Animal Adaptations Vocabulary Game - Banned Words

Banned words is a great game to review or learn your animal adaptations topic key vocabulary. Your class will become word detectives and put their communication skills to the test as they describe key topic words without using a list of banned words. As they think about the animal adaptations themed key words and phrases they will take time to consider the meaning and deepen their understanding. We have found it extremely effective in helping students to retain the definitions.

Banned words can be played in pairs, groups, or as a class. It is great to be used before, during, and after a topic to help their retention.

This pack has three sets of differentiated cards. The first set contains slightly easier vocabulary and the second set will provide more of a challenge.
