Addicted to Whirly Word

I've officially been on holiday break for the past three days and might be addicted to the app Whirly Word....help!!!

Here is an idea for the classroom:
  1. Project your ipad/ipod on the activboard or smartboard, whichever you have. As a class, have your students write down (on whiteboards) all the words they can create with the six letters on the whirly word screen. Set a timer....
  2. Do the same activity, but have student in pairs with one ipad. They can type their words in the Pages app.
  3. Students can get points for words that no one else found. Student with most points gets to got to the activboard or smartboard and start a new game. (plays the facilitator/gameshow host, etc.)
