Good for

Vocabulary retrieval where you want distractors that catch near-misses.

How to set it up

  1. 1In the lesson editor, choose Add slide and pick Interactive activity, then choose Keyword match.
  2. 2Add each keyword with its definition.
  3. 3Add a few wrong definitions as distractors, if you want them.
  4. 4Preview it as a pupil, then run the Readiness check before you launch: it flags anything still missing.

Tips from the classroom

  • Write distractors that are nearly right: they catch the pupils who half-know it.
  • On the evidence sheet the distractors are left off, so the printed list is the keywords' own definitions.
