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.
