... or however you want to name it. This project has been at the back of my mind for a while and seemed to have succeeded my search for a web based programme that will allow me to do it. It is by no means perfect but it is functional, it does animate one of my AWL games and it will (test pending) more than likely work on an IWB so it ticks all of the boxes.
I used this site http://matchthememory.com/ which unfortunately looks a bit childish (it is designed for kids) but I can over look that for the time being.
I wanted to make a list of AWL vocabulary into a memory game whereby students would match a word from a given sub-list, in this case 1 and 2, with its opposite or antonym. I was largely successful in doing this. There were a few issues, the most cosmetic of which being that the font was slightly too large and some of the words didn't quite fit but for a 1st attempt I can deal with that.
The nature of the game is simply memory match two cards which are the same. This does not quite work if you want the matching cards to have opposites on them. To solve this I had to make the exercise a picture - word match. I did this by making the word list vocabulary into .jpg files and uploading them. This then has the residual benefit of giving me the colour coding that I have in the paper games that I have been struggling to get with hot-potatoes.
All in all a successful experiment!
