🖍️ Giant Word Search
Project this worksheet onto your whiteboard during your social studies lessons, and have students take turns walking up to the board to circle the words.
🧢 Charades
Write each word on a piece of scrap paper, fold them up, and put them into a container. To play, divide your class or small group into two teams. Teams will take turns sending up one student to choose a word from the bowl and get 30 seconds to act out the word soundlessly for their team. If no one guesses the word, it goes back into the bowl, and no point is given. Once every student has had their turn to act out a word, the game is over, and the group with the highest points wins.
✏️ Sentence Writing
Have students practice writing full sentences with words from the list. As a challenge, see how many sentences they can write that use more than one of the words.
