Great Game

I love Cranium. This game would be a great way to practice vocabulary. There are so many activities you can do with this to prepare for a test or review any topic.

Games are always great!

Wow, thank you for making this fun game! Yes, it is a lot like Cranium and easy to modify for whatever type of vocabulary... I would use it for art! This can test students' knowledge of the material in a fun new way! I love multi-sensory assessments and this is spot on! Great job!

Cranium Vocab - bringing game night to the classroom.

This is a wonderful way of leveraging the multiple intelligences that our students present. As a special education teacher, I am constantly looking for new ways to rehearse key vocabulary. This is a great option that gives more opportunities for kinesthetic and visual learners than Jeopardy. Awesome resource!

Thanks for sharing this

Thanks for sharing this interactive vocabulary lesson. I am a music teacher and do not do a lot of paper/pencil vocabulary activities, but I do like to know if the students understand and remember subject-specific vocabulary. This type of activity is great for my class because each group is presenting or performing for their classmates, which is a useful skill in music class.

vocabulary cranium

This seems really interesting. I have been looking for ways for students to learn and then use their new vocabulary words. I also like the fact that it is very multisensory, especially using the play dough.

Nicely Done!

This is a very nice contribution! I saw that someone had commented that the scores reset when you flip between pages. This is true, but there are ways around it. You could add them as a pullout on the game page. Or, you could save a copy of the file and open it separately (thus switching between ink files and not pages within a single file).

Cranium vocab

My kids and I love Cranium! I've never thought of using it for review of vocab before though! My only comment is that I would want to switch back and forth between the directions page and the score page, but every time I do, I lose the scores and times. Any way to correct that?

Idea

I love it too! I agree that it would be very helpful to reference the directions throughout but because the counters are flash they reset when you go to another page. I suggest that you copy the directions and paste them on the page with the game. You can put a background in the textbox so the directions are easy to read and then add an arrow that you can use to pull out the directions when you need them. I am emailing the lesson with the directions on the game page to you.

Happy Mimio-ing!

Cranium Vocab Game

Thanks for sharing this great activity. It is a great way to review vocabulary and it get the kids to do more than just memorize a definition. It also allows them to use all their senses and really understand what the word means.

Cranium Vocab Game

This is great! I'm excited to use it and share with other teachers. I do have a question. How do you get the scores to go up or down? Everything else works just great.

Creative Vocabulary Game

I just completed a training for ESOL teachers at a community college. They were looking for a lesson that would help their students learn new vocabulary. They were thrilled that they could edit and add their own words. Directions are very clear and addresses all learning styles.
