are a noun, verb or adjective. Everyone has a
different word.
- Your goal is to fill out the chart by coordinating with
your classmates. You do this by going up to a
classmate and making a specific movement to show
what category your word is under. Then, you will act
out your noun, verb, or adjective for your classmate
to guess. After the word is guessed you can write in
on your chart and move on.
