Vocabulary Recognition Games
BANG!
Decorate a coffee can or shoe box. Write vocabulary words on
small cards. On several cards, write “BANG!” Place all the cards in
the can. Draw a card and say the word. IF you recognize the word,
keep the card. Any words you do not know go back into the can. If
you draw a “BANG”, all the cards go back into the can and you
begin again.
FISHING FUN
Trace and cut fish from constructions paper. Write a vocabulary
word on the fish (or index card) and attach a paper clip. Make a
fishing pole with a magnet attached to the end. Catch a fish and
say the word. The “fish” goes back in the pond if you do not know
the word.
