Switch On The Mute Button<\/strong><\/h3><p>This activity is a unique and great tool to let kids realise why learning vocabulary is crucial in our day-to-day lives.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In this activity, students don\u2019t use words at all! Instead, they turn on the mute button for 30 minutes (or more, if you\u2019d like) and go zip. For this 30-minute activity, kids don\u2019t express themselves through words; they can only translate what they want to say through actions.<\/p><p>The activity is fun because kids are naturally hilarious and dramatic while expressing themselves through actions, but soon they will realize how difficult it gets when you don\u2019t have words to back your sentiments.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Pretend you don\u2019t understand what the kids are trying to express right away to emphasise the chosen lesson \u201cImportance of words!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>18.

I Spy With My Little Eye<\/strong><\/h3><p>This is one of the most fun classroom vocabulary games for kindergarteners. The objective of the game is to guess the object being described.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Divide the class into teams. Give out clues describing the object to each team. If they guess it right, they earn a point. If they don\u2019t, the other team can try to guess the object.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The team with the most points wins the game.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>20. Finish After Me<\/strong><\/h3><p>This is probably our favorite game of all. It is a fast paced, quick -thinking game that gets super competitive and hilarious once it speeds up!&nbsp;The idea is to think of all the words possible with the designated letter before hopping on to the next letter in the alphabet.<\/p><p>Let the students sit in a big circle and play this game. The rule is simple: no words can be repeated.<\/p><p>For example: Start the game with letter A and students take turns, in clockwise motion, to speak out a word starting from letter \u2018A\u2019. <\/p><p>Like Alright&lt;Amateur&lt;Aristocrat&lt;Apple&lt;Alien&lt;Airplane&lt;Airlines\u2026 and continue until nobody can think of a word starting with \u201cA\u201d. That\u2019s when the game shifts to the alphabet \u201cB\u201d.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>21.
