Vocabulary Word Sentences

  • This activity utilizes the letters of a vocabulary word to construct a sentence. Write a vocabulary word on the board. Have the students use each letter as the beginning letter of words to create a sentence. For example, if the vocabulary word is "lions," the sentence could be, "Little iguanas only need sun." Encourage the students to develop creative sentences. They need not make sense, but they should maintain proper sentence structure. Take turns sharing the sentences. Repeat the activity with other vocabulary words.

Vocabulary Riddles

  • Riddles provide an entertaining way for students to identify vocabulary words. Use the definition of a vocabulary word to create a riddle. For example, a riddle for the word "umbrella" might go, "When the drops start to fall, I come in handy. My waterproof top is really quite dandy." Whether or not the riddles rhyme, use a playful tone to appeal to the students. Vocabulary riddles work as an oral activity for the class or as a written assignment in the form of a worksheet.
