Fun Word Generator

I wanted  to share with you a fun word generator from Game Gal that you can 

use for quick game time fillers, indoor PE, or rainy day activities. I plan to bookmark this to have quick access to fun games like Charades or Pictionary. It does the "thinking" of the word for you. So cool!

I can also see how you could use this for vocabulary games or writing topics. Display it on your projector and have students brainstorm about the word shown, in this case, picnics. You could ask the class, "What would you take with you on a picnic?" or brainstorm as many picnic foods as you can.

The possibilities are endless. Give it a try.

Grab the Vocabulary

Do you need to liven up your teaching of vocabulary? I've got just the thing to do it!
An online visual thesaurus called Vocab Grabber is an amazing tool to use in the classroom.
Basically, you copy and paste any text into their generator. I used one of my blog posts as an example:

Then you "grab/generate" the text into a visual representation like this:

It's way cool because every word in your text can be sorted in different ways by part of speech (each part of speech is a different color), occurence, familiarity, A-Z, subject area and more. If you click on an individual word it will show a visual illustration of synonyms that are color coded by parts of speech.  I created a worksheet to use in conjunction with this amazing website. I hope you enjoy it!
