Hidden picture: guess the word on screen

The picture is there, but hidden. Tile by tile, or zooming out little by little, it is revealed: who recognises it first? The word appears, the voice says it if it is on, and on to the next picture.

Hidden picture on screen: a few tiles removed give a glimpse of an animal — The activity full screen, made in Lexikit with twelve animal words.

In 3 steps

Add your words: one picture is enough, a list makes a whole game.
Choose the reveal: by tiles, 9, 16 or 25, or by a zoom that pulls back.
Launch full screen: touch a tile, or “A bit more”, until someone finds it. “Show the answer” reveals it all.

What you can set

Reveal by tiles: 9, 16 or 25

The word shown when the picture is found, in capitals, print or cursive
Voice: Yes or No, your recording or Lexikit's voice

Ways to use it

A start-of-day routine that gets the whole class talking
Having the children form hypotheses: “it might be…”
Going over the words of a theme while having fun, in class or at home

Frequently asked questions

Who removes the tiles?

You, or a child who comes to the board: each touch removes a tile. Without a touch screen, “A bit more” removes one at random, and “Show the answer” shows the whole picture.

When does the word appear?

When the picture is fully revealed, or as soon as you touch “Show the answer” because a child has found it. The word is written under the picture, and the voice says it if it is on.
