Overview:

This activity is popular among novice low and novice mid students who are learning lots of vocabulary across a wide variety of topics. This printable game card is fashioned after the popular board game Scattergories. Each student or student team is provided a card. The teacher calls out a letter of the alphabet and students write down a vocabulary word that starts with that letter and that represents the categories on the game card. After two to three minutes the teacher calls time and students stop writing. Students share their words with others. If any other student has the same word then that word does not count. Only students with unique words that were not written by others will receive a point. This challenges students to think about more advanced vocabulary rather than using the most common words. The categories on the card include the following: Names, Food, Places, Clothing, Animals, Body, House, School, and City.
