Vocab Review Game Template | Make it FUN!
By That German English Teacher
I needed a fun way to review vocabulary with my students. So I came up with this fun game called "What's the Word".
Students get an example sentence and then identify the part of speech as well as a good synonym for the vocabulary word.
Have them get out of their seats and go to the pink, green, or blue corner of the room. Or get out sticky notes, dry-erase boards, or anything else you might want to use.
Make this template your own and review vocabulary, sentence structures, interpunctuation, or other parts of the language.
Or turn it around and use it for some SEL building. Put questions of interest and let students use the majority vote on what they like best, then let them explain why! There are ENDLESS options!
