Students play an interactive quizzing game to learn about dictionary guide words. This set includes matching cards. For example, one card reads, “raw–reach.” The matching card gives a word that is within those dictionary guide words, razor. Every student in class receives one card with either a set of dictionary guide words or a word. Students play Quiz-Quiz-Trade with their cards. The quizzing looks like this: Students put a hand up and find a partner. In the pair, one partner has the raw–reach card and asks, “What is one word that you might find on the raw–reach page?” The other partner responds. Then they quiz the other way. The other partner has a card with a word. He asks, “What are two possible guide words for the page that would contain the word ‘honey?’” His partner responds. Students trade cards and find a new partner to quiz. After many rounds of pairing and quizzing, the teacher asks students to hurry and find their partner with their matching card. The repeated quizzing with multiple classmates makes the content super memorable. Your students have so much fun that they barely realize they’re learning!
