Spiral games
 
Hi,
I would like to create  spiral games (like the ones you can see in this  printable: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=192340#thetop ), but I don �t know how.
Can you help me?
Thank you.

Not sure how the original one was done and maybe they have some simple ingenious way of doing it.  I have downloaded the worksheet and each spiral is a picture, so if I was making this I would use PowerPoint.  Make a series of concentric circles as a guide in the slide master - this would then be in the background of the actual slide.
 
Then use text box to create a single letter and then copy and paste the letter around the circles joining them together to make a spiral.  When finished, destroy the slide master and you are left just with the letters and no circles.
 
Press print screen and then edit the size you want in paint, save the spiral as a .gif or .jpg to reduce the size and the insert it into a Word Document.
 
Would take a bit of work, but once you had all the boxes in place, you can easily substitute each letter for a new one and make a new spiral.  That �s the way I �d do it.  If anyone has any easier I would be interested to know.
