Vocabulary Competition

The 5th graders have been busy learning new words everyday as part of their ongoing vocabulary study. But how do you make learning vocabulary even more exciting than it already is? Turn it into a competition, of course!

The class used Quizlet to make virtual flashcards and then spent some time independently studying. Then they broke into teams and competed to see who could score the most points. It was a great way to learn and have fun at the same time. They were later tested on these words and everyone did very well!
