You need to be a full member of Teachit Primary to use our interactive resources. Interactive whiteboard resources – Magnet Fun, flexible fridge magnets > Launch Magnet [Members only] You can use our onscreen Magnets just like the ones on your fridge door - move them around, play with letters and words, or sort them into different groups. But being digital, our magnets can also be edited, coloured, stacked, and even flipped - again and again ... ! Our classroom-ready activities will show you some of the possibilities - and in no time at all you'll be making your own. Magnet tiles can have just a single letter, or a word, or a whole phrase - it's up to you. Magnet basics Drag the tiles to move them around the screen. Magnet tiles are ... magnetic! To join them together, simply move them side by side. To separate them, drag them apart again. There's a tool bar at the bottom of the screen. It's hidden from view most of the time, but click on the SHOW tab at the bottom right and it'll pop up!
