If you're talking about VERY little children, I like to let them help me cut out pictures from catalogs or magazines. Then I paste the pictures to index cards and write the name of the item on the other side.

Spread the cards out over the floor, word side up, and have them try to sound out (or recognize) the words. They can check their answers by flipping the cards over. You can make it competitive by flipping a coin to see who goes first, then let that child keep going as long as he/she is correct, collecting all cards they read correctly. When one is missed, play passes to the next child. The one with the most cards correct is the winner.

You can remove cards that they learn well and add new ones periodically.

If you are talking OLDER children who can already read well, get a dictionary that is age appropriate. We used to make up games in which a player looks through the dictionary and finds a word, then reads the word and either gives the correct definition OR a false definition. Other players then say if that is the correct definition or not. The player gets a point for each person he tricks---and each person who is correct also gets a point. Then the dictionary is passed to the next person. This game works well with any age, by the way. I've played it with adults.

I love the idea of vocabulary games. What a great way to teach children. While other kids will be learning "OMG" and "LOL", you'll be paving the way for the next generation of leaders!
