November Vocabulary Games, Plus a FREEBIE!

Has this happened to you?

I'll never forget ... How could I? It happened on more than one occasion!... asking introductory questions about Pilgrims and the Mayflower and getting totally blank stares from my first graders. Aaagh - you know they spent tons of time on this in kindergarten and probably in preschool, too, elaborate feasts and all! 

But, to be fair, there are a whole lot of facts and concepts to be learned in November, to say nothing of vocabulary like cornucopia and veteran! Tough stuff for our little guys!

Here's a set of seven games and center activities that will help those November vocabulary words stick!  

The set includes 29 word cards with suggestions for using them for differentiated alphabetical order activities, write the room pages, and more. 

You'll also get a set of 14 pairs of picture /word/ definition cards that make a great at-your-desk center., for matching or memory games. 

There are also three easy prep one-page board games (with no cards to print!), plus directions and materials for making a shaker bottle activity. 

Use these activities to stock your literacy centers in November and watch those oh-so-many vocabulary words become automatic for your students!

Here's "Turkey Feathers!", your free sample game from the November vocabulary activity set.
