Word Wizard
This activity gets students finding words outside of the text book. Teachers can create an advertising campaign to get the students interested. Then build a chart for students to tally when they find a word that has been introduced. Points may be given for hearing the word on TV, the radio, on the street or at home. Certificates are given every few weeks for points collected.
Word of the Day
Teach a word of the day to students. Have students listen for it being used throughout the day. Students can keep a log for how many times the word is used during the day. A list can be posted in the classroom for students to use when they are writing.
Word Walk

What is the longest word in the group? What words start with the same letter? Can you draw a picture for some of your words? Can you write a story about the word walk using the words you found?
