Find and Create Playlists in Flocabulary

Introduction 

Flocabulary Playlists give teachers the ability to curate a unit of Flocabulary lessons in a playlist format for a variety of classroom settings. Teachers can curate their own playlists or choose from a selection of content team created playlists. Teachers with a Flocabulary Plus license can also generate playlists through our AI-Powered playlist feature. 

With playlists, teachers can:

• Quickly curate an entire unit’s worth of Flocabulary lessons at once, making planning a breeze!
• Play Flocabulary videos back-to-back in our new video player
