Sometimes we play this game for the words during snack where someone does the motion and people guess what the word is that goes with that motion. The student doing it for the class calls on a person who knows the answer. This game is really fun. We get to play it a lot.
If you want to see some of the words, watch my video. There will be two people in the video with me. We are going to say the word and do the motion. We're going to say the word first and then do the motion and describe the word. So please watch the video :)!
Note from the teachers: in the video above, Arabella, Allie, and Alex demonstrate the motions for some of our vocabulary words.
Arabella,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of matching hand motions with words! So smart to help you remember their meanings! I used to have my students draw pictures and act out skits to remember words.
I notice on the paper with the word on it, synonyms for the word are in the corners. Did you think of those, find them in a book, or did Mrs. Mills write them?
I wish I could be there to play vocabulary charades with you! Really good words are among my favorite things in the world :)
Your video is COAXING me to want to visit!
Coreen :)
