Vocabulary Question Trail Post questions around the room asking students to infer the definition of vocabulary words. Each answer will send them to the next, if they get them all right they will get to each question, if they get one wrong they will end up back at that one and have to try again. This is a good bodily-kinesthetic way of learning vocabulary words.
Dice Game Put students in groups. Give them a stack of index cards containing each vocabulary word. Have them take turns rolling the die, and then choosing a card. Depending on what number they roll they can define the word, use it in a sentence, act it out,   Draw it, give a synonym or give an antonym.

Give students pockets and root word pencils to cut out and construction paper to glue them to. Have them glue left, right and bottom edges of pockets down leaving the top open for pocket.

Create flip books using multiple strips of paper of the same length and one longer. Staple them together. On the longer strip have the students write the prefix and on the shorter strips write the root words. These can be used for practice daily.

Write each letter the students are learning on small cards and bury them in a small sandbox. Tell them they are detectives looking for evidence. Give them the sandbox, an “evidence box” showing each letter they’re looking for, a magnifying glass, and optional tweezers for younger students to develop fine motor skills. Have them hunt for these letters and say the sounds aloud as they pull them out and place them in the evidence box.
Write each letter on a colored circle and lay them out to resemble a game board. Starting in front of the letter A, have the student roll a die and that’s how many spaces they move. Have them say aloud the sound of the letter they land on.
