So if you're looking for a matching game or a sorting game or a way to practice
0:05
vocabulary words in Google Classroom or any other LMS, then you may want to check
0:09
out EduCandy. EduCandy is a free website for teachers. It's one that will
0:14
allow you to take your terms, bring them into EduCandy, and then share different
0:19
games with a link. Students will not have to have logins or enter their name
0:23
They'll just click on the link and it will take them directly to the game that you created for them to practice some of their vocabulary terms. So here's how
0:31
it works. The first step is to go to EduCandy.com and create a free account
0:37
Once you're there, you'll want to create your first activity. You'll notice that
0:42
there's a few different options. For this one, I'm going to choose create a list of
0:46
matching pairs. So all you'll have to do is to add the word and the match and
0:52
you'll see them on the side here once you've entered those correctly. Now there's no way to do this by copying and pasting a block of text like there
1:00
is in a program like Quizlet, so you'll have to enter each of these individually
1:03
But once you do that, if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see all of the different games that your students can play given the list of words that you
1:11
created. Everything from matchup to crosswords or memory. So to share a game
1:22
if you scroll to the bottom, you'll notice that it will give you a link. You'll just want to copy this link and this is the link to share in your
1:30
learning management system or in Google Classroom. All you have to do is create
1:34
an assignment, paste the link, and assign to your students. Now when your students
1:44
click on that link, they'll be taken to your activity and they can play any of
1:50
these five different games. Again, there's no need for students to log in. They
1:55
don't have to enter their name. They click on the link directly from Google Classroom or any learning management system and it will take them directly to
2:03
the game that they want. So again, this is Educandy.com, a free sign up for any
2:10
teacher and something to try if you're looking for a different and maybe a fun
2:14
way to practice vocabulary words. you
