This is a compila6on of reading vocabulary used in 4th-‐6th grade. 2 different games of 28 cards each is included in each of the I have; You Have Games. Borders are different so you can see which game each of the cards belongs to. .
I have also included a variety of other vocabulary ac6vi6es you can use to help your students learn and use these words
1. Hangman 2. Concentration/Memory 3. Word find 4. Crossword Puzzle 5. Pictionary 6. Charades 7. Modified Catch Phrase…Write each vocabulary word on an individual index card. Students sit in a circle
with a timer set for a random amount of time (3-8 minutes works well). Shuffle the cards and give the deck to the first person in the circle. That person draws a card and tries to get his classmates to guess the word by giving verbal clues. He cannot say the word or any part of the word. When someone guesses the word, he passes the stack to the next person who takes a turn with another word. The person holding the stack of cards when the timer goes off loses.
8. Back words…Create enough sheets of paper with a vocabulary word on each for every member of the classroom. Tape them to the backs of all of your students. The students must go around the room asking only yes or no questions to determine what their words are. At the end of the activity have everyone sit back at their desks and guess their words. You can discuss how each student came to find his word as additional practice.
9. Password…Divide your classroom into two teams and prepare a stack of index cards with vocabulary words on them. Each team sends one member to the front of the classroom. A member of one team takes an index card and attempt to get his teammate to guess by giving one-word synonyms of the vocabulary word. The other team does the same and the first team to guess their vocabulary word correctly gets a point. The team with the most points at the end wins.
10. Vocabulary Bingo…Provide students with a blank bingo card, with a five-square by five-square grid. Ask each student to fill in the spaces with vocabulary words he has recently studied (from a provided list of 25 or more words). Once each student has a prepared game card, the teacher calls out a definition of one of the words. Students mark the corresponding word on their bingo card or place a square of colored paper on it. When one player has a row of five words down or across, she calls out, "Bingo."

Directions: �Whole Class Game: 1.Distribute one card to each student, then distribute the extras to strong students in the beginning and to random students as the class becomes more familiar with the deck. 2. As you distribute the cards, encourage students to begin thinking about what the quesHon for their card might be so that they are prepared to answer. When all cards are distributed, select the student with the starter card to begin. Play conHnues unHl the game loops back to the original card or ends with the "end" card. That student answers and then says "the end" to signal the end of the game. 3. Aqer the class is comfortable with this game format, consider using a stopwatch to Hme the class game. Record the Hme on the board so that students try each game to beat their current best Hme. 4. Discourage students from calling out answers by adding 5 seconds onto the class Hme whenever you hear an answer from someone who does not hold the card.
Partner or Small-‐Group Play: 1. One student deals out the cards to all players. 2. Players arrange the cards face-‐up in front of them. 3. Play begins with the any card. 4. Play conHnues as in the class game. Whoever has the card that answers the quesHon reads that answer and then reads the quesHon on that card. 5. Students turn over the cards aqer reading them. 6. The first person to turn over all his/her cards, wins the game 7. Shuffle the cards and repeat the game.
