I try to do several fun things to learn words. We have an indoor snowball fight...
We salad our words, using the big spoons to find a word in (paper) salad...
We fish for our word. This has a magnet at the end of a fish pole, the vocab word has a magnet on it so it gets picked up...
A grant helped us get magnet words that they make words on my file cabinet...
Lastly is wiki stix that can make words
