Fun with vocab words

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

December

We created fun activities for December.
One of my favorite is a retro christmas tree. It is created with 5 craft sticks horizontal and one vertical, glue them together. I got scrapbook paper from Michael's and pre-cut strips. They picked out the 5 strips they wanted and glued them on. Lastly they got a gem (also from Michael's) and glued it on top with a string so it can hang on the Cristmas tree!
