The original activity can be found at https://learnanytime-mycreations.blogspot.com/2024/08/spelling-and-vocabulary-boggle-puzzle-3.html A picture catalogue of all my resources can be found at : https://learnanytime-practising.blogspot.com Based on the Parker dice game Boggle. Again I would welcome any feedback, especially as they are so easy to create. The concept is simple, you have a 4 x 4 grid of random letters from which you have to construct 3 + letter words using letters which are next to each other vertically, horizontally and/or diagonally. In the board game you have 3 minutes to find as many words as you can. The learning part is in the scoring. One person reads out their list of words [one at a time] scoring one point for every word which has not been found by anyone else. The second person then reads out their words … and so on. There can be a “winner” each round, points can be given for the longest word found or the most unusual…Through playing this game it may well be that some “spatial” learners do better when seeing the words in a 3D context. The groans of “why didn’t I see that?” and “why didn’t I write down the plural?” will be heard constantly. This maybe suitable as a fun end of lesson activity. All of my activities are created on an Acer Chromebook in a series of Posts on a Google Blog. So, if you have a blog, or want to create one to try this concept out, simply copy and paste the text in the downloaded text file as a NEW POST and PUBLISH. They are created as TEMPLATES for you to adapt and add your own content. The activities are meant to be fun, flexible and differentiated. They are meant to develop transferable skills and be cross curricular. As a result they hopefully reinforce small chunks of information and give a better understanding of a topic. Most of the activities are aimed at UK National Curriculum KS1 and KS2. Contact me at : learnanytime@gmail.com

To counter balance the Lateral Thinking fun I thought I ought to include some serious aspect to Xmas. So here is a Christmas Quiz [1].

You may just need a few reminders, especially on reindeer names.

…just in case…

Some people seemed interested so I thought I would add another.

End of term cryptic puzzle. Fun but educational. We spend a lot of time getting learners to “think inside the box” but what about “outside of the box”. You maybe surprised at the skills of some learners.
