Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday Sale neon thumbnail

Boy am I behind!  We had such a great Thanksgiving as a family.  It actually started before that because my parents were here last weekend and we celebrated Thanksgiving with them.  Then for the actual day, I made a smaller meal, but it was amazing.  We started decorating that house as well.  That’s one of my favorite things!  So here we are and it’s already Cyber Monday.

Word Search Makers

Even before I started selling resources, I loved to make word searches.  I just love word searches in general.    It really doesn’t matter who you’re making the word search for, they can be fun and entertaining.  Word searches are great for all ages from little ones (my Kinders always love them) to adults.

Over time, I’ve found several great word search makers online and I’d like to share them with you.  Some are free and some are for purchase.  If you plan on using one or need one for commercial use, please check the Terms of Use (TOU) or similarly named from each one to make sure that it’s allowed.  If you can’t find a TOU, please contact the site to ask them what is or isn’t allowed.

Here are just some of the word search makers that I’ve found over time.  Alright, so it’s 10….my top 10!

The FREE ones….

1.  Discovery Education Puzzlemaker

There are 8 steps to using this puzzlemaker.  You can choose title, size of the puzzle, shared letters, upper case or lower case, you words, to add directions or not, check your words and create the puzzle.  You can also choose your output type (image or HTML).  My favorite thing about this word search maker is that it allows you to put in whole paragraphs, instead of just a word per line.  There is also an option to generate an answer key with this one.  There are also other puzzlemakers available on this site like Fallen Phrase, Cryptogram, Maze, Hidden Message, and more!  Discovery Education does not allow commercial use.

2.  Two Lime Prints

This puzzle maker has plenty of options with it.  Some of the choices are grid size, grid shape, font, word direction, color (title, grid, words), border, and more.  You can also select to have it generate the answer.  The word search will generate as a PDF (or a PNG).  Just print and start playing!

3.  The Word Search

This word search maker allows you to add between 10 to 30 words to make your puzzle with the maximum word length being 14 letters.  For this one, it allows you to have spaces and dashes, which it will remove when it generates your puzzle.  This generator allows you to play online or print your puzzle out.  This site holds your puzzles for 30 days and they just may add it to their collection of available puzzles!

4.  SuperKids

This puzzle maker doesn’t have many options available, but it’s still a good one.  You can select the grid size and whether or not you want it to be an easy puzzle (no backward words).  Also, this one doesn’t allow numbers, spaces, or punctuation and it’s one word per line.  There is no answer key available.

5.  A to Z Teacher Stuff

This generator has a few choices like title, rows and columns, font style, font size, grid style, and word placement (direction).  Words can be from two to 15 letters and they can be place in the list separated by a comma or a space, or one per line.  For this one, you can also select from existing word lists.  There is no answer key available.

6.  Super Teacher Worksheets

This generator lets you choose level (basic, intermediate, advanced), header, alphabetized word list, and letter case style.  Words can be from three letters to sixteen letters with a recommended number of words of 20.

7.  ABCYa

There’s only 3 steps involved to make a word search with this maker.  This can be used for teaching children to spell at home or at school.

8.  Puzzlefast

This one allows you to make clues, phrases, multiple words, or omit for just the word.  There are also other types of puzzles available.  This one is very easy to use!

9.  Tools for Educators

This word search maker allows you to use images or text for hints/clues.  You can choose the font, 3 grid sizes, and upper or lower case letters.  If you use image clues, you can make up to 16.  They can be printed or used online.   

10.  The Teacher’s Corner

This word search maker allows you to use multi-word entries.  You can also make hidden message word searches.  There are lots of options like font, how many rows and columns, word placement, showing grid lines, and how many columns for the word list.  There is also the fun option to choose a shape for the puzzle from square to a car to a heart….and more!

The PAID ones….

123 Word Search Maker

$24.95/$18.71 with Educational Discount – Save $5 if you buy with the Crossword Weaver – FREE demo

There are 4 styles of word searches to include standard, hidden message, clues, and clues with hidden message.  You can also choose difficulty level, word direction, letter sharing, upper case or lower case (or both), and you can even choose how it prints.  Some of those options include export as text, export as HTML, export as image, and more.

Automatic Word Puzzle Maker

$10.00 – Bundle available for $30.00 (includes Word Search, Crossword Puzzle, Matching, Word Scramble, Letter Shapes, and Secret Code) – FREE demo

This generator operates in/with MS Word by using macros.  It functions on Win or Mac.  To use, enter your words and clues/descriptions, then generate your puzzle.  It also generates an answer key.  Some options when making your puzzle is upper case or lower case, grid shape, size, and more.  Spaces between words are removed.  Once generated, you save your puzzle as an editable file so you can alter it if needed, copy/paste into the project your making, and so on.  They offer customer service and have a YouTube channel on how to use the puzzle maker.  Commercial use is allowed.

Word Search Machine

$20.00 – Combo available for $36.00 (includes Word Search Machine and Crossword Puzzle Machine

This program works on PC and MAC by using Flash Player.  In just a matter of minutes, you can create a word search that can be printed or saved as an image.  Complete directions for set-up and use are included.  You can insert up to 30 words.  You have options like puzzle size and how often letters are shared.  It will also generate an answer key if you select that option.  Commercial use is allowed.

There are so many more, but these are the favorites that I’ve used over the years.  There’s so many that are so good and worth mentioning.  However, I did want to limit it to 10 so that it wouldn’t overdue it.  I hope that you find this useful and that it’ll help you in your word search endeavors.  

Do you have any favorite word search generators?  If so, please let me know in the comments.  I’d love to know if you have used any that I’ve used and didn’t include or maybe didn’t know about it.  Also, let me know if you’ve used any of these and if you like them as much as I do!

Cyber Monday

This year has gone by so fast.  I can’t believe that Thanksgiving has already come and gone.  I hope that you all are doing well and staying healthy.  I’ve been busy creating lots of new activities to help you and your kids with their religious education.  There’s many new things listed at The Treasured Schoolhouse and I hope that if you haven’t already seen them, that you’ll check them out soon.

Since the year has gone by so fast, and we’re past both Thanksgiving and Black Friday, it’s time for Cyber Monday!  Cyber Monday means that it’s time for a sale!  

Cyber Sale up to 25% off

All of The Treasured Schoolhouse stores will be on sale for 20% off on 30 November and 1 December.  Yes….every single resource in my shops are on sale!  You can find The Treasured Schoolhouse at…. 

TeachersPayTeachers – 20% off plus an extra 5% off with code CYBER20

Made by Teachers – 20% off (I had trouble scheduling this one, so I’m not sure if it’s going to work or not.)

Teacher’s Dojo – 20% off

Amazon Ignite – 20% off  (Amazon automatically sets this one, so it starting depends on them.)

I want to tell you about a few new things at The Treasured Schoolhouse….

First, there’s the Our Lady (Marian) series that I’m working on.  When completed, there will be at least one pack per month of activities to do for Marian celebrations.  Currently available are the Queenship of Mary, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Sorrows, and several more!  I’m currently working on Our Lady of Guadalupe for her celebration in December.

Also for December is St. Nicholas Day and I have an activity pack for that.  There’s lots of things for kids of all ages to do.  Last year, I made a similar pack for St. Lucia Day.  Now that they’re both done, there’s a bundle available that include both packs and it’s 20% off the individual prices.  But guess what!?  With the Cyber Monday sale, you can get an additional 20% that already discounted price!

I’ve also been working on some Math Packs.  I made a new one for Halloween with candy corn and one for December/Christmas with candy canes.  I really had fun making those and hope that early learners love them as much as I do!

Some other new materials to note, I finished the “people in the Bible” series.  It now includes Fathers, Mothers, and Children in the Bible.  I love these resources!  I’ve also added to the “family tree” series by adding Noah and Adam.  There’s an Inside the Church Bingo Game and 3-Part Montessori Cards.

So please don’t miss this opportunity to grab some great deals!  I hope that you all have a very Happy and Blessed Holiday Season!

Time for Back to School….and a Sale

Hello all!

I know that it’s been forever since I’ve posted.  I’ve been busy though.  I’m guessing that you all have been as well.  I’m hoping that this finds you healthy and safe.

notebook with TpT back to school sale info

First, the big thing is the site-wide Back to School sale on TpT.  Everything at The Treasured Schoolhouse will be 20% off.  With code BTS20, you can get an extra 5% off.  The sale will be 4-5 August and if you add the code, you’ll get up to 25% off.

In addition to that sale, my shop at Made for Teachers will be on sale as well.  Everything will be 20% off from 4-6 August.  I’ll be adding more resources to The Treasured Schoolhouse at that location in the next couple of days as well.

I’ve been getting to work on adding the digital layer to my resources.  As I said in my last blog post, the digital layer adds a layer to PDFs so that they can be used in Google Classroom.  They aren’t Google Classroom resources, but with this tool, they can be assigned and turned in via that process.  The tool allows the buyer or seller to add answer boxes, and has a pen and highlighter tool.  I’m working on updating my resources so that you don’t have to do it and can easily access them for your Google Classroom needs.  Again, remember that it’s just a layer and not an actual resource type so that you can assign them in that format.  I’m keeping a list of all the resources that I’ve updated.  It states the resource name, how many pages, and in most cases which pages/activities.  You can click here to view the list.  I’ll keep it updated as I add more materials with the layer.  Also, you can still get the PDF and have access to the digital layer!

I think that about covers it for now.  I hope that you have an amazing start to the school year.  Happy shopping!

Let’s Go Digital!

distance learning classroom

This has been quite the time for all of use.  Whether you homeschool, are a teacher, work in a daycare, or anything else related to working with kids, this has been a changing and learning time.  Many schools and classes went to online learning and some had to send printed packs home.  This time has changed for not only the teacher or parent, but also for the student.  Online learning and distance learning are the main forms of education right now.  I’m trying to adapt with the changing times.

iPad or Chromebook for online learning or distance learning

In an attempt to grow and change with the times, I’ve joined a group beta testing on TpT.  What this beta test group is doing is adding a layer over simple PDFs and making them interactive.  Some of the features that can be added are a text box so that students can type their answers in, a pen, and a highlighter.  For those stores part of the beta test group, the seller and the buyer can make these changes by adding this layer to the PDF.  

How it works is a button is clicked on to make it digital and the resource will open.  The pages to make “digital” are then opened and you select which pages you want to use.  For example, you can remove the answer keys so that the students aren’t seeing those.  The answer (text) boxes are then layered on top.  You can also type directions in the side bar of each page.  An example of directions would be, “Use the highlighter to mark the words in the puzzle as you locate the words found in the “Word Bank”.  Once you do that, you assign it to your class in Google Classroom.  The student will then open it and know to use the highlighter to mark the words in the word search.

What I’m doing to help is to put the digital layer on my resources.  I’m picking the pages that I think work best for online learning and the resources that will work best.  I know I have resources that this won’t work for at all, but I don’t currently have the option to exclude them.  I know that there’s also pages in each resource that it won’t work well with.  It’s my hope that I can make this easier on anyone who purchases something from me on TpT for online and distance learning.

This is actually a rather long and tedious process, but it’s worth it to me if I can help anyone in doing this.  I’m making a list of the resources that I’ve updated with this digital layer.  It hopefully makes it easier to find the things that are already updated.  As I said though, the buyer also has the option to update with the digital layer since I’m part of the beta test group.  You can click here to see the list and I will continue to update the list as I do more resources.

I hope that this helps you all in some way during these changing times.  I’m not even sure what to expect as we go back to religious education in the Fall, but I think that I’m ready.  I know that I’ll do what I have to do and I know that you all will as well. 

Stay safe and healthy!

Temporary Update to TOU

"update" in purple box

Hello all!  In an effort to help my buyers and followers, I’m doing a temporary update to my Terms of Use (TOU).  Please read below for the complete update.

update on blue arrow with other blue and white arrows

 

With the current situation of schools being closed and masses, as well as religious education/Sunday School classes being cancelled, I’m opening my TOU to try to help you get the resources to the students.  Please note that these are temporary updates and there are stipulations, so please read thoroughly. 

Here are the changes to the TOU….

  1. You may upload resources to a site, BUT it must be secured.  That means that parents/students require a password or something similar to access the resources.  That way, others can’t do a random Google search and it shows up in the search results for just anyone to download.
  2. You may use my resources on Google (Drive, Classroom) for access by your students/families.  They should be the one ones allowed access and the link shouldn’t be shared with anyone but your own class.
  3. You may send my resources via e-mail so that your students/families can have access to them.    
  4. You may print off my resources and put in packets to handout to your students/families to work on at home.  This should only be done for class.

terms of use text on blue arrow with other blue and white arrows

Here are the Terms for being able to do the above….

  1. My name/copyright must stay in-tact on each page.
  2. The resources you purchase are only for your classroom and must not be shared with other teachers/classes.  You can purchase additional licenses for a discount price if other teachers are interested in the resource.
  3. These temporary changed to my TOU are only effective until 30 April.  At that time, I will re-access the situation and see how many schools and churches are still closed and/or doing distance learning.

I hope that this is of help to all of you.  I know that this is a trying time for all of us.  I want to help as much as I possibly can.  Additional things that I’m trying to do is update the freebies on my blog and make sure that all the links are working to download.  This is quite time consuming and not going as quickly as I want.  I’m trying though.  Don’t forget that if you sign-up for my newsletter that you also get a password to the resource library for subscribers only.  There’s not a lot there, but I do try to reward my followers.

Everyone, please stay safe and healthy.  Remember your social distancing.  And please, contact me if you have any questions or concerns about my resources or these updated terms.

**I have NOT personally visited or used all of these sites.  It is up to each individual if to deem them appropriate for their kids or students.  Some offers may have limitations based on location or other rules and regulations.**

 

I hope that these links are helpful to you and your kids or students.  If you know of any that I could add, I’d be happy to do that.  Just leave a comment and I’ll add it ASAP.
