Here's a nifty little idea for playing with vocabulary. The word wheel could work well with advanced learners. Here it is:
This is how the activity was described:
"Get kids interacting and improving their language skills with this fun game! For the activity, I tossed vocabulary words in a lunch bag. Kids flicked the game spinner, then pulled out a word. Once they had their word, the fun began!
Students act, draw, rhyme, or define their word. They might also have to put it in a sentence, name what part of speech it is, or give a synonym or antonym for it. It's a game of chance! Below is a tally sheet I made for kids to keep score.
To make a spinner, you simply print design on card stock and laminate. Then, you add a paper clip and insert it in your spinner."
I'm sure you could make further adaptations to this. I would suggest putting the word in a sentence to encourage greater communication. How about giving another word beginning with the last letter of the stimulus word?
If you could not be bothered to make the wheels for your class you could list six things to do with the words, number them and get the class to roll a dice. Or, to make it more competititve, person A could ask person B whta to do with the word.
