Awesome High Frequency Word Activity!

I came up with a great practice/review activity for high frequency words. You could use this activity to review anything though! Math facts, spelling words etc! I took balloons and blew them up small, about the size of water balloons. I used a sharpie and wrote my HFW for the week on them. My students are set up in six tables of four students each. I started with table 1 and started handing them balloons, each student had to read and say aloud the word then pass it to the next person. When everyone at the table had done it, they passed it to the next table. I kept giving them balloons until I was out and then I had them continue to pass balloons until they had completed it three times! They LOVED it! There was giggling and a little bit of dropping balloons on the floor but overall they handled the activity very well! This is a great way to engage them and to get kinesthetic, visual and audio learning all in one! All the balloons will go on my word tree in my room! I will use this activity again for math facts and more!
