Vocabulary+Activities

  Write each vocabulary word on a note card and place in a circle. Have a student stand behind each card. Model how to play the vocabulary game by saying the word on your card. Come up with a simple definition for the word on the card. Then come up with a move to represent the word on the card. Everyone repeats the word, the definition and the move. Repeat this process until every student has done their word. After every student has completed their word, have the students rotate around the circle. The students will then give the definition and move to their new word.

 Pick two students to sit in the front of the class facing the rest of the students. Choose one vocabulary word to write on the board behind the students. Divide the remaining students into two teams (one for each student at the front of the class). Each team takes turns giving a hint to the student in front so they can guess the word. Each team gets 4 chances to give short word clues (no more than three words). The first student to guess the word gets a point for their team. Repeat with different students and vocabulary words.

 Students write vocabulary words on a blank bingo sheet (five blocks by five blocks) make sure to include a bingo space in the center block. The teacher calls out the definition of a word and the students mark the corresponding word on their bingo sheet. The first student to get five horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins the game. Rotate the student made cards each time a student wins so that students use a different score sheet each time.
