Line Them Up Like Dominoes. Probably not the best use for your classroom dictionaries…but it would be fun! There is probably some clever way to make it into a physics lesson.Nothing surpasses the masters of menace when it comes to spooking stuff up.

You could also do a similar activity by lining them up end to end across the classroom. Measure the tower and see whose answer was the closest. Invite each student to estimate how tall the tower is. Why not use your dictionaries cross-curriculur? Have the students stack all the dictionaries into one tall tower. In the end, the students will vote on whose definition they think is the real one. All the other students will write a fake definition down, being careful to make it sound real. They’ll write the actual definition down on a slip of paper. Have one student choose an obscure word from the dictionary. Have you ever played the amazing party game Balderdash? It’s one of my favs! Well, your students can play their own version.

#BALDERDASH GAME WORD GENERATOR SERIES#

Play Mystery Word. To play this game, give a series of clues.

*Bonus – Choose words from an upcoming vocabulary test for this game! This would be a good one to do in teams everyone has his or her own dictionary, but the winner wins a point for the whole team rather than individually. The first person to call out the correct page number wins the round.

When you call out a word, the student(s) must find the word as quickly as possible. Give each student or pair of students a dictionary. You can make one up yourself, or get this one for free. Send your students on a Dictionary Scavenger Hunt.They are, of course, great for looking up words and you will use them to teach dictionary skills, but there are also other great things you can do with these rather large volumes of words. Hopefully, you’ve got dictionaries, maybe even a class set. Are you looking for some fun activities for National Dictionary Day? It’s October 16th, which was Noah Webster’s (the father of the American dictionary) birthday!
