Use Hot Potatoes software to create tailor-made online activities for your students!

There are different “potatoes” that let you build the following types of interactive exercises for your students:

• multiple-choice
• short-answer
• jumbled-sentence
• crossword matching/ordering
• fill-in-the-blank

Once you learn how to use one “potato”, you can pretty much use them all! And Hot Potatoes is free for teachers!

Hot Potatoes exercises are very flexible, and teachers can build activities that are fun and challenging for both elementary and secondary students
