Wordle

 Wordle is a tool that lets users create word clouds using the text they provide. A fun activity to use at the beginning of the year is to let the students type words that describe their personality, hobbies and interests they have, family members' names, and "favorites." The words are then pasted into a type box and with one click, all the words are scrambled into a word mosaic. The students can then share with classmates and get to know each other.
