Rock and Roll Vocabulary

Each reading cycle, the students are introduced to a set of 8 new vocabulary words.  On the 5th day of the cycle, they are tested on the vocabulary in a variety of ways, including fill-in-the-blank sentences and multiple choice.  In preparation, we've been playing Vocabulary Rock and Roll created by Mrs. Bainbridge and shared on Teacher's Notebook.  You can click on the picture above to make your own copy or click here.   
 Each team of four students is given a gameboard, a die, and a set of vocabulary cards. 
A student chooses a card, then rolls the die and completes the related activity on the game board. 
 
Since we began playing this game, vocabulary scores have improved for most of my students.
