| Title | New Vocabulary Quiz Ideas |
| Body | These suggestions for creative vocabulary quizzes were recently posted to the FLTEACH listserv. ---- One I've suggested before is to provide four possible answers: 1. I've never seen this word before 2. I've seen it but can't remember what it means 3. It means ________________ 4. It means __________________ and I can use it in a sentence: ________________ This forces the student to declare the word has never been presented to him or that he just didn't pay enough attention. #4 is an extra credit and you have to explain that the sentence needs to be full and meaningful, not just "This is __________." Barrett, P. Re: Creative vocabulary quizzes. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (5 Dec. 2005). ---- I play "lingo bingo" with my 10th, 11th, and 12th graders (and they ALL love it). I have the pictures depicting the vocabulary words from the chapter ready (using Google Images). They each get one copy of the picture sheet. They cut and glue the pictures on construction paper in any order they want (as long as it is standard, 5x5 etc.) --this eliminates any moaning and groaning that their bingo sheet is "unlucky" or "no good". Playing lingo bingo several times reinforces the vocabulary (both visually and orally); then I use the same exact pictures on a quiz. The majority get perfect scores everytime, while the others are near perfect themselves. I let the winner have the option of being the lingo bingo "caller" (but they rarely want to because they'd rather play); it's quite fun! Pistone, P.M. Re: Creative vocabulary quizzes.
