- Students work in groups to match definitions with vocabulary words.
Steps: 1. Post an envelope with each vocabulary word written on it. 2. Group students, numbering students in the groups and assigning each group a color. 3. Place a set of definition cards printed on the group’s assigned color face down in the middle of each group. 4. Have student #1 draw the first definition from the stack and read the definition to the group. Group members decide in which envelope to place the definition in. Student #1 places the definition in the envelope. Game proceeds with student #2. Then student #3...and so on. 5. Tally each group’s points based on the number of definitions correctly placed. | Differentiation: • Strategically pair students for peer support. • Provide illustrations to match definitions. Variations: • Have groups write a sentence using the word before adding the definition to the envelope. Envelope/ Definition Relay |
