Why Use the Choice Board Generator?
Meaningful Student Agency
Students are more engaged when they have a say in how they learn. This student agency board creator allows you to provide that freedom within a structured framework. By offering options that tap into different interests and learning styles—from writing a song to building a model—you increase motivation and ownership over the learning process.
Instant Differentiation (UDL)
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) encourages multiple means of engagement and expression. This UDL choice board generator does the heavy lifting for you, automatically generating activities that cater to diverse learners. You can easily create a board where every row or diagonal offers a mix of low-floor, high-ceiling tasks, ensuring every student can find an access point.
Versatile Application
Use it for anything. A tic-tac-toe menu maker is perfect for weekly homework (pick 3 in a row), early finisher activities, or end-of-unit assessments. It replaces the "one size fits all" assignment with a dynamic menu that keeps the classroom fresh and exciting without requiring you to prep materials for nine separate lessons.
Save Planning Time
Brainstorming nine unique, high-quality activities takes hours. This learning menu builder for teachers does it in seconds. It ensures that the activities are not just "busy work" but meaningful tasks that reinforce the core content, giving you a week's worth of independent work activities in one click.

What Teachers Are Saying About Choice Board Generator
“My students love the Choice Board Generator menus. I used to spend all Sunday thinking of 'fun' activities. Now I just type in 'Ancient Egypt' and get amazing ideas like 'design a sarcophagus' or 'write a diary entry for a pharaoh'.”
“This is the best tic-tac-toe menu maker I've found. The activities are actually educational, not just fluff. I use it for homework every week, and the completion rate has gone way up.”
“As a Gifted teacher, the extension activity board maker is a lifesaver. I can instantly generate higher-level thinking tasks for my kids who fly through the regular curriculum.”
“I love the UDL choice board generator aspect. It reminds me to include options for my visual and kinesthetic learners that I might otherwise forget. It makes my classroom much more inclusive.”
“The choice board maker for middle school helps me manage projects. I let them pick their final product from the board. It gives them ownership, and I don't have to grade 150 of the exact same poster.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Choice Board Generator?expand_more
The Choice Board Generator is a planning tool in TeachQuill that creates activity menus (often called choice boards or learning menus). It uses AI to brainstorm and format a set of varied learning tasks centered around a specific topic, giving students options in how they complete their work.
How does the Choice Board Generator work?expand_more
You input your topic (e.g., "The Solar System") and preferred format (e.g., "Tic-Tac-Toe" 3x3 grid). The choice board creator generates unique activities for each square—such as writing a poem about Mars, drawing the planets, or researching a moon—and organizes them into a clear, usable grid.
Why use a Choice Board Generator for my class?expand_more
It promotes student agency and differentiation. By allowing students to choose tasks that align with their strengths and interests, you increase engagement and reduce resistance to work. It effectively meets the needs of diverse learners without requiring you to create individual lesson plans for each student.
Can I use it for any subject?expand_more
Yes. The science choice board generator and math choice board creator functions are just as robust as those for reading or social studies. The AI adapts the types of activities to fit the discipline, ensuring relevance and rigor.
Is it suitable for remote learning?expand_more
Absolutely. A digital choice board for teachers is an excellent way to structure remote or asynchronous learning days. It gives students a clear menu of work to complete at their own pace, with options that can often be done with materials found at home.
How do I grade these varied activities?expand_more
The best approach is to use a universal rubric (which you can create with our Rubric Generator) that assesses the underlying skill or content mastery, rather than the format of the product. This ensures fair grading regardless of which option the student chose.
Is the content customizable?expand_more
Yes. Once the learning menu builder for teachers generates the board, you can edit any of the squares to better fit your specific resources or class rules before finalizing the document.
