| Title | Vocabulary Game for Kinesthetic Learners |
| Body | My kids enjoy this game to review vocabulary. I put them in groups of three. Two kids put their heads down. The third kid in each group sees the secret word I hold up. When I say go, the other two kids raise up their heads and the third kid begins to sculpt the word using playdough (no words allowed). The first kid to guess the word gets the point, then the sculptor rotates out with one of the guessers . It's just a variation of Pictionary, but my kids love using playdough. I found very cheap packs of ten at a party supply store. Obviously concrete nouns are easiest to sculpt (boat, tree, camera, etc..) but with some creativity you can sculpt anything - abstract nouns (rhythm, joy, honor), verbs (to iron, to read) etc. It really works for pretty much any vocabulary. Best of all, the entire class can be sculpting the same word or you can have the sculptor in each group choose a word from your vocabulary list so that every group is doing a different one at once.
