One of the activities I did with children is to make picture dictionaries. They have to draw the word and then write the names. Each subject should be on a different sheet. So perhaps: fruits, vegetables, animals, weather, actions and so on. |

flahscards and games with flashcards are usually a good way, it works perfectly in my 4th grade classess,
you can find lots of games in the net using this tool, and they love getting points playing in groups, and as they are in 4th grade you can use both picture flaschards and words flashcards

Well, I let the children stand in circle; one of them says a word, according to what they are learning, and the second child has to repeat the previous word and one of his own...and so on.
I hope I �ve been able to explain it.

Songs with lots of repetition -
for example:
Head and shoulders knees and toes..........
There were 10 in the bed and the little one said, roll over.
Where is thumb man
He �s got the whole world in his hands
What do we do with a drunken sailor
There were 10 green bottles
Old MacDonald had a farm
These are great songs for learning!

You can use TPR (total physical response) games and boardgames.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, friends ;-)
however, they got their vocab such as: haggard, jovial, ecstatic, robust, fad, hazard, tingled, etc. How to make them memorize the meaning easily? I �m a private tutor at home, what should i do to help them memorize the meaning of those kind of words??

Just wondering, why would 4th graders need to know THOSE words? If we �re talking about 7-9 year olds, I find those words a bit strange.
My students are building up a vocabulary with words such as pets, family, clothes, the classroom, hobbies and things like that. I don �t understand why haggard, jovia, ecstatic etc. are relevant to such young learners.?????
