Fun Vocabulary Lessons
When thinking of teaching vocabulary I think that the more a student is able to use motion or memory the better they will be at remembering what they have learned. Due to the fact that some students learn better visually or even when they are mobile. As a teacher I want to think outside of the box when it comes to teaching my students what they need to learn that is why it was so fun for me to look up different ways to teach vocabulary than the same old way of writing the spelling words so many times. Below I have found 5 different ways that teachers can choose to help students learn vocabulary. I think at the top of my list would defiantly be the sensory learning using other things such as what is showing with stamps and kinetic sand. But I also really like the fact of turning vocabulary into games such as the swat game and using scrabble and bingo. If students can relate the vocabulary words to something fun they remember then I feel they will be able to remember it for a while.

These are great ideas, Kim! Thanks for sharing. I really like the idea of getting kids up and moving during the swat the vocab activity. That's a great way to burn off extra energy and have fun while learning. The other ideas that you have included are perfect for tactical and visual learners. It really is important to get creative when teaching vocabulary. Otherwise, the students get bored and their ability to retain information diminishes.
