This is the perfect vocabulary activity for your class when you have a few minutes and you want them to have
another opportunity to work with the words from the chapter. If you have played Boggle in the past, note that
I have modified the game to make it easier for the world language classroom.
A few things:
There are certain vocabulary words that have been intentional built into the game. However, the
students are still encouraged to make, and will score points for, any words they write in Spanish that
are two letters or more. See below for the built-in vocabulary.
You might want to go over the rules with the students before they play, make sure they understand
what “bouncing back” between the letters means. My students have also had trouble with the fact that
you can change directions within the same word (my guess is that they are used to word searches in
which you can’t do that). So this might need to be explained.
You could make this either a whole class race, or you could have the students race a designated
partner.
I have the students do this activity at the beginning of the chapter when they are still learning the
vocabulary and I allow them to have their books open. As an alternative, you could have them do this
the day before the test as a review.
I pass the assignment out face-down and signal them to turn them over once everyone has one. This
way, all students have the same amount of time to finish the puzzle.
When time is up, students can score their own papers, and put the value of each word in the space
next to it.
If you have the students play in pairs you could make it so they have to tell their partners the meaning
of each word before they receive points for the word- you could do this either open or closed book.
