I'm taking a vocabulary class this semester and thought I'd share some of the ideas that we've been discussing:
Charades: kids take turns acting out the words. This would be fun to create a game out of it!
Groupings: Create flashcards with various vocabulary words on them. Then create category names to combine these cards into. For example if you were teaching history, your flashcards could be concepts from WWI or WWII. The students would then categorize the words based on the correct time frame. This could easily be done in partners as well. Very easy to differentiate! To challenge the students with high ability, have them decide what the 2 categories should be.
Bingo: Give the students a list of vocab words to write on their empty vocab sheets. Then, play BINGO either by giving the definition, giving an example or using the word in a sentence but leaving a blank in place of the word (Cloze activity).
