Vocabulary Activity Slide Pack | Teaching Resource

Make vocabulary exciting with this all-in-one resource packed with creative high-impact activities! Designed for upper primary and lower secondary students, this collection builds word knowledge, expands expressive language, and strengthens reading comprehension. This versatile pack is designed as a series of short, focused literacy drills that help students expand their vocabulary.

This resource is perfect for:

• resettling students at the beginning of lessons i.e. as bell-ringer activities,
• transitioning between lessons,
• breaking up longer lessons and refocusing students,
• beginning a creative writing lesson as a warm-up activity,
• and keeping early finishers engaged and focused.

What's included:

• 6x Synonym Challenge Activities: Students write at least two synonyms for a set of six words.
• 6x Connotation Think-Pair-Shares: Students write down as many synonyms as they can for the word provided. They discuss the synonyms they wrote with their neighbor and label the words according to whether they have a positive or a negative connotation, then share their insights with the class. 
• 6x Vocab Blitz Challenges: Students write 2-3 sentences using a set of four words.
• 6x Visual Vocab Activities: Students write short paragraph in response to a visual prompt.
