you to this year's icebreaker contributors!
