➤HOW YOU CAN USE IT:
There are lots of ways you can use and expand these summer word search activities:
-
Vocabulary- Find and discuss the vocabulary words
-
Phonological Awareness– Which words begin with a particular sound? (That you select)
-
Articulation– students practice the words containing their target sound
-
Categorizing– each word search already includes words in a themed category. What sub-categories can you divide the words into? For instance, with the camping word search: Which items would you use at night? Which words go with the word tent? Can you think of more words for this word search?
-
Syntax– Which words are verbs? Nouns? Plurals? Adjectives? Use the word in a sentence about last summer (past-tense), or next summer (future tense).
-
Describing– Students choose a word and describe it with a category and two or three attributes/ features
-
Narratives– Who can tell me a story about one of these words? Have students pick one word and tell their experiences. Prompt them to provide story elements- setting, characters, plot (what happened), feelings, and sequence- intro, middle, conclusion. Draw it! Write it!
-
Wh Questions– Where would find this item? What do you do with it? Why would you need it? Who has one, (noun) has done this (verb)?
-
Alphabetizing– the words listed are not in alphabetical order, have your students sequence and write them in order.
-
Sentence Formulation and Writing– Have your students choose a word and write it in a sentence.
