Revisiting Wordwall

        I first blogged about Wordwall about 5 months ago, HERE. I made my 5 free activities and then I tried to upgrade for $6 a month, but my debit card would not work. I tried emailing for help and the answer was that I could buy a years subscription as a "single" school user and then they would take my bank information. They did not have a way for me to call and subscribe over the phone. This honestly made me just say, welp, forget that. I have a lot of other places I can make interactive things. I did not want to do a whole year. I wanted to try it for one month for only six dollars first before I committed to a longer subscription.

        Quite simply, I gave up. I only had a debit card because I have been trying to get out of debt and live within my means for most of my adult life. I recently got a pretty low interest credit card just because my debit card just does not always work, especially online or when traveling. Now that I am full on adulting and my credit score is healthy, I got a credit card just for peace of mind mostly. I decided to try it on Wordwall- and it worked instantly.

So now I have a month to make activities! I am super excited about group sort, missing word (which is basically cloze sentences), and unjumble.

You can find all of the activities I have created and will create on MY PROFILE PAGE and I have some below as well.

        FIND THE WOOZLE- Ok I was not sure what to do with Open the Box and then I got an idea, a wonderful idea. I knew from experience that simply putting picture cards in a brown paper bag and pulling them out for some reason makes an engaging, fun therapy activity that kids love. I don't get it, but I appreciate the simplicity. So, I knew that things hidden in boxes had to be something I could use. So, I created a game with it! I am calling it, Find the Woozle. Basically, students will pick a number or click on a box and then say the word with their target sound. Each word has a number after it- this is points for a game. If the child says the word correctly or uses it in a sentence (whatever your target level), then they get the points. The words are worth 1 to 5 points, but finding the WOOZLE is worth 10 points- plus it's just fun to be searching for something while you play. The person with the most points, wins. So, that is what Open the Box wordwall activities are for me, why the words have numbers, and why they all have a WOOZLE mixed in.

        Ok, that is a good start. I am going to be making a lot more interactive activities over the next month and you can find them on my Wordwall profile page.

        You can use these in speech and language therapy with a laptop or iPad. I have a projector and a wireless mouse that my kids use to play interactive games that I make in my therapy room. They enjoy playing and talking and I enjoy their engagement while they learn!

If you are doing online learning and/or teletherapy- this should work well!

Has anyone else used interactive Wordwall for speech and language therapy?
