Students will need 24 words, so it is a good game to play at the end of the unit to review. You can also mix math, science, and ELA words for a review of multiple subjects! Students will write a different word in each box. They decide which words and what order to write them in so that every board is a little different. When you are ready to play, give students a definition. Students determine the word. If they have that word on their board, they can cover it or color it. The first person to get five in a row is the winner.
To play this game, you will need cards with vocabulary words and cards with their meanings. You can make them with index cards or you can use the free editable card template that I have provided.
Students shuffle up the cards and place them face down in an array. Students take turns flipping two cards. Play continues until all of the cards are gone. For this game, you can use the word cards from the memory game or you can write words on popsicle sticks. You will also want some of the free pop cards or write pop on several sticks.
Put the cards or sticks into a container. Students take turns pulling one card or stick out of the container. If they pull a word card, they must give the definition. You can change this up a bit by requiring them to give a synonym and antonym if you prefer.
If they answer correctly, they keep the card. If they are wrong, it goes back in the container. And if they draw a pop, they must put all of their cards back in the container. When the time is up, the winner is the person with the most cards. This game is perfect for a small group or center. You will need word cards. Students will take turns putting a word card on their headband so that they cannot see it but the other players can.
The student will ask yes or no questions of the other group members until they can correctly guess the word. Once a student guesses their word, the next player takes a turn. You can also use the timer that comes with the game to keep things moving.
This is a good whole group game, but you can have students working in teams. You will need to use word cards again and you will be taping them, face down, onto your board so that the whole class can see the blank back of the card. You will add the category and point cards that I have provided for you. The first team will choose a category and a point amount. Flip that card over and give that team seconds to answer. So if they choose Synonyms for three points, they need to give a synonym for the vocabulary word.
If they are correct, their team gets the three-point. I usually just keep score on the board. If they are not correct, put the card back so that another team can try it. Once all of the cards have been completed, the team with the most points is the winning team. Be sure to put the toughest words in the five-point row! For this game, you will need a small ball and a trash can. I also put a piece of masking tape on the floor to show students where to stand when they throw.
The teacher will need a list of vocabulary words. I like to do boys versus girls- so I have them line up boy, girl, boy, girl, etc. But you can do different teams if you want.
Have students get in a line starting at the tape. Ask the first person a question. You can just give them a word and ask for a definition or a synonym or to use it in a sentence. You can even use questions from assessments. If the student gets the question right, they get a point for their team and they get the chance to throw the ball. If they make the basket, they get a bonus point for their team.
But, if they are not correct, the question goes to the next person in line. At the end of the allotted time, the team with the most points is the winner. This is so simple to implement because you are using simple games that students already know how to play.
It is ok if the games seem childish for your grade level. The kids love playing them anyway! You will also need word cards. The game is played according to the rules. The only change is that before a player can take their turn on the game board, they must flip over a word card and correctly define it.
We like to play on the floor! Shuffle these up. You want them all mixed up. They can be scattered around, but they need to be face down. Put those in a stack. The teacher keeps those. Give the students some think time about 8 seconds to talk as a team about what word they think it is. I ring a bell when time is up, but you can signal it any way you want.
I like having multiple sets of the words so more than one team can get it. In the directions, I said to have one of these for each team or fewer. Have them put the cards back in the pile if you have more than one clue for each vocabulary word or if you want students to think that the word might be called again. I love this game because it moves quickly.
I also love that the students are working cooperatively in groups. If you like quiet, this is not the game for you! Using a browser, play with 2 pages of Vocabulary for free.
