7-UP Vocabulary Challenge
Make learning new vocabulary into a challenge game and see what happens!
This is a quick and material-free way to engage students with words they are learning!
The “7-UP”catch … Tell the students that they are going to play a game of “7-UP” with the vocabulary words. Naturally they will be excited because it’s a “game”. The goal is to use the word in a sentence. The trick is that the sentence has to be at least 7 words. When the students point out “That’s going to be hard!” respond by “challenging” write a sentence better than the one you write. They will immediately want to “beat” you for the BEST sentence. After they have shared with a shoulder partner, they nominated 3 peers to read their sentence for the class. Vote for the most phenomenal sentence using the word.
