WORDWALL

Wordwall

Teachers can create their own interactive games for children or use created by others.

A wide variety of activities and games can be used to help reinforce vocabulary words that appear on the wall.

Worldwall as the platform contains a wide selection of mini-games that can be used to review theory, concepts and vocabulary items.

Worldwall takes gamification to the next level by offering a variety of mini-games. It can be both interactive and printable activities.

Interactive games can be played on any web-enabled device, such as a computer, tablet, phone or interactive whiteboard. They are designed to be played individually by children, although they can also be teacher-led, for instance by projecting the game and having students call out answers.

Most of the games offered on Wordwall can also be printed, either as a companion document to the online game, or as a stand-alone activity.
