Vocabulary Spinner
The Vocabulary Spinner is a flexible resource for your lower primary classroom.
All you need to do is provide a word list based on your students needs.
Print or display the spinner as an individual or small group activity. Each segment contains a vocabulary building strategy such as finding synonyms or using the word in a sentence.
Take turns to put a word through the spinner and have fun completing the responses collaboratively.
Use as an individual or small group activity.
