Our math coach developed a vocabulary bingo game using the promethean board. She had three separate boards one for third grade, one for fourth grade, and one for fifth grade. I thought this was a very effective way of reviewing vocabulary with students. The boards were made in response to our state testing coming up next week and the need for students to be familiar with common math vocabulary (i.e. congruent, symmetry, etc.). The kids love to play and win for prizes.

I'm glad to hear you liked using Quizlet! There are so many flashcards already loaded and I like the fact that you can create a group students can belong to so everyone can contribute flashcard sets. My hope is that the Flashcardlet app will one day have the same quiz games!

Yes! Spelling city would a great start for vocabulary building! I recommended my parents to use it at home and a lot of them ended up subscribing for it because their family really enjoyed it!

If you want another hands on idea, we place a sheet of paper tallways, then fold the left side over like a flap. We only fold it about 1/3 of the way, then cut this into 4 or 5 tabs. On each tab we write the word, under the tab we write the def., and in the 1/3 of a paper that is still showing to the right, we draw an illustration. This has been especially useful in geometry units.

<p>I have used <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://quizlet.com/">Quizlet</a> once just a couple of weeks ago in my 12th grade economics class and was so impressed! I created a econ quiz from the chapter vocabulary and Quizlet had the book definitions already loaded! It was super easy and accurate. It has a few learning games that it makes the selected words before the students test.</p>

<p>I teach 2nd graders this year. I have had a lot of success this year with vocabulary in my classroom by creating a vocabulary game using Google presentations. I reveal picture and word clues one at a time while students volunteer guesses. I never say they are right or wrong; I just say, "maybe." We play the game at least 2 days in a row. Even though my class is over 1/2 ELLs, they are making 100% on their vocabulary tests! I have posted examples and links to these slides on this…</p>
