Virtual Pictionary

#WeAreSaintJamesSchool

By Diane Buckner, 6th grade math teacher:

One of my students’ favorite activities in Vocabulary class was playing our version of "pictionary." Students would take turns going to my SmartBoard and drawing an illustration of a unit word. The class would figure out which word the student was drawing. Now, with our remote learning, we have come up with a new way to "play" with our words. The students pick a word from our 20 word unit, draw an illustration of the word, and write a sentence that would use the word. Once I have approved their drawing then the rest of the class can see it and comment on what word they think is being illustrated. It keeps the class connected, we still "play" our review game, and now the parents can see their students work as well!
