Eye Spy
- Give students a list of words and have them look for them in their reading.
Sorting Hat
- Yes- This is Harry Potter themed!!! Students will pick words from the "sorting hat" and classify words into categories.
Word Wheel
- Students will spin the wheel and follow the prompt given.
Paper Plate Vocabulary
-Students will cut the paper plate in two pieces (like a puzzle piece). One piece has the word and the other the definition. This is a great way for kids to have fun while learning vocab.
Vocabulary on the Move
- Students will have sentence stripes wrapped around their heads like a crown. The students don't know what word he/she has. They will walk around the classroom asking each other for clues to determine the meaning of their word.
These are all great ways to keep your students engaged in learning!
I love the sorting hat idea! This would be so fun with upper elementary students who have read the Harry Potter series, it could easily turn into a theme day or theme week! I also like the idea of Vocabulary on the Move, any opportunity to get students out of their seat will increase engagement and learning.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we all liked the idea of the word wheel. I think it would be a fun yet simple game to set up and play. It would be a great tool to easily pull out when you need it.
