Parole Intrecciate Word searches are a simple and effective way of encouraging students to engage with the written word in***Italian***, refreshing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This set is aimed at beginner Italian students of all ages, focusing on I giorni della settimana. The target vocabulary also includes related words such as oggi, domani and dopodomani. Additionally, ordinal numbers primo, ultimo, secondo and so on, provide an additional language learning opportunity, and to increase the challenge in a number of grids. Students have to apply their broader knowledge of Italian in order to know which word to search for in the grid, for example il terzo giorno della settimana? This makes the activity more comprehensive and engaging than a straightforward days of the week vocabulary exercise.

The set features 10 differentiated word searches, with an increasing level of challenge. Grids 1-5 feature Italian prompts and Italian responses in the grid. Students also complete a list of corresponding translations in English for additional consolidation. Grids 6 & 7 feature questions in Italian such as mercoledì : l’altroieri? and students have to work out that they are seeking ±ô³Ü²Ô±ð»åì in the grid. Grids 8-10 feature English prompts, with students looking for the corresponding Italian word in the grid, and also writing the Italian word in the vocabulary list.

Each grid is in landscape format, and has an accompanying answer key so that students can check their own responses. There is an accompanying Italian-English vocabulary list which features all the vocabulary used in the word searches.

This kind of activity is really versatile, and useful in a range of learning contexts: starters, refreshers, finishers. fun-time fillers or sub / cover lessons at any time during the school year, as well as during the period where this is the current language focus. Students benefit from revisiting the word searches over several weeks until they are absolutely confident with the range of vocabulary.

The Lively Learning Classroom offers a wide range of Italian resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.
