#15 Vocabulary Paint Chips
I personally feel that vocabulary knowledge leads to more colorful conversations so I created the Vocabulary Paint Chips Activity. With this activity students will choose four vocabulary words they struggle with and write each on the darkest square of the four paint strip sets. Next, they have to find synonyms and/or antonyms that match each of the difficult words to write on the lighter shades of the same color.
Finally, students have room to the right of each paint strip color to fill in both the definition of the word and a sentence using that word in context. This last part is what really makes the Vocabulary Paint Chips Activity awesome!
