Create Spelling Games Via Flippity

Flippity's Spelling Words - http://flippity.net/ - is a free Google Sheets template that you can use to create individualised spelling games for learners. 

To do this you simply have to…
• make a list of words that you want each of your learners to practice. 
• put those lists under your learners' names in a Google Sheets template that is provided by Flippity.

To get started users can…

• either go to Flippity.net and select the Spelling Words template or use Flippity's Google Sheets add-on and select Spelling Words. 
• Once users have made a copy of the template they then have to write their learners' names across the second row of the spreadsheet. 
• Below each learner's name users will enter the list of words that they want them to practice spelling. 
• If users would like to, they can enter a sentence along with each spelling word in order to provide learners with some content for its use. 
• There is an option to have learners' results emailed to you. To do that users enter their email address below each learner's name in their spreadsheet.
• Once users/Educators have completed the steps listed above, they select "publish to the web" from the "File" drop-down menu in Google Sheets and then click the "get link here" tab that appears at the bottom of their spreadsheet.
  That link is the one that you will give to students to play the games. 

How to Play a Flippity Spelling Words Game:

Flippity Spelling Words games has three primary modes for learners…

1. "list" which simply reads each spelling word aloud to learners. 
2. "practice" in which learners hear a word read aloud and then have to type it. 
3. "quiz" mode in which learners again hear the words read aloud and have to type them. It is the resulting quiz scores that users can have emailed to them. 

For learners to play a Flippity Spelling Words game they have to…

• go to the URL that the user generated in the last step of the creation process outlined above. 
• select their names from the list of names that appears on the screen. If a learner chooses the wrong name, he/she can simply hit the back button to choose a different name. 
• progress through the games at their own pace. 

If learners master the spelling games that users have created for them through Flippity Spelling Words, they can choose the "more" tab on their games and see a set of related activities that are based on the same set of words. 

"Those additional games included a memory/ matching game, a snowman/ hangman game, a word scramble, and a word search."
