This week: Improving word power
I am minorly obsessed with word puzzles and Boggle is my favourite. I find that playing regularly helps to improve my vocabulary.
The two online Boggle simulators below can be used as an extension, as long as you don’t need to have instructions on the board for the rest of the class, or you don’t mind having pupils sitting at your computer.
I suggest loading up a board and giving pupils a dictionary, if you have one handy, so that they can check their words. If you freeze the board, there’s no need to worry about the time limit, either.
