Wordsearch Designer

The Focus Wordsearch Designer is
an effective way of reinforcing
technical vocabulary in D&T. Use
the wordsearches as extension
tasks, for revision or homework.

Teachers and students can design,
save, and print wordsearches from
within the app or solve them
on-screen.

Teacher created wordsearches can
be viewed and completed by all
students from within the main
index.
Student created wordsearches can
be saved, viewed and printed but
not added to the main index.

There is a default collection of wordsearches
covering most titles in the Focus D&T Resource Pack.
