Scrabble Battle!
This game is a favorite with the students. I show images on the screen. The students must spell words associated with the images. Scrabble rules apply.
Vocabulary review game
As students read essays and short stories, they keep track of unfamiliar words. They create task cards for these words and definitions. We gather all the task cards and share them. This game has similar rules to Scattergories and Charades.

Poetry With Friends
Many students are intimidated by poetry. So to reduce their fear, I have them work in groups to create a poem from a given list of words. This is also a great vocabulary activity because the list includes many words that they may not have encountered before. Once their rough draft is complete, they cut and paste their poem (ransom-note style) onto card stock.
