The Hot Seat
In this game, one student gets to be in "the hot seat" guessing the word that is on the projector screen behind them.
Since they cannot see the word, it is up to the rest of the class to help them guess which word it is by providing definitions, synonyms, antonyms, acting it out, or making up sentences for context clues.
The class may use their phones, dictionaries, the novel, or other resources to help come up with clues for the student in the hot seat. But, the goal is to learn these words to the point no other resources are necessary.
When the student guesses the word correctly, another takes over the hot seat. The game continues until we've reviewed all 20 vocabulary words!!
Here you can find the PowerPoint with all our vocabulary words if you'd like to practice with a friend or review at home!
