Turn vocabulary review into a quick, high-interest classroom game!
In this video, I share a simple buzzer activity you can use with a vocabulary page from your language program. Students work in groups, use categories from the vocabulary list, draw clues, and buzz in when they are ready to guess.
It feels a little like Pictionary, but with a vocabulary-focus that makes it easy to use when you have 10–15 minutes and want students actively reviewing words.
In this video, I share how to:
Use a vocabulary page as the base for a game
Divide vocabulary into six categories
Add dice to choose the vocabulary section
Use buzzers to make guessing more engaging
Have students draw words on whiteboards or small paper
Turn a short review block into fun vocabulary practice
How it works:
Students roll a die to choose a vocabulary category
One student draws a word from that section
Classmates buzz in when they are ready to guess
A correct guess earns a point
Play moves on to the next student
This is a flexible activity for vocabulary review, especially when you want something active, simple, and easy to set up. It works well with printed vocabulary pages, whiteboards, or small pieces of scrap paper.
