Crumbling the message
Okay, I am not sure this activity packs any learning punch, but it’s kinda fun making and sending little Crumbles videos.
Simply type words or sentences into the Crumbles text box and they are converted into videos composed of one-word clips from movies and television. In addition to standard dictionary of videos that appear to be attached to specific words, you’ll find theme dictionaries featuring Homer Simpson and the Bee and Puppycat cartoon series (new to me).
When you have a Crumble you like, share it on Facebook or Twitter or share the link. I wish there were a bit more variety in the word options and more dictionaries, but this is a giffy fun kinda way to share a little message. Warning: It gets a bit addicting.
