Activities with the word cards art
Earlier I wrote a blog full of vocabulary activities. With regard to project art, I can give the following tips:
- Smear a blob of paint on the word cards with a whiteboard marker. What emerges? Have the children describe this object.
- Lay out several lists and categorize the objects in a list.
- Draw or have a child imagine the word and have the other children name the corresponding word.
