How to use it
Choose enough different words for your grid. Add optional definitions after a vertical bar. Give learners different cards. Read the words or definitions from the caller sheet in a shuffled order. A learner marks a matching cell.
Agree on a winning pattern before starting and check it against the caller sheet.
Adapt the activity
For an easier task, use fewer familiar items, a smaller grid and a visible word list. For more challenge, use definitions, add diagonal directions or ask learners to explain each answer. Test one sheet before making copies.
