Grade:

Grades 3-5, Middle

Setup:

Teams of 2-4

Objective:

Break students off in to teams (have as many teams as you’d like). Have them look up a *difficult (appropriate)* word in the dictionary (they can use iPads). Each team will find a word they think the other teams won’t know and come up with two different, possibly definitions for that word, in addition to the actual definition. When everyone comes back to the group, each team reads aloud their word and reads the three definitions (in any order they want) and the other teams have to guess what the true definition is. If they guess right, they get a point. If they guess wrong, the team who read the definitions gets a point. Play to as many points as you want.
