I use worldly wise for vocabulary and I put the sets on quizlet. My kids love playing quizlet live and they’re all in competition with each other on the match game.

Same: Quizlet!!

I have the kids create a Google Slide for each word. It can only contain 1 picture that represents the definition of the word. They quiz their partners to see if they can figure out which word is being represented. I also have them write sentences using the word. The sentence must also contain a context clue. I then create a Kahoot using their sentences and omit the vocabulary word from the sentence. If I use their sentence, it’s extra credit to them.

I used to have a teacher who divided our class into teams, gave each team 2 vocabulary words to act out (there was a time limit to how long we had to come up with our skit and for how long the skit could be), and the other teams had to guess the meaning. The first team to guess correctly got points. We started each week this way. At the end of the quarter there was some kind of prize for the team with the most points and the points reset/the teams were regrouped for the next quarter.

It's exhausting... Thoughts?
