Vocabulary Review

This year all of the 5th grade Talent and Development Program students (students who test above the 91%ile) from my district participated in the Disney Planet Challenge. This year we focused on the topic of health and created a variety of activities that ranged from research and presentations to field trips and school wide projects. One way we rolled out the vocabulary to the group was by using the idea of a headbands game. The words were brainstormed by students, then the teachers made them into cards to place on headbands. The students then needed to describe the word to the student wearing the word on their headband without giving it away. Then once the student guessed the word being described, they received another card. The student with the most correct words was named the winner!
