21 Ideas for Teaching Vocabulary in the Classroom
I’m sharing 21 ideas for teaching vocabulary. You may not be able to use all of them, but I hope you can find some ideas that will work well for you!
I’ve shared books about vocabulary instruction, as well as the theory and techniques. This post is a lot more practical. We’re all about ideas today!
I’m sharing the bare bones of the ideas here.
I’m adding lengthier explanations for some of them with more tips and fleshed-out instructions on my website devoted just to vocabulary instruction, VocabularyLuau.
You’ll see that option at the end of the idea if it’s available.
IDEA #1: Semantic Maps
In this activity, the teacher chooses a word and displays it for the class on a whiteboard, etc.
Students read the word and then think of words that come to mind when they see that word (this is awesome because it activates prior learning).
A list is created of all of the words that come to mind, and then those words are categorized.
This can be done as a whole class or in small groups.
Students then create a “map” using a graphic organizer and discuss it. Additional or substitute categories can be suggested.
As students read through the text, they can add related words to the map.

IDEA #2: Eye Spy
Give students a list of words to search for in a text or have them find unfamiliar words.
You can award points to the words based on different criteria (longest new word, word with most consonants, etc.).
Invest in a set of inexpensive dollar store magnifying glasses to make this more game-like.
This is a great pre-reading activity.

IDEA #3: Making Choices
Students show their understanding of vocabulary by saying the word when it applies, or remaining silent when it doesn’t.
For example: “Say radiant if any of these things would make someone look radiant.
”
-Winning a million dollars.
-Earning a gold medal.
-Walking to the post office.
-Cleaning your room.
-Having a picture you painted hung in the school library.
(This idea is from the book Bringing Words to Life, recommended in the books section.)
This is one of the key strategies teachers need in introducing new vocabulary. Because of that, I’ve written extensively and given a dozen examples from different texts for Kinder through 12th grade on VocabularyLuau.
IDEA #4: Sorting Hat
Use a Harry Potter theme to have students sort words into categories. They can pull them out of a hat.
If you give them the categories, it’s called a “closed sort.” If they come up with their own categories, it’s called “open sort.”
This one is so, so fun. I explain lots more about how to do it on VocabularyLuau.
IDEA #5: Word Pairs
Give students words in pairs and have them evaluate if the words are the same, opposite, go together, or are unrelated.
This strategy is terrific for building critical thinking skills along with the vocabulary.
Get even more details and variations at VocabularyLuau.
(adapted from Word Power: What Every Educator Needs to Know about Teaching Vocabulary)
IDEA #6: Linear Array
In this strategy, students use a graphic organizer that is a rectangle, three ovals, and then another rectangle, all in a line.
The word in question goes in the rectangle on the far left.
The rectangle on the far right is filled in with a word that is the opposite.
The center three ovals are filled in with words that go from the far left to the far right, gradually become less similar until they reach the opposite.
For example, microscopic, tiny, small, bigger, large.
You can see examples of the graphic organizer, more details, and lots of variations on VocabularyLuau.
(adapted from Words, Words, Words: Teaching Vocabulary in Grades 4 – 12)
IDEA #7: Games
Many “real” games work well for vocab play and practice.
Games such as Balderdash, Taboo, Scrabble, Blurt, Bananagrams, word bingo, and others are fun.
There are online games as well, such as Scholastic’s Synonym Toast.
[Note: I am a notoriously horrible Scrabble player, and every time I play I think, “English teachers should be better at this.” It’s not my favorite.]
IDEA #8: Scavenger Hunt
Have a word scavenger hunt in books, magazines, articles on the net, or in the school or home.
Don’t just go for numbers; go for unusual words, academic vocabulary, weird spellings, homophones, etc.
Want more details on this strategy? Get the step-by-step on VocabularyLuau.
IDEA #9: Word Wheel
Copy and paste this image onto a sheet of cardstock and make a vocab spinner game. EisforExplore shares the whole idea here.

IDEA #10: Vocabulary Photo Album
Using a simple, inexpensive photo album, students create a visual glossary of key words.
I’ve got pictures of examples, details, and more ideas at VocabularyLuau, if you’d like to read more.
IDEA #11: Tally
Use tally marks to track words you’re trying to practice.
Mark whenever the teacher says the word in context, and mark twice when a student does.
Alternatively, you can have the tally marks be even, but play the teacher versus the class.
There’s so much more to this strategy. Learn more about how tally marks can help you teach vocabulary at VocabularyLuau.
IDEA #12: Vocabulary Relay
Print out words on one set of cards (copy this set a few times) and definitions, context, or sentences in which they could be used (fill-in-the-blank) on another set (just one set).
Jumble up the words in a pile in the middle of the floor, and jumble up the definitions, context, and sentences to keep with you. Break students into teams of five-ish.
Call out the definition/context/sentence and give students some think time (8 – 10 seconds) to talk about what word it might be.
After the discussion time, call out “Word!” One member from each team runs to the center and tries to find the word in the pile.
I like having multiple sets of the words so more than one team can get it.
Check to make sure they’re correct, and then discuss it briefly before the next round.
Note: I got this idea from another teacher’s site, but I cannot for the life of me remember where. I have searched Google for it, and can’t find it. A small prize to the person who can figure out the originator of the idea!
I’ve written quite a bit about it here, but I’ve written more (and have lots of pictures of it in play) at VocabularyLuau.
IDEA #13: Vocabulary Category Relay
This is a different relay activity than the one above, even though the names are so similar.
In this version, teams of students race to fill in words responsive to a category that start with the letters of the alphabet in order.
This can be done individually, in groups, or even as a whole class.
It’s also a good one for both digital and in-person instruction.
When I wrote about it on VocabularyLuau, I shared these score sheets for digital use, as well as printable versions.
IDEA #13: Comic Strip Word Activity
I got the idea for using comic strips from This Reading Mama.
In some ways, it’s really a modified Frayer model.
I loved it so much that I started making them like crazy. It turns out that they let me get a clear glimpse into how well the students had mastered the word.
I have an entire article about this, filled with loads of ideas and resources at VocabularyLuau.
You can check out that article here (or click the image below).
IDEA #14: Paper Plate Vocab
I love this inexpensive matching game from Finding Joy in Fifth Grade, and I think students could create it themselves.
IDEA #15: Heads Up Vocabulary Game
Students hold a word on a card in front of their foreheads. The students don’t know what words they have.
Students ask each other a series of questions to determine the meaning of their word. Or, students can give students clues to the person with the word to help that person guess the word.
This is a review activity, and it’s not for initial instruction.
It’s such a favorite that I wrote a very comprehensive article about it on VocabularyLuau. There’s even a hack for printing on Post-it notes!
IDEA #16: Word Sneak
Word Sneak is a game invented by Jimmy Fallon that he plays with guests on the Tonight Show.
In the game, Jimmy and the guest each get a stack of cards with words on them that they have to work into the conversation naturally (without sounding forced or stilted).
It’s hysterical to watch and fun to play.
It’s also a great way to learn different ways to approach a word.
It’s so much fun that when I wrote the article about in on VocabularyLuau, I also included a Tonight Show backdrop you can use in class to give it an even more “real” feel.
IDEA #17: Frayer Model
The Frayer Model is an oldie-but-goodie vocab activity model in which student work in multiple ways in a specifically laid out graphic organizer to engage with words.
This is such a must-know that I wrote a (very lengthy and detailed) plan for how to use it at VocabularyLuau.
It includes downloads and printables and digital versions, as well as exactly how (and why) to use this strategy.
If you are not familiar with it, please do yourself a solid and read more.
IDEA #18: Tweet
Have students create a “tweet” that a word would send out or with the word in the tweet in context.
You can use a tool like PrankmeNot or Siminator to make it look real.
This strategy is so fun and so useful!
I’ve written about five different ways to do this (with examples) on VocabularyLuau, and I even have this free template for you there:
IDEA #19: Brain Power Words
This is a strong academic vocabulary activity that takes a little bit of time, but would really help get the words past the superficial level of understanding.
- Ask small groups of students to preview sections of a text and identify difficult words.
- For long chapters, assign different sections to different groups.
- Students place a Post-it next to the words in the text they identify as potentially difficult.
- After identifying the words, the group goes back and uses context clues to hypothesize what the words might mean.
- Clues of substitution: A known word would make sense in the context and is probably a good definition.
- Clues of definition: The word is defined in the text (many textbooks do this).
- Clues of opposition: Words “not, unlike” etc. are excellent clues to what a word is not and thus help define the words.
- After the Brain Power Words list is identified and definitions sought, the students check their work with the teacher.
This strategy is from Becky McTague and Margaret Richek (it’s in the book Reading Success for Struggling Adolescent Learners by Susan Lenski and Jill Lewis).
IDEA #20: The Concept Cube
A concept cube is a pattern that is printed on paper or cardstock, cut out, folded, and taped into a three-dimensional cube.
Students write, type, or draw on the pattern prior to assembling the cube, and then they “play” with the cube to explore concepts.
Depending upon the way you choose to use it, they can be similar to a three-dimensional Frayer model.
You can print out a blank cube and have students print the responses below, or complete it online and then print it out.
Before folding, students write clearly in each square following the directions below.
Each student is given one challenging vocabulary word from a recent reading and asked to:
- Write the assigned vocabulary word in one square.
- Write a synonym (word or phrase) in another square.
- Write an antonym (word or phrase) in another square.
- Write a category or categories it could belong to.
- Write the essential characteristics of the concept of this word.
- Give one example.
Cut, fold, and tape the cube.
Roll the cube and read what comes up on the “top”; the student must tell the relationship of that word or phrase to the original word.
After students know their own cube without any errors, they exchange with a peer.
You can get more ideas and details, as well as a free printable, at VocabularyLuau.
IDEA #21: Phone a Friend
Search TeacherspayTeachers or Teachers Notebook for vocabulary activities you can use or adapt.
The beauty of this is that you can search by grade level and subject, so you can focus on what you’re studying.
A caveat to this is that if you create something grade level or content specific, you can share it with other teachers, too.
The Importance of a Variety of Activities
You want to have a variety of activities so that vocabulary instruction doesn’t become routine or boring.
Keeping it fresh with lots of different ways of learning will help students (and the teacher) avoid getting burned out or tired of working with vocabulary.
There’s been so much interest in this that I created an entire website just for vocab ideas called VocabularyLuau.
These 21 activities for teaching vocabulary are just a start. I’d love to know your ideas!

12 ways to expand your vocabulary and start speaking beautifully
September 2Education
"Just reading more" won't help.
Share
0You can listen to the article. If it's more convenient for you, turn on the podcast.
1. Get rid of parasitic words
Make room for new expressions. Eliminate “uh”, “well”, “how to”, “this is the most” and the like, as well as obscene language and clichés, from your speech. Send overly capacious expressions to them, like “real”, “fuck” and “cool”.
The trouble with them is that they can replace a significant part of the lexicon and make speech poor.
Notice unwanted words behind you. Record your own speech on a camera or voice recorder, imagine that you are at an interview or presentation.
Reread your social media posts.
Analyze all this and write down the words and expressions that you want to get rid of. Share this list with a friend or colleague, ask him to pull you up every time he hears forbidden vocabulary.
2. Add variety to your reading
Logically, in order to know more words, you need to read more. But do not cling only to high literature. Flip through low-brow novels, scroll through social media posts, blogs from people you don't know, and magazines that don't suit your interests.
You should know equally well what "indifferent", "emancipation" and "simulacrum" means and what "hype", "crowdfunding" and "punchline" are.
3. Learn the meaning of unknown words
Do not be lazy to look into the dictionary and do not hesitate to ask the interlocutor if you do not understand what he is talking about. There is no shame in confessing your ignorance. This is better than pretending to understand everything, continuing an unproductive conversation and losing the chance to learn something new.
4. Communicate with people who are different from you
Your usual social circle is constantly “cooked” in the same lexicon, because you have the same interests and topics for discussion. You have probably noticed that when someone from your company finds another job or meets new people, his speech changes. He sprinkles with unusual words, jokes, and even the manner of speaking can become completely different.
Every new person changes you. Therefore, strive to constantly expand the circle of your acquaintances. Chat at the gym, shop, go to more events, and connect online. Don't push away those who are different from you.
5. Carry a notebook with you
In it, do not hesitate to note interesting words that you come across and unwanted expressions that you notice in yourself. But just taking notes is not enough - review them regularly and draw conclusions.
6. Learn a foreign language
This will make Why learn a foreign language? Benefits of bilingualism / Telegraph Reporters you pay attention to your native language.
You will become more careful with grammar and syntax, you will begin to carefully select words.
In addition, while studying a foreign language, you are already practicing the mechanism of memorizing new words, as well as introducing them into the active vocabulary.
7. Write
Start a personal diary or blog on social networks. Every day, describe your thoughts and events in great detail. Write about your goals and desires, invent stories and stories. When chatting with friends, avoid broken messages and do not use emoji instead of words.
First, writing is a great way to apply and reinforce what you have learned. Second, if you are writing by hand, it will help P. A. Mueller, D. M. Oppenheimer. The pen is mightier than the keyboard: Advantages of longhand over laptop note taking / Psychological Science to remember new words even better.
8. Memorize aphorisms, poems, quotes
It is much more pleasant to learn catchphrases that touched the soul than to memorize vocabulary items one by one.
Mark and write down everything that is hooked. Learn, repeat and reread. Over time, there will be more interesting expressions in your vocabulary.
It's not just about embellishing speech. Imagine how great it will be to show off your knowledge in a conversation. Just do not be zealous with quotes and high-flown lines: you may be mistaken for an upstart.
9. Use flashcards
If you can't remember a very difficult and interesting word, use the flashcard method. Many people know this method from school.
On one side of the card you write the word, on the other side you write its meaning. First you need to try to remember the answer yourself, and then turn the element over and check yourself.
This method is very simple and effective: the memorization process begins with preparation. Therefore, it is better not to use applications, but to create cards yourself and write on them by hand. Yes, and you can take a small pile with you anywhere.
10.
Practice - Make sentences where each word starts with the next letter of the alphabet. For example: “The stork was a great harmonica player. Even the raccoons howled plaintively and nodded their curious muzzles, enjoying the charming songs. That skill became fatal, fatal. The gloomy heron ambitiously threw poison at the frail, selfish youth.
- Make up stories from words that belong to the same part of speech. Describe your morning using only nouns. “Call, wake up, alarm clock, turn off. Rise, search, clothes. Approach, window, opening, freshness. Cheerfulness, inspiration, joy. By the same principle, make up stories with only verbs, adjectives or participles. This activity seems simple only at first: if you set yourself the goal of adding more and more details, you will have to learn how to carefully select words and pull them out of the passive vocabulary.
- Compose tautograms. So called sentences, all words of which begin with one letter.
Here is an example from Nikolai Kultyapov's Olgin Ostrov: Onuphry's father, Osip Ostromirovich Ordynsky, graduated from Oxford full-time. He unequivocally refused to remain far from the Fatherland, going back. The obsessed Ordynsky announced a survey of individual districts, regions, vast outskirts. - Choose synonyms and antonyms for words. This exercise can be done anywhere and anytime. Bored in line or at lunch - come up with a synonym for the word. For example, “beautiful” is picturesque, wonderful, gratifying, beautiful, and so on. Do the same with antonyms.
11. Play
You can learn new words while having fun. Solve puzzles, solve puzzles and crossword puzzles - it's practically a vacation. Apart from the hard work of the brain, of course.
12. Follow the "Word of the Day"
Install applications like "Word of the Day" on your smartphone, subscribe to relevant blogs and mailing lists. As a rule, in such headings, complex and unusual lexemes are presented with an explanation and an example of use.
This will help if you can't find the time to look up new interesting words and their meanings. All you have to do is learn them and put them into practice.

They will allow you to spend time on social networks for the benefit of self-development. We described their features, the format of training and sorted out all the pros and cons. Choose the profiles you like and learn English with ease.
@
lazy_english
This is one of the most popular accounts with over 800 thousand subscribers.
The profile is bright, with a lot of pictures from popular films, cartoons and TV shows. The association with a famous character makes it easier to remember the word. The group spreads 3 words a day with transcription and translation. There are also examples of sentences with new vocabulary, they are accompanied by a translation and reading rules. For a beginner level, transcriptions of sentences written in Russian letters will be useful. For example, here is the caption for the picture above:
“You are not such a talkative person.
[yu] [a:] [note] [sach] [e] [ˈto: cativ] [ˈne: sn].
[ju] [ɑː] [nɒt] [sʌʧ] [ə] [ˈtɔːkətɪv] [ˈpɜːsn] .
You are not a very talkative person.”
The authors of the account recommend writing a new word in the comments three times in order to remember it faster. This method is practiced on many pages, and it will be even more effective if you make new sentences with these words.
Lazy English has an interesting feature: at the end of the day they check how the participants remember the words.
Previously, this was done using video, but now they use the carousel or gallery function instead, that is, several photos in one post that you need to scroll to the right. But the meaning remains the same: for a word in Russian, they give three words in English that are similar in spelling, but only one of them is the correct translation. We met this verification option only in this account, which we consider another plus in order to subscribe to it.
@ business_english_yappi
The group specializes in business vocabulary. For example, here you can find the translation of the phrases “Give financial assistance”, “Spread information”, “Close business”, etc. But the account will be useful not only for those who work in sales and marketing. Most phrases and idioms can be used in everyday life. Like the stable expression “Flavor of the month”, which means popular people at the moment. But the downside is that the authors do not provide translation of phrases into Russian and their transcriptions.
In the post example, you can see that a phrase or idiom in English is accompanied by its meaning and the way it is used - all this without translation. Therefore, the group is suitable for a more advanced level of language learning. Although, if you scroll back, you can find cards with the translation of phrases into Russian and their transcription.
@ learn_repeat_check
English learning in this account is based on the principle “Learn, repeat, check”. Every day, the authors publish a post with 3 new words or phrases and an audio recording of their pronunciation. The next similar post reinforces what has been learned, and the third checks how the words are remembered. This happens as follows: words are given in Russian, and in the comments you need to write their translation into English.
Topics change every week, which systematizes knowledge and allows you to gain a certain vocabulary. Also in the profile there is a section “Let's play”, where in each next comment you need to write a word starting with the last letter of the previous one.
The principle of the familiar game “to the cities”, but the vocabulary in this case is not limited in any way. Of the minuses can be called unattractive, the same type of images. But this profile is definitely useful if you want to learn English and are willing to sacrifice beautiful pictures in the feed. In addition, recently the authors began to post posts of a different format: top 10 series for learning English, “write a translation of the phrase”, etc. In a word, the account is developing and becoming more interesting.
@englishfan_org
The profile is maintained by a certified English teacher Anastasia Abramova. In her blog, she shares information on grammar and vocabulary of a foreign language. For example, what are the differences between the past tenses and how to compliment correctly. In addition, the teacher gives advice on learning English: explains how much time should be devoted to the language every day and how to learn to understand spoken language.
There are also entertaining posts where in the comment you need to write an association in English to the word from the previous person.
Posts are posted almost every day, Anastasia answers all questions and comments of subscribers. and quite friendly.
@ english_training_camp
Another author's blog, this time from language coach Oksana Yavnaya. Oksana conducts her own English courses, but there is practically no advertising for them in the profile, with the exception of rare mentions of classes - this is a big plus for an Instagram account. The most important advantage of English_training_camp is quality materials. In the profile, the girl uses so many different ways of learning that you will definitely improve your English!
Oksana offers her subscribers to watch excerpts from serials in English, explains the difference between similar language constructions, features of grammar and vocabulary, conducts a dictation and even a non-standard game in which subscribers guess a page number from a book, and in return receive a new word to memorize.
The design of the page and Oksana's communication with subscribers deserve a separate like. The profile is less than a year old, and during this time it has become much more attractive and interesting not only in terms of content, but also in design. Therefore, we definitely recommend that you subscribe to it.
@englishwithmusic
There are many ways to learn English. The authors of this blog believe that the easiest way to learn a language is through music. Really, who doesn't love her? Moreover, many people want to understand the words of songs and sing along to their idols. In the profile every two days they post a new video with English text superimposed on it, and in the description of the post they give the translation of individual keywords and the entire song. For people who are passionate about music, this option will help you keep track of song releases, meet new artists and enjoy learning English. The only downside is that not everyone may like specific compositions.
But we advise you to look at this profile, because there are clips of different genres here: from pop music to rock, and you can find what is close to you.
@english.govori.project
Profile maintained by Olga Sazonova, founder of the Speak Project. She has Cambridge certificates and has been teaching English for adults for 14 years.
Olga is known on Instagram as a blogger, specializing in English. Therefore, the profile differs from others in its special design. Here you will not find pictures with English phrases superimposed on them, as in all the others: only professional photos and bright images. And not so long ago, Olga began uploading videos with a personal explanation of phrases We think there will be more such posts soon.0003
Girls will definitely like the profile, because the key topics of the page are fashion, cinema and shopping. For example, one of the last posts explains what “smoothie” is, and how this word is useful for drivers? But apart from such lifestyle topics, Olga gives a lot of educational material.
She shares life hacks for learning a language, tells how she herself started from scratch and overcame problems like laziness and fear, and lays out frequently used words and phrases with translation. The downside is that the posts are published irregularly: from two times a day to once every two weeks. But in general, Olga is an example of how an insta blogger can make posts not only beautifully, but also for the benefit of others.
@soeasy_english
Detail is what defines this profile. In it, in detail, with the help of different formats, they analyze all topics from grammar to complex vocabulary. The materials are divided into sections: “Riddle”, “Quote”, “Audio”, “Dictionary”, “Test”, etc. To learn English, you will be asked to try hard. You will need to listen to songs in English and write down certain words from it, translate the text, listen to lessons on the pronunciation of all sounds in English, learn words on the topic and participate in interactive activities.
But do not be afraid that all this is difficult: the authors of the page answer all questions and help subscribers in every possible way.
We found a separate section “Humor” interesting, in which jokes or funny situations are posted, and the subscribers themselves need to write the translation for them. In addition, the authors publish funny phrases that you can use in everyday life. Posts are posted, as a rule, every other day, but sometimes less often. If you devote at least 10 minutes to studying them every day, then this page may well replace the hours spent on textbooks and dictionaries, because everything is already collected in one place.
@snap_english
If your goal is to learn as many words as possible, then this account is perfect. Here every day they post a large amount of vocabulary in the form of a list of words, idioms and constructions on a particular topic. The disadvantage is that they are only accompanied by translation without transcription, so for those who are not sure about their pronunciation, such language learning can be difficult.
In addition, most people find it difficult to learn new words simply from the list provided. It is much easier to memorize with the help of an association or by doing some task. There are no such ways to consolidate knowledge. Also, the profile focuses on vocabulary, and English grammar is not considered at all. Despite the disadvantages, the account is quite informative and useful, so we advise you to look at it and determine if this format of language learning suits you.
@mind_the_difference
This account will be useful not only for beginners, but also for experienced English speakers. It describes the differences between words similar in meaning or pronunciation, which at least once, but everyone confused. For example, "Beside" and "Besides" or "Often" and "Frequently". Agree that sometimes the use of such similar words causes difficulty. And in this profile, everything is explained simply, with examples of use and sometimes with transcription, if the words are written almost the same, but sound different.
Posts are posted regularly, but not often - sometimes every three days.
@englishcoffeebreak
First of all, this profile attracts attention with its design: a stylish, original and understandable coffee theme for everyone. The profile is run by a girl named Elena, who now lives in Israel and studies English, Hebrew, French and Italian. With coffee, the page is connected only with the design, it will not work to study it in the morning with a cup of an invigorating drink, because the author gives a rather large amount of material. It is divided into blocks: “Idioms”, “Word facts”, “English slang”, etc. A regular column about slang expressions is also a distinctive feature of this page, and it is also useful, because it is important to learn spoken English. There is also a “Useful tips” section with tips for learning the language. For example, how to learn faster and how to watch movies in the original voice acting. Also, sometimes Elena explains grammar rules, and recently the heading “Sum it up” has appeared.
