Title – HOT SEAT By – Angie Boldt Primary Subject – Language Arts Secondary Subjects – Language Arts Grade Level – 3-6 I have found this game to be very helpful in motivating students to learn vocabulary words. I place a chair or stool in the front of the classroom. I choose a student to sit in this “Hot Seat.” The student should sit with his/her back to the chalkboard. I write a vocabulary word on the board. The other students in the class must think of ONE word clues or synonyms for that particular vocabulary word. The hot seat person chooses three students for clues. The student in the chair has three guesses to guess the vocabulary word that is written on the board. If they guess correctly, I usually give out a small treat such as a Tootsie Roll. I teach 5th grade and my students love this game. They frequently ask if they can play it before a test.
