Board Shiritori / Board Association

A good way to get the older kids remembering words and the younger kids using the mini dictionaries at the back of their text books.

Put a starting word on the board, then they take the last letter and have to write a word that starts with it (eg: cat -> tank -> king -> gold etc).  If they are several kids, have them make teams and race to write ten or fifteen words.

Association works in the same way , but is associating the meanings, and is good for older kids. (eg: sea -> blue -> sky -> bird etc)
