People tend to explain Flippity as a flash card maker, but it is so much more than that! With the Flippity Add-On, you can create the following things:
- Flashcards
- Memory game
- Quiz show (like Jeopardy)
- Random name picker (will even create random groups)
- Word search
- Spelling words
- Badge tracker
- Crossword
- Bingo
- Hangman
- Progress indicator
- Mad Libs
- Mix and match grid
- Certificate quiz (take a quiz, get a certificate at the end)
Generally speaking, here is how to use the add-on:
- Open a new Google Sheets file.
- Click add-ons (once you've already gotten the add-on).
- Move mouse to Flippity.
- Click Pick a Template.
- Click through the templates by clicking n the edge of each card.
- On each card, you can view a demo or get the template.
- Click on Template. The template spreadsheet will open up with the demo information in it as placeholders. There are also directions for how to use the template. Change all the placeholder information with what you want to create, following the instructions (this includes the information for publishing the file -- super easy, just a couple mouse clicks).
- Get the link for what you created by clicking on Add-Ons while you are in the spreadsheet template, moving your mouse to Flippity, then clicking on Flippity.net URL (this will give you a web address you can share to use whatever you created).
Because it is published, when you make a change in the spreadsheet, the change will also take place on whatever you created -- super simple to update!
You might think this sounds complicated -- it's not. It is literally fill in the blank easy! You can create all sorts of activities for your students or have them create activities for themselves or their classmates.
Want to give Flippity a try but don't want to tackle it on your own? Get in touch -- I am seriously SO EXCITED to get some teachers using this tool!
