From Jessica Harris:

“My students created flashcards for science vocabulary andcontent and put 2-3 definitions or statements on each flashcard.I do a myriad of different activities with reviewing the cards tokeep the students on their toes. Today each student was given10 snap cubes (for 10 flashcards) and paired with a partner.When a student determined that the partner mastered a flash-card, the partner earned a snap cube. The goal was to earn all10 snap cubes. Later, the students exchanged the snap cubesfor small prizes. Vocabulary Building Card Games From Margie Latall, a substitute teacher in West Bend, Wisconsin I recently discovered a series of books by Scholastic, VocabularyBuilding Card Games! There are different grade levels, and the gamecards are reproducible, making it easy for teachers to use immediately.The book I have from the library is for Grade 3, written by Liane B.Onish, and it is a 2008 copyright. My local library also had Grade 2and 5 available. Check it out!” National Education Association http://www.nea.org/tools/31978.htm
