Level-Up Your Word-Wall with Interactive Sliders

Word walls can be very ineffective ways of decorating the room.  For most may students, the word wall is just a bunch of words that the teacher decides to put on a wall.

But what if it could be more?









This is a pretty quick way to reinforce vocabulary words.  There are dozens of uses for this little paper gadget.


Here are just a few ways to use the interactive word wall sliders:

- Young Presenters - Allow students to randomly select a word from a future lesson, and give them at least a week to spend learning all they can about that word. The following week, have each student present their slider to the class. If it's too small, try using a doc-cam!

- Fast Finishers, Go! - Whenever students finish ahead of the class, have them find new words that interest them and then create a slider to share with the class.

- Guess My Word: In this game, the whole class can work in groups or independently to identify a word that the teacher selected by using clues that the teacher gives. Want students to interact with the content even more? Allow a student to pick a word and provide the clues!



-Interactive Vocabulary Center - Place the word wall low enough for students to physically interact with and give them simple tasks to complete for a select number of words.


This little object is both interactive and student-made.  It allows the student to Imagine a word wall made entirely of kid-produced interactives?  It's easy to make and has a plethora of possible uses.
