New and improved bells and whistles version
- Printable / saveable gapfill exercise generator for teachers
- Interactive gapfill tester for students (see 'Making an instant exercise')
New! Doc-friendly option - You can now make a more doc-friendly worksheet for copying and pasting into Word etc. This has a very basic layout and will be easier to alter in your word processor.
New! Quick Gapmaker - You can now make gaps quickly by simply clicking on the appropriate words in the Gapmaker.
For teachers
With this generator you can make printable gapfill exercises with a variety of ways of showing the gapped words, or not showing them at all (for example for a listening).
You can choose which words to gap, doing it manually. This will be even quicker if you use the integrated Quick Gapmaker (see below)
Or for an instant exercise, you can use either the Random gap maker or the Auto gap maker. This takes away selected groups of words, for example: articles.
You can also print a teacher copy with answers.
Probably the best way to see how everything works is to play around with the examples and all the options for a few minutes.
For students - Making an instant exercise
Any piece of text can instantly become an interactive gapfill exercise. Just copy and paste the text into the box, click on 'Quick Random Gaps' or use the automatic gap maker to remove prepositions etc, select a suitable 'Gap word option' and 'Interactive Web page'
For interactive exercises you can use the following options: Show words, No show and Anagrams. Or you can choose one of the other options and print it out. Click and Drop - In the Show words option, you can click on the words in the box and then on a suitable gap.
How to use - mouse over the ? signs and for more details.
1. To make gaps manually, surround each word to be gapped with square brackets
- bla bla bla [gapword] bla bla bla
To speed this up you can use the Gapmaker. Click on 'Gapmaker Show'
Make auto gaps - Enter a text - Enter any words you would like gapped, separated by a comma (no space) into the box below. Or use the selector to automatically enter sets: articles, prepositions etc, to be gapped. Then click on 'Make gaps'
For an exercise on articles, you can use the preselector to gap existing articles, and the Quick Gapmaker to add zero articles.
When you open this it will have transferred the text from the box above and the first button will have been selected. This makes standard one word gaps.
When you click on a word in the bottom box, square brackets will be added to the appropriate word in the top box. You can 'ungap' any word by clicking on it again. If you add a new text to the top box, click on 'Transfer' to transfer it from the box.
To include two or more words in one gap, use the first button to gap the first word as usual. Then use the second button to add the next word(s)
For other sorts of gaps select an appropriate action button. (Mouse over the buttons to see what they do).
You can treat the gapped words so they they appear differently in the top box, but still show correctly in the answers. This is good for transformation exercises - look at the examples to see what happens.
This should be done after you have made the gaps.
| To make something Bold | Surround it with these opening and closing tags - <b>word</b> |
| To make something Italic | Surround it with these opening and closing tags - <i>word</i> |
| To Underline something | Surround it with these opening and closing tags - <u>word</u> |
Note - This can be done more quickly with the Gapmaker
6. Select gap word option Show details Use the selector above to select what to do with the gap words:
| Show words | Shows the missing words in a box at the top |
| No show | Doesn't show the words at all - suitable for listenings etc |
| First letter | Shows only the first letter of the word |
| Dashes | Replaces the letters with dashes |
| Combo | Shows the first letter plus dashes |
| No vowels | Removes all vowels (+ y) |
| No consonants | Removes all consonants (except y) |
| Anagrams | Shows an anagram after the gap |
| In line | Shows only the base word (see 4. treating gap words, above) |
