Type what each pin marks
Numbered pins on the picture and a blank for each. A word bank keeps spelling from being the test.
When to use it
The end of a history or science topic, when you want pupils to produce the term rather than recognise it. A trainee naming the parts of a machine before they're let near it. A map lesson where the class writes each place name from memory.
What makes it this
Built on the Label this image generator with these changed. Everything else is the default.
- Word bank
Players pick from the full list of answers instead of typing them blind.
In the builder: How it plays
- Word bank as a dropdown Off
Every answer box becomes a select list. Switch it off and players type freely, with the bank a click away.

Type what each numbered spot is. Nothing is marked wrong while you are still typing — an answer is only judged once you leave the blank — and the button at the end of a blank opens the list of names you have not used yet.

Why the example is built this way
-
Only parts with one name.
A typed answer has to match the name you wrote, give or take capitals and spaces, and there are no alternative spellings. Leave out any part that half the class would call something else.
-
The word bank is a button, not a dropdown.
Word bank as a dropdown is on by default for this type. Turn it off and players still type, with a button at the end of each blank that opens the names not yet used.
-
Numbered in reading order.
Players read the numbers top row first, left to right. Once the pins are placed, use Renumber by position so the blanks follow the picture rather than the order you clicked.
