PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This program automatically creates matching and multiple choice
quizzes, word searches, cryptolists, vocabulary bingo cards,
flash cards, and word juggles from your words and clues. Word
list files are 100% compatible with CROSSWORD POWER from
WISCO Computing. Includes foreign language character support.
The word search size can be varied up to 36 columns and 20 rows.
Below the word search, the hidden word, a definition of the word,
or the first letter of the hidden word with trailing blanks
can be printed.
A variety of VOCABULARY BINGO CARDS can also be created and
printed from your list of vocabulary words. The optional FREE
SPACE may be placed in the center of the card. Multiple cards
can be automatically printed.
CRYPTOLISTS substitute a different letter of the alphabet for
each letter of the vocabulary word. Users attempt to find the
pattern for the other words.
JUGGLE WORDS juggle the letters of a word. JUGGLE WITH CLUES
juggles the letters of the word and provides the clue for help.
FLASH CARDS may be printed six different ways. The FLASH CARDS
can also be used as the calling cards for BINGO.
MATCHING QUIZZES select words and clues from the word list,
then randomly rearrange the clues.
MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZZES select clues, than randomly choose four
words for the choices.
MAGIC NUMBER SQUARES select words and clues from the word list.
When correctly matched, each row and column total to the same number.
The word lists created are 100% compatible with our other
product CROSSWORD POWER. This allows these vocabulary
words to be automatically arranged in crossword puzzles with
their definitions printed below.
