Brief Description

  • Free version with access to basic activities, premium subscription available for extended functionality.

Pedagogical Application

Wordwall can be used to:

  • Design interactive games that reinforce both academic subject vocabulary and everyday communication skills.
  • Use competitive or collaborative game modes to increase motivation and participation among learners from diverse backgrounds.
  • Apply templates (e.g. “match-up”, “whack-a-mole”) for quick warm-ups or topic reviews in a CLIL context.
  • Link activities to real-life situations (e.g. school routines, shopping) to bridge academic and everyday language learning.
  • Share game links for independent or family-supported learning outside of mentoring sessions.

Example: Create a “matching” game linking history timeline events with their names in English, reinforcing both content and language learning.
