vocab baseball

To teach our robust vocabulary from our basal, I made a baseball diamond out of posterboard and made some baseball players. After introducing our words, I put all of them on first base. As soon as someone uses a word, in the correct context, the word is then moved from 1st base to 2nd base and so on. The point of this is for students to use the words in regular conversation and if all the weekly words get to home base, the students are rewarded as a team. The students love it and get so happy when the words are moved from base to base.
