Slap Words
This recipe I found and have modified off of a Kindergarten teacher's website: (http://kindermooney.blogspot.ca/search/label/Slap%20Words). I like this activity because it is a fun game to incorporate into vocabulary development with primary students. Although it takes some prep work of making the cards, once introduced this game can be picked up and played as a time filler at any point in the day.
