Vocabulary Basketball

Kinesthetic activities help students with hand-eye coordination and quick reactions. They also improve motor memory.

Students in grades 3P and 3O had a basketball activity during their English class in which they reviewed the vocabulary words of the selection "The Albertosaurus Mystery." Each student answers a question either by using the word in a sentence, identifying the part of speech, or saying the meaning of the word. If he answers correctly, he gets one point plus a chance to score a bonus point. If he doesn't answer, he doesn't score.

They had a lot of fun, and they were totally engaged and excited.
