new Word Snap
This file is intended for group or whole-class use on an interactive whiteboard. It displays a pair of words each time you press the F9 key.
You select a set of 12 words to play "snap" with. You can save sets of words within the file.



The following are all MS Publisher files which use the master page as a stable background over which components such as initial letters or arrows can be dragged.
DO NOT save them when you close them, otherwise you will have to undo what has been done to them!
