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. If you would like more ideas for vocabulary activities visit my vocabulary activities page.

Have you ever thought of using Pictionary to review vocabulary words with your class. Its a great activity for your visual learners and games always make reviewing vocabulary words much more fun.
For this to be a really effective game, when you first introduce a word, have your student make a visual representation of the word. This way, when your students have to figure out a way to draw the word cluster, temperature, or prediction, they have already had practice making a drawing of the vocabulary term. They will then be able to better recognize other students attempts at representing that same vocabulary word. The following is a set of steps that you could use to play Pictionary in your classroom.
