Elementary students tend to use a limited vocabulary.
Teachers can provide the addition of new vocabulary words in ways that are fun and enriching.
There are various activities that provide ways for children to brainstorm lists of words to be used in sentences, stories, or conversation. The purpose of these activities are to help teachers provide ways for students to increase the number of words in a given situation for student usage. These activities are suggestions that can be used at anytime and for any subject. As the students learn to work in large groups, set up small groups to collect ideas. Guide these discussions with an accepting manner and encourage everyone to participate.
