Play a game of hangman with your own words.

Hangman

Tool
Grade 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Introduction
There's a reason Hangman is such a popular game - it's a great way for students to practice their spelling and vocabulary in a fun and interactive learning environment! When you play Hangman through Gynzy, you are given the opportunity to enter as many of your own words as you want. These words will then be chosen at random, allowing you to match the game to whatever other themes or activities are taking place in your classroom.

Playing the Game
Not only is Hangman a great way to practice vocabulary and spelling, but it is also a good opportunity to meet our robot friend, Virko. You have nine chances to pick the wrong letters, and every time you do, some part of Virko will break (no pressure, though). Letters which you have already guessed appear in a box in the top-left of the page so that you never lose track.

Choose carefully so that your students can expand their vocabulary, practice their spelling, and most importantly, stay in Virko's good graces!

Teaching Tips
Consider splitting your class into teams to foster a friendly sense of competition. By using our Timer or Hourglass tool, you can decide how long each team should have to choose a letter. For an added challenge, don't let your students write anything down while they brainstorm. Collaboration is key!
