Strategy Overview:
- Fun and easy way to review vocabulary together
- Builds student engagement—students are paired and take turns defining and guessing
- Can be used during literacy block or any vocabulary-centered activity
- Great way to practice vocabulary which is fundamental to reading and reading comprehension
Strategy in Action
Place a list of 5-6 vocabulary terms on the board, after pairing students so that one student is facing the board and the other the opposing wall. The student facing the board will describe/circumlocute the word until the student facing the opposing wall is able to guess it. Students switch and tackle another round of words, changing roles.
