Here is a fun activity to get students to stop using boring words and expand their vocabulary. This synonym activity has students write a "boring word" onto an ice cream cone and then synonyms are written on the ice cream scoops.
Why not have each student be responsible for a different word and then put them on a wall for a great wall display. Below is a template for the ice cream cones. Just print them on colored paper or have your students color them.
