Word Wheel

Get kids interacting and improving their language skills with this fun game! I liked the vocabulary spinner that I saw (here), so I made my own! 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, click here to find out how to insert it in your spinner.

  3. You can drag the images off to your desktop (or save if you're on a pc)
    The spinner has to be placed into a document. The worksheet is print ready (both are 72 dpi - but print well)
