Vocabulary Drill & Test Review: Good for any topic where you have lots of vocab words:
Generate a huge list of terms, like over 50 if possible.
Write them down (probably easier to photocopy it or make an overhead) for all the kids to see.
Make a grid of 25 squares (5x5), each about 1 inch, and photocopy it so that each kid gets a copy.
Then tell them to pick 25 of the vocab words-- any ones they want-- and put one word in each square.
Then, read definitions, one at a time (keep track of the words you are defining) out loud.
Have the kids X off the box that contains the word you are defining. They'll have to know the definition to X it off, plus they may or may not have the word on their grid!
First to get 5 in a row wins!
You'll want to verify that their words were indeed defined before declaring a winner.
Good for practice before a quiz.
