Fun Activities to Do Instead of a Word Wall
---------------------------------------------
STOMP!
Instead of hanging your words on a word wall, place them on the floor instead.
(You may want to laminate them.)
Instruct students to stand in a large circle. Scatter the word cards throughout the middle of the circle. Have the students move in a circle motion while repeating this chant twice:
WORD STOMP, WORD STOMP
WHAT SHALL I STOMP?
WORD STOMP, WORD STOMP
WHAT SHALL I STOMP?
After the students say the chant twice, the teacher interjects:
WORD STOMP, WORD STOMP
"MADDIE, GO AHEAD A STOMP"
Maddie would then move to the middle of the circle and STOMP on and off a word. After she stomps off, the students yell out the word. Maddie returns the the circle and the game repeats.
This is a great way to create movement in the classroom, which brain research shows movement increases achievement. I know your students will ask to play this AGAIN and AGAIN.
