Word Search Maker
Kids love word searches! Not only do they give the brain a workout, but they encourage problem solving, help with spelling, and boost the working memory. This word search maker allows you to create a variety of puzzles for your own list of words. Create word search puzzles for student names, holidays, spelling lists, vocabulary words, and more! Let me show you how it works.

Roll & Cover Gameboards
One of the word work games my kids enjoy playing is roll and cover. It is a lot like Bingo. I teach my students three ways to play: 1-player, 2-player, and small group. In the game, a student rolls a die. There is a chart at the top of the page that tells the student what each number means. The student must look for, correctly read, and cover the word that follows the rule. If there aren’t any words available, the student loses that turn. Play continues until a student has covered four in a row.
