10 vocabulary games you can run in class today

Ten games for this week’s word list, in the order you might use them across a unit. The ones that need nothing but a board and your voice are marked that way; the rest run in a browser with no student accounts.

1
Definition Match Race
Setup:
Paste this week’s words and their definitions into one lesson list.
How to play:
Students pair each word with its definition against a timer. A wrong pair flips back and costs a few seconds. Whoever clears the board first reads out the three that gave them trouble.
On LexiClash:
The Matching practice mode builds the pairs from your list — nothing to print, cut out or laminate.
- Time: 5–10 min
- Group: Pairs or solo
- Drills: Word-to-meaning recall
2
Synonym and Antonym Sort
Setup:
Write the week’s words in one column on the board.
How to play:
Call a word. Each team writes one synonym and one antonym on a mini-whiteboard and holds it up. A synonym scores one, an antonym two, a word another team already used scores nothing.
On LexiClash:
The synonym focus drills the same list solo afterwards, so homework matches what the room just practised.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Teams of 3–4
- Drills: Semantic range
3
Context-Clue Fill-In
Setup:
Pick six words and write one sentence for each with the word taken out.
How to play:
Read a sentence aloud and hum where the word belongs. Students write the word they think fits and the clue that told them. Reveal, then talk about the clue rather than the answer.
On LexiClash:
The context focus generates the same gap-sentence drill from your list for the students who need another pass.
- Time: 10–15 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Inferring meaning from context
4
Roots and Affixes Build
Setup:
Put three roots and six affixes on the board.
How to play:
Groups build as many real words as they can in four minutes. Every word has to be defended aloud when time is up. Attempts that turn out not to be words cost nothing — say so before you start.
On LexiClash:
The roots-and-affixes focus runs the same build on your own list, one student at a time.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Groups of 4
- Drills: Morphology
5
Vocabulary Bingo
Setup:
Students draw a three-by-three grid and fill it with nine words from the list.
How to play:
Read a definition, never the word. Students cross out the word it defines. Three in a row wins, and the winner reads their line back with the meanings.
On LexiClash:
No device needed — paper, a pen and your voice. Bring the same list to a screen round later in the week.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Definition-to-word recall
6
Shared Grid Sweep
Setup:
Put one letter grid on the projector.
How to play:
The whole room hunts words on the same grid at once, with longer words worth more. Set the constraint before you start — only words from the list, or only words that contain one of them.
On LexiClash:
Classic mode. Students join from any browser with a six-character code and no account.
- Time: 5–10 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Spelling and rapid retrieval
7
Exit-Ticket Quiz
Setup:
Nothing, once the list is in the lesson.
How to play:
Four-choice questions on this week’s words against a timer, played in the last five minutes. Standings appear live, and the words the class missed are the ones you reteach tomorrow.
On LexiClash:
The live vocab quiz writes its questions from your list, and the results screen names the words the class missed.
- Time: 5 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Retrieval under time
8
Hot Seat
Setup:
One chair at the front, facing away from the board.
How to play:
Write a word behind the student in the seat. The class describes it without saying the word or any part of it. The sitter guesses, then swaps out for whoever gave the clue that landed.
On LexiClash:
No device needed. The rule that makes it work is the ban on the word itself, so hold that line strictly.
- Time: 10 min
- Group: Whole class
- Drills: Paraphrasing and definition
9
Two Meanings, Two Sentences
Setup:
Choose four words from the list that carry more than one meaning.
How to play:
Each student writes two sentences per word, one for each meaning. Read a pair aloud and let the class name which meaning each sentence used before you confirm it.
On LexiClash:
The multiple-meaning focus drills exactly these words on its own, which is hard to set up on paper.
- Time: 10–15 min
- Group: Solo, then whole class
- Drills: Words with more than one meaning
10
Flashcard Sprint
Setup:
Open this week’s list.
How to play:
Ninety seconds of flip-and-recall, then every student writes down the three words they hesitated on. Those three go on the board as tomorrow’s warm-up.
On LexiClash:
The Flashcard practice mode plays your list with audio for each word.
- Time: 3–5 min
- Group: Solo
- Drills: Instant recall

Run it in your next lesson

Five things the no-account board already does, today, before you create anything. Each one needs a browser and a screen. None of them needs a printer, a login, or an evening of setup.

1
Board on the projector, class calls it out
Open the no-account game, put the board on the big screen, and take words from the room while you tap them in. One device, no student logins, and the whole class is playing inside a minute. It fits the last five minutes of a period.
2
One code, every phone in the room
Host a room from the same lobby and read the six-character code aloud. Students open the multiplayer page in any browser, type the code and a name, and they are in. Fifty players fit in one room, which is a full class with room to spare.
3
Run the round in the language you teach
The create-room dialog sets the language for the round, and every language is judged against its own dictionary instead of a translated English list. A Spanish or Hebrew round scores real Spanish and Hebrew words, and the Hebrew board lays out right to left.
4
Switch to Word Hunt when you want one answer, not a race
Before the round starts, the host screen swaps Classic for Word Hunt, Wheel Rush or Blast. Word Hunt points the whole class at a single target word instead of rewarding volume, which slows the room down and leaves you something to discuss afterwards.
5
The daily board as a bell-ringer
The daily puzzle is the same board for everyone who plays it that day, so your class can compare answers with each other and with everyone else. No account, no setup, and it changes on its own every morning.

How big the word list behind the games is

Every language has its own validation dictionary rather than one English list translated. English recognises over 415,000 words, Spanish over 636,000, Swedish over 404,000, Hebrew over 350,000 and Russian over 1,347,000. Japanese boards are hiragana, validated against over 287,000 hiragana words.

The dictionaries are independent word sets per language, not one list translated, so a Hebrew round is judged against Hebrew and laid out right-to-left.
Japanese boards are kana, so the kanji compound list seeds boards but never judges a submitted word.
A teacher's own lesson list drives the practice modes directly, so a class drills this week's words without leaving the rest of the language behind.
Six languages ship with their own dictionary: English, Hebrew, Swedish, Japanese, Spanish, and Russian.

One word list, both halves of the lesson

One word list drives both halves of the lesson. The class plays a shared live board together, then each student drills the same words alone across seven practice modes. Three tiers — support, core, and challenge — decide which words each child sees in that solo practice.

The free tier covers 3 classes of 50 students each, and Teacher Pro at $9/month adds unlimited classes and the progress reports.
50 students is the technical ceiling for one live room, so the free cap and the engine agree rather than the paywall arriving first.
Live controls during a round: pause and resume, plus thirty seconds, skip a word, and end the round.
After the round the results screen shows the words the class missed, and the shareable summary stays class-level.
