MaterialsContraction Connection game board (Activity Master V.002.AM1) Contraction word cards (Activity Master V.002.AM2) Student sheet (Activity Master V.002.SS) Pencils

ActivityStudents match words to contractions on a game board.1. Place the Contraction Connection game board at the center. Scatter contraction word

cards with the contractions face down on a flat surface (e.g., “you’re” facing down, “you are” facing up). Provide each student with a student sheet.

2. Taking turns, student one selects a word card, reads the words ( e.g., “you are”), looks at the board, finds the matching contraction (i.e., you’re), and covers it with the word card. Student two turns the word card over to the contraction side and reads it.

3. If correct, each stuednt writes the words and the contraction on the student sheet. If incorrect, return word card to its original position.

Extensions and AdaptationsUse cards to play a homophone memory game.

Objective The student will identify homophones.

MaterialsHomophone word cards (Activity Master V.005.AM1a - V.005.AM1f)

ActivityStudents match homophones while playing a “Go Fish” game. 1. Place the homophone word cards face down in a stack at the center. 2. Student one gives seven cards to each player and places the remaining cards face down in

a stack.3. Students check their cards for matching homophones, read them, and place the

matching sets down. 4. Taking turns, student one asks for a specific homophone for one of the cards he is

holding (e.g., “Do you have a card that says “eight?”)5. If yes, the card is given to student one who reads each homophone. Holds each card up

separately and uses in a sentence (i.e., “Ate, I ate all my pizza. Eight, eight is an even number”). Takes another turn. If no, student two says, “Go Fish.” Student one selects the top card from the stack.

6. Reverse roles and continue until all cards are matched.7. Peer evaluation

ObjectiveThe student will identify the meaning of prefixes.

MaterialsPrefix-O game boards (Activity Master V.011.AM1a - V.011.AM1b)Meaning word cards (Activity Master V.011.AM2a - V.011.AM2c)Note: prefixes used are un = not, re = again, dis = opposite, and pre = before.Game pieces (e.g., counters)

ActivityStudents match words with prefixes to their meanings while playing a Bingo-type game.1 Place the meaning word cards face down in a stack. Provide each student with a different

Prefix-O game board and game pieces.2. Taking turns, student one selects the top card from the stack and reads the phrase (e.g., “heat before”).3. Each student looks for a word on his Prefix-O game board that corresponds to the phrase

(i.e., preheat)4. If found, places one game piece on that word. 5. Student one places meaning word card in a discard pile. 6. Continue until one student covers his game board and says, “Prefix-O!”7. Peer evaluation

Extensions and AdaptationsMake and use other bingo game boards (Activity Master V.011.AM3) and meaning word cards (Activity Master V.009.AM3).

played using a ball”).4. Writes the two similar words in the boxes on the student sheet (e.g., soccer/football) and

writes the shared attribute beside the words (e.g., ball or games played with a ball.).5. Continues until student sheet is complete.6. Teacher evaluation

Extensions and AdaptationsWrite the word that is different on the back of the student sheet along with a word that shares a similar attribute.

ActivityStudents compare and contrast words using a Venn Diagram.1. Place vocabulary word cards and books at the center. Provide the student with a

student sheet.2. The student reads the words and writes them in each of the boxes on the student sheet.3. Writes attributes that are shared by both words in the overlapping area of the circles on

the Venn Diagram. Writes attributes which are unique to just one of the topics in the corresponding circle. Uses books if necessary.

4. Continues until there are at least three attributes in each of the three sections of the Venn Diagram.

ObjectiveThe student will identify similarities and differences between the meanings of words.

MaterialsInformation books about a content topicStudent sheet (Activity Master V.022.SS1)Pencil

ActivityStudents identify the features that distinguish one word from another by completing a semantic feature analysis grid. 1. Place books at the center. Provide the student with a student sheet.2. The student says the name of the first picture in the left column (i.e., “cat”) and reads

the words across the top row (attributes). Places a check in each attribute box that applies to the word (i.e., cat: fur, tail eyes). Use books if necessary.

3. Continues down the grid until all categories and attributes are compared and student sheet is complete.

4. Teacher evaluation

Extensions and AdaptationsMake a large floor graph using masking tape as lines to compare distinguishing features (attributes) of objects (e.g., mittens, shoes, buttons, or toys).Make and use a semantic feature analysis grid for other words (Activity Master V.022.SS2).

Objective The student will identify antonyms in context.

MaterialsSentence strips (Activity Master V.023.AM1a - V.023.AM1b) Copy on card stock, laminate, and cut apart. Antonym word cards (Activity Master V.023.AM1b) Copy on card stock, laminate, and cut apart.

ActivityStudents exchange antonyms for the underlined word in sentences. 1. Place sentence strips face down in a stack and antonym word cards face up in rows on a

flat surface. 2. Working in pairs, student one selects a sentence, reads it, and repeats the underlined word

(e.g., “It is cold outside today. Cold”).3. Student two reads the word cards, finds the antonym for the underlined word, places it

over the underlined word, and reads the new sentence (i.e., “It is hot outside today”). 4. Reverse roles and continue until all the antonyms are correctly matched to sentences. 5. Peer evaluation

Extensions and AdaptationsUse synonyms to change words in sentences (Activity Master V.023.AM2).Make other sentences, antonym, and synonym word cards.

Objective The student will identify the meaning of words in context.

Materials Sentence strips Write sentences using selected target vocabulary with one word missing. For example, Mary brushed her ____ before she went to bed. Index cards or construction paper rectanglesWrite the missing words from the sentences on the cards.

ActivityStudents choose words to complete sentences. 1. Place sentence strips face down in a stack and index cards face up in rows on a flat surface. 2. Taking turns, student one selects a sentence, and reads it saying “blank” for the missing word. 3. Student two reads the index cards, finds the missing word, places it over the blank, and reads

the sentence. 4. Reverse roles and continue until all the words are correctly matched to sentences. 5. Peer evaluation

Extensions and Adaptations Make other word cards that complete the sentences. For example, The big red car went down the road.Use other sentence (Activity Master V.024.AM1a- V.024.AM1b) and word cards (Activity Master V.024.AM2).

ObjectiveThe student will identify the meaning of words in context.

MaterialsSentence cards (Activity Master V.025.AM1a - V.025.AM1b) If words in this activity are not appropriate for your students, make and use sentence cards that are more applicable. Note: The first underlined word is the target word and the second underlined word is the answer.

ActivityStudents identify the meaning of target words by using the context of the sentence. 1. Place sentence cards face down in a stack at the center.2. Working in pairs, student one selects the top card from the stack and reads the sentence to

student two without showing the card (e.g., “The cloud was so enormous it seemed to cover the whole sky. Was it huge or little?”).

3. Student two states the answer (i.e., “it was huge”). Student one checks to see if the answer is correct by looking at the second underlined word or phrase.

4. If correct, student one gives the card to student two. If incorrect, student one states the correct answer, shows the card to student two, and places it at the bottom of the stack.

5. Reverse roles and continue until all cards are read.6. Peer evaluation

“The cloud was so enormous that it seemed to cover the whole sky. Was the cloud huge or little?”

The cloud was so enormous it seemed to cover the

whole sky.

Was the cloud huge or little?
