Crazy and calm

Okay....the first is wild...and is really only good once in a while. Assign partners one word. On one piece of paper they write the vocab. word and on the other they write the definition. Then they crumple the papers up
into a ball. When everyone is done and you've been very specific about rules..you have a snowball fight with the papers. They don't hurt or break anything. After a minute or so, everyone gets one "snowball" and they have to find their partner.

The second is not a game but is a consistent activity in my room. We call it a four square. Divide a piece of paper into 4ths (sideways/hamburger)Put
a circle in the middle and write the vocab word. In the first box they write the definition, the second- use it in a sentence, 3- opposite or synonyms whatever you're focusing on, and 4th a picture. IF they can do all of these things, they really know the word.
