Vocab Review -
Heads Up

Prep:
 Print out the terms and cut them up. Put them in small envelopes. At least 20 words per envelope. You
need an envelope for every two people in your class. If you don’t have enough words to do that and
have at least 20 words in each one, just print out the list again. Repeats are just more review.
 Divide the class in pairs and move the desks so they are facing each other.
 Give each group a packet of words. They can dump out the words, but should get them in a pile face
down on the desk.
 Have the students pick which student will go first.
 After each round, students will put the words in the packet and pass the packet to the pair to the right.

Each round:
 2 minute rounds, set a timer.
 One student will hold up a word, so it is facing away from them and towards their partner. The partner
will use examples and the definitions to define the word so the student can guess it.
  If the first student guesses it correctly it goes in one pile, if the student gets it wrong it goes into a
separate pile.
 After the round have the students count up how many they got right and write the number down on a
score sheet (any piece of paper will do). They should do this individually not as a pair.
 The students should keep track of the words they didn’t know. They can line up the cards and take a
picture of them. They can write the words down. Or if they have a terms list they should star the words
they don’t know.
 Rotate!
 With the new packet of words, the partner who describes will now be guessing and the process will be
repeated.

After:
 The students should add up the number of words they got right total. The two students who got the
most right that day will get a prize.
 Students should keep track of their daily totals. Start from zero each day. At the end of the last day,
students should add together their daily totals. The two (or more) students who got the most overall
will get a prize and some extra credit points.
 At the end of each day, debrief. Ask the students to share words they got wrong or didn’t know. Define
and explain them to the whole group.
