As part of their extensive site for vocabulary, roots, and more, MyVocabulary.com has added a themed area for the 4th of July. Find interactive vocabulary activities using July 4th vocabulary words. You will also find printable crosswords, fill in the blanks and more, all using the same theme words. This and other "themes" available on the site will make vocabulary development fun.
In the Classroom
Share the puzzles on your interactive whiteboard or projector or make them available as links on your teacher public page. Have students (or groups) create their own illustrated dictionaries of terms using a tool such as Bookemon, <a href="/single.cfm?id=10404">reviewed here</a>. As you add more vocabulary lists during the year, have them select their favorite 6-10 terms from each list to add to their "book."
At Home
Help make new vocabulary fun by trying some of these word puzzles together.
