Vocabulary Scattergories Categories Comaprison Activities for ANY Class or Content Area
Like the games Scattergories and Last Word, this activity uses fun categories for students to make those important "connections" to the vocabulary/terminology in ANY class; it is also excellent for any literature unit when comparing characters.
Document includes over 200 different categories, conveniently arranged in a table for easy copying and cutting for cards. The categories are also placed in lists (like in the game Scattergories). The topics, however, are more relevant to students than those you may find in those games.
I've also included directions and a student handout to use as a vocabulary activity for Math, Science, Social Studies, English, Art, Music, Literature/Reading, Business, Driver's Ed., Health, Home Economics, Computer Science, etc. Plus, it includes a literature comparison activity and directions for other uses for the game, such as a fun end-of-the-period closing activity. And the best thing--no set up! Once you've copied and cut the cards, you're done. Keep them in a zip lock bag, old coffee canister, jar, or envelope. I have one set in my desk drawer & one set in my podium drawer so they're always handy.

Hi, I purchased this as an elementary librarian and it would definitely be over our heads but I appreciate the suggested use of the slips in your April 14, 2013 feedback response... great start...

I love the idea but struggle with the connections myself. This has meant that while I want to use it, I don't feel that confident. I'll keep it till semester end when I have time in class to burn and I will get the kids to work out what needs to happen and no doubt it will be really obvious for them and great fun.

Thanks so much for all your wonderful feedback! Another way you can use the slips is for a fun game of "Write down as many things as you can think of that...[insert the "category" from slip here]." This helps the students wrap their minds around the category and generate lists of things. I've split the room into teams and they competed on who could think of the most in a minute (or however long you wish). Later, you can have them recall those lists and see if any of the things they wrote down relate to a character or vocabulary word. I keep the slips in a baggie in my podium and will play little games like that when we have a couple of minutes left in class. It's fun to see what they come up with. I hope that helps!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for twelve years, and have a total of 16 years experience. Most of my experience is teaching high school English and journalism classes; however, for several years I taught an art history class. I teach all levels--from honors students to special education students; therefore, I'm constantly modifying my assignments to fit my students' needs.
