 Roll a Word

Dice games help spice up vocabulary practice, something many kids find dull. Set a list of words, then give each kid a die to roll. Based on the number, they do one of the following for each word:

1: Give a definition
2: Give a synonym & antonym
3: Write a sentence
4: Draw a picture
5: Make a connection
6: Your choice
