NEW 4 Pictures & a Word

4 Pictures and a Word



I have added new activities to my 4 Pictures and a Word. My students LOVE this activity and ask me to play it daily. When I was evaluated with this lesson, I got all level 5s (top level). They now include:
  • Civil War Causes
  • Causes of World War I
  • Great Depression 
  • World War II
Please check back often because I will be adding more to my store







This INGENIOUS activity is similar to 4 Pics and a Word or What's the Word. It is a rigorous vocabulary activity that uses pictures to help students learn vocabulary words.

I usually play this activity in pairs and start all students at level 1. They have to keep guessing until they get the word correct then they can move on to level 2. They can be laminated so that students don't write on them and they last from year to year.
