2. Write down the term that matches the clue
3. Use the term in an original sentence
4. Find a real-world connection
First team to correctly complete all terms wins!

Students work in small groups to sort vocabulary words into meaningful categories. For example:
- Geographic terms
- Political terms
- Economic terms
- Cultural terms
Groups then explain their reasoning and can challenge other groups' categorizations. This helps students see relationships between terms and concepts.

Turn vocabulary practice into an active game! Students draw a vocabulary term card and must act it out without speaking. Other students guess the term. For abstract concepts, encourage students to act out scenarios where the term would be used. For example:
- 'Democracy' could be shown by acting out voting
- 'Immigration' could be shown by acting out moving to a new place
This gets students moving and thinking creatively about terms.

Other students list the vocabulary terms they hear and rate how accurately they were used.

Students create mind maps showing relationships between vocabulary terms. Starting with a central concept, they:
1. Branch out to related terms
2. Draw lines between connected terms
3. Write brief explanations of relationships
4. Add small drawings or symbols
This helps students understand how concepts connect in social studies.

This connects vocabulary learning to familiar social media formats.
