Description: Students are assigned a topic of the day. Each takes a Post-it® and writes a word that is part of the "vocabulary tapestry" pertinent that topic. On the back of the Post-it, they write a brief definition, researched from the dictionary. Each student then posts the words on a large square designated area. Students form two teams, taking turns to guess the definitions of each word, using context clues, word origin clues, roots, prefixes, etc. The team with the highest score as the Post-its are removed, wins the game.

The artist's names are written on Post-it® notes of certain colors, the artist's styles are written on Post-it notes of other colors. The students are asked to take the Post-it notes and stick them on the works of art displayed in the room; matching the artist's name and style or period of art with the particular art work. For instance, Starry Night-Vincent Vangogh. Then the students sit in a circle and discuss the works of art, if they are labeled correctly and how these works fit into history. Rap songs are written about the works of art and the artists.
