To add hangman puzzles, you must first add the Hangman app to the course (see Adding the 'Hangman' app to a course, above).
- Enter a course.
- Click Add.
- Click Hangman game.
- Click the title area, and replace the default title with your own.
- Enter a description that instructs the participants in what to do (this will be visible to all participants).
- In the Word field, enter the word you want the participants to guess. Example: umbrella.
- In the Clue field, enter a clue that says something about the word. Example: Something used to keep you dry.
- In the Hint 1 and Hint 2 fields, enter two hints that the participants can reveal if they get stuck. Examples: Starts with a vowel and Hemispherical object used in the rain.
- From the Image set drop-down, select Elephant or Monkey. If you select Monkey, the participants will see a monkey that loses a banana every time they guess an incorrect letter. Alternatively, the elephant loses his limbs one by one.
- Select the desired language from the Language drop-down list.
- Decide whether to activate the game.
- Click Save.
With a simple and free word game available from the app library, the Hangman app enables teachers to create simple and fun word quizzes in which the player tries to guess the letters of a word. With this tool, designed to reduce creation time to an absolute minimum and help students build their vocabulary and reading comprehension, teachers simply fill in the form with words and clues and the app generates a fun activity with a simple click of the mouse. The teacher can add several words and choose between two distinct designs, in which familiar characters from our 'Animal misfits' intermediate skin play the role of the eponymous but, of course, figurative hanged man.
