Wikipedia Crossword

How many times in your life have you wished you actually had the capability of generating an awesome learning game, without much hassle, on various subjects? If you're a teacher or any kind of tutor for that matter, you probably wished for such a possibility. Well, that possibility is now a reality. Wikipedia Crossword is an interesting extension available for Chrome. It can create word games using any Wikipedia page. It's fast and it's definitely easy to use.

It's simple. The main idea is you have to have Google Chrome for it to work. Once installed, the extension will add an icon next to the browser's address bar. From here, open any Wikipedia page, say a page about some historic figure from The American War of Independence. Click the icon next to the address bar and choose the type of game you'd like to create. There are two possibilities: classic crossword or search for the word.

Another neat feature is the ability to print your created games, probably as handouts for homework or a team game in class. This little extension is indeed a big help to those trying to find fun and educative ways of teaching difficult subjects in class. It also supports many languages, as well as special alphabet characters, if you wish to use those. Last but not least, the app has a feature that allows you to see the right answers so that you never get truly stuck on a game.

The bottom line with Wikipedia Crossword is you can easily create an interesting game to help your students or even children understand complicated concepts better. It's fast and it's reliable, it offers plenty of options for someone who would like to have diversity in their teaching methods, and it does not cost a single dime.
