From Jessica Harris:

“My students created flashcards for science vocabulary and content and put 2-3 definitions or statements on each flashcard. I do a myriad of different activities with reviewing the cards to keep the students on their toes. Today each student was given 10 snap cubes (for 10 flashcards) and paired with a partner. When a student determined that the partner mastered a flash- card, the partner earned a snap cube. The goal was to earn all 10 snap cubes. Later, the students exchanged the snap cubes for small prizes. Vocabulary Building Card Games From Margie Latall, a substitute teacher in West Bend, Wisconsin I recently discovered a series of books by Scholastic, Vocabulary Building Card Games! There are different grade levels, and the game cards are reproducible, making it easy for teachers to use immediately. The book I have from the library is for Grade 3, written by Liane B. Onish, and it is a 2008 copyright. My local library also had Grade 2 and 5 available. Check it out!” National Education Association http://www.nea.org/tools/31978.htm
